import idlelib.idle.PyShell; idlelib.idle.PyShell.main()

should do the trick.

import start_pythonwin

Simple when you know how!

No, I think this will be silly. Python has enough GUIs, let's

I'm rewriteing batch.py to communicate with dialogs instead of
stdin/stdout. Then I guess it then will work with MSWindows GUI
builds with the -mwindows link option. :-)
