<｜begin▁of▁sentence｜>### Instruction:
Given an integrated development environment (IDE) shell that might support status messages, how can you check whether the current shell instance supports displaying status messages? Use the `supports_status_messages` method to determine this support.
### Response:
import json

# Assume IDLEShell is a module that we have access to from a hypothetical package
from IDLEShell import IDLEShell

# Instantiate an IDLEShell object (this step depends on how the IDLEShell class is designed to be used)
shell = IDLEShell()

# Check if the shell supports status messages
supports_status = shell.supports_status_messages()

# Print the result
print(f'Supports status messages: {supports_status}')
