Some objects, like EditorWindow, are too monolithic. You cannot put a toplevel inside another toplevel. Yes, you can. There are two possiblities, the one is converting the toplevel into a frame with wm_forget(), after which you can simply pack it into another frame. The second one is configuring a frame as a container, which allows to even embed a window from a foreign application. I'm not sure this works on all platforms, though.

Some objects, like EditorWindow, are too monolithic. You cannot put a toplevel inside another toplevel. yes I found this out trying to reuse the editor window and shell. Another, for those thinking long term, is that implementation modules in idlelib are defined as private since 3.6 (PEP-434, idlelib.__init__). I pushed for this in order to be able to refactor to reduce interconnections, and break some things apart, and also to switch to ttk widgets. For instance, breaking EditorFrame apart from EditorWindow would allow me to put multiple editors on multiple tabs of a notebook in an application window. It would also allow others to put an editor window in their tkinter window. +1 -- Robin Becker -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
