Comment 19 for bug 1361535

I would use the same behavior at M-x compile in determining the window in which to put the compilation buffer. I know it 6.1.1 of python-mode the existing windows would be reused properly when the python shell buffer was not visible in any of the windows. Right now, afais, if the python shell buffee is not visible, a new window will be split. Do you not find the same behavior on your end?
Should i continue with trying to run the test?
