This is the code I have for the remote execution
patch.  (Remote execution must be enabled with an
explicit command line argument -r.)

Caveats:

- undocumented
- slow
- security issue: the subprocess should not be the
server but the client, to prevent a hacker from gaining
access

This should apply cleanly against IDLE as currently
checked into the Python CVS tree.

I don't want to check this in yet because of the
security issue, and I don't have time to work on it. I
hope the idlefork project will pick this up though and
address the issues above.

Uploading the patch again.

It appears the patch is slightly outdated now, atleast the
chunk removing set_break does not apply anymore.

Has this been integrated to idlefork?

No, the IDLEfork project has stalled except for tweaking the
configuration code (which would be good to merge into the
Python IDLE  tree when it's ready).  I expect the patch
failure is shallow so I won't bother fixing it.

IDLEFORK has now applied this patch and is working on making
it better.  Closing here.
