[Idle-dev] is this feature implemented?

[Neal Norwitz]

This are 2 feature requests on SF for Python:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=473584&group_id=5470&atid=355470

Summary: Ctrl-C works always in IDLE

It would be nice to have a background thread look for user keys, so
that it is possible to edit or press ctrl-C if a program is running
for a long time without output.

Summary: [IDLE] auto indent/parentheses

It'd be really nice to have an automatic indent of a line when using
the "TAB" key anywhere on the line, this feature exist in the python
emacs mode and is REALLY nice and a total time-saver.  Also, having
the possibility to see which parentheses/brackets you're closing while
typing (as in a lot of editors) would be really nice

---

Are either of these implemented in idlefork?  
Can they be closed when we merge back into python?

There's also another feature mentioned in PEP 42:

    - IDLE should reload & recompile modules changed externally.  To
      be done properly, scripts will have to be run in a separate
      process.

Is that done?
