| and shell key bingings in the IDLE doc. | |
| gh-113903: Fix rare failure of test.test_idle, in test_configdialog. | |
| gh-113729: Fix the "Help -> IDLE Doc" menu bug in 3.11.7 and 3.12.1. | |
| gh-57795: Enter selected text into the Find box when opening | |

| gh-104486: Make About print both tcl and tk versions if different, | |
| as is expected someday. | |
| gh-88496 Fix IDLE test hang on macOS. | |
| gh-103314 Support sys.last_exc after exceptions in Shell. | |
| Patch by Irit Katriel. | |
| What's New in IDLE 3.11.0 | |
| (since 3.10.0) | |
| Released on 2022-10-24 | |
| ========================= | |
| gh-97527: Fix a bug in the previous bugfix that caused IDLE to not | |
| start when run with 3.10.8, 3.12.0a1, and at least Microsoft Python | |
| 3.10.2288.0 installed without the Lib/test package. 3.11.0 was never | |
| affected. | |
| gh-65802: Document handling of extensions in Save As dialogs. | |
| gh-95191: Include prompts when saving Shell (interactive input/output). | |
| gh-95511: Fix the Shell context menu copy-with-prompts bug of copying | |
| an extra line when one selects whole lines. | |
| gh-95471: Tweak Edit menu. Move 'Select All' above 'Cut' as it is used | |
| with 'Cut' and 'Copy' but not 'Paste'. Add a separator between 'Replace' | |
| and 'Go to Line' to help IDLE issue triagers. | |
| gh-95411: Enable using IDLE's module browser with .pyw files. | |
| gh-89610: Add .pyi as a recognized extension for IDLE on macOS. This allows | |
| opening stub files by double clicking on them in the Finder. | |
| bpo-28950: Apply IDLE syntax highlighting to `.pyi` files. Add util.py | |
| for common components. Patch by Alex Waygood and Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-46630: Make query dialogs on Windows start with a cursor in the | |
| entry box. | |
| bpo-46591: Make the IDLE doc URL on the About IDLE dialog clickable. | |
| bpo-45296: Clarify close, quit, and exit in IDLE. In the File menu, | |
| 'Close' and 'Exit' are now 'Close Window' (the current one) and 'Exit' | |
| is now 'Exit IDLE' (by closing all windows). In Shell, 'quit()' and | |
| 'exit()' mean 'close Shell'. If there are no other windows, | |
| this also exits IDLE. | |
| bpo-45495: Add context keywords 'case' and 'match' to completions list. | |
| bpo-45296: On Windows, change exit/quit message to suggest Ctrl-D, which | |
| works, instead of <Ctrl-Z Return>, which does not work in IDLE. | |
| What's New in IDLE 3.10.0 | |
| (since 3.9.0) | |
| Released on 2021-10-04 | |
| ========================= | |
| bpo-45193: Make completion boxes appear on Ubuntu again. | |
| bpo-40128: Mostly fix completions on macOS when not using tcl/tk 8.6.11 | |
| (as with 3.9). | |
| bpo-33962: Move the indent space setting from the Font tab to the new Windows | |
| tab. Patch by Mark Roseman and Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-40468: Split the settings dialog General tab into Windows and Shell/Ed | |
| tabs. Move help sources, which extend the Help menu, to the Extensions tab. | |
| Make space for new options and shorten the dialog. The latter makes the | |
| dialog better fit small screens. | |
| bpo-44010: Highlight the new match statement's soft keywords: match, case, | |
| and _. This highlighting is not perfect and will be incorrect in some rare | |
| cases, especially for some _s in case patterns. | |
| bpo-44026: Include interpreter's typo fix suggestions in message line | |
| for NameErrors and AttributeErrors. Patch by E. Paine. | |
| bpo-41611: Avoid occasional uncaught exceptions and freezing when using | |
| completions on macOS. | |
| bpo-37903: Add mouse actions to the shell sidebar. Left click and | |
| optional drag selects one or more lines of text, as with the | |
| editor line number sidebar. Right click after selecting text lines | |
| displays a context menu with 'copy with prompts'. This zips together | |
| prompts from the sidebar with lines from the selected text. This option | |
| also appears on the context menu for the text. | |
| bpo-43981: Fix reference leaks in test_sidebar and test_squeezer. | |
| Patches by Terry Jan Reedy and Pablo Galindo | |
| bpo-37892: Change Shell input indents from tabs to spaces. Shell input | |
| now 'looks right'. Making this feasible motivated the shell sidebar. | |
| bpo-37903: Move the Shell input prompt to a side bar. | |
| bpo-43655: Make window managers on macOS and X Window recognize | |
| IDLE dialog windows as dialogs. | |
| bpo-42225: Document that IDLE can fail on Unix either from misconfigured IP | |
| masquerade rules or failure displaying complex colored (non-ascii) characters. | |
| bpo-43283: Document why printing to IDLE's Shell is often slower than | |
| printing to a system terminal and that it can be made faster by | |
| pre-formatting a single string before printing. | |
| bpo-23544: Disable Debug=>Stack Viewer when user code is running or | |
| Debugger is active, to prevent hang or crash. Patch by Zackery Spytz. | |
| bpo-43008: Make IDLE invoke :func:`sys.excepthook` in normal, | |
| 2-process mode. User hooks were previously ignored. | |
| Patch by Ken Hilton. | |
| bpo-33065: Fix problem debugging user classes with __repr__ method. | |
| bpo-32631: Finish zzdummy example extension module: make menu entries | |
| work; add docstrings and tests with 100% coverage. | |
| bpo-42508: Keep IDLE running on macOS. Remove obsolete workaround | |
| that prevented running files with shortcuts when using new universal2 | |
| installers built on macOS 11. | |
| bpo-42426: Fix reporting offset of the RE error in searchengine. | |
| bpo-42416: Display docstrings in IDLE calltips in more cases, | |
| by using inspect.getdoc. | |
| bpo-33987: Mostly finish using ttk widgets, mainly for editor, | |
| settings, and searches. Some patches by Mark Roseman. | |
| bpo-40511: Stop unnecessary "flashing" when typing opening and closing | |
| parentheses inside the parentheses of a function call. | |
| bpo-38439: Add a 256x256 pixel IDLE icon to the Windows .ico file. Created by | |
| Andrew Clover. Remove the low-color gif variations from the .ico file. | |
| bpo-41775: Make 'IDLE Shell' the shell title. | |
| bpo-35764: Rewrite the Calltips doc section. | |
| bpo-40181: In calltips, stop reminding that '/' marks the end of | |
| positional-only arguments. | |
| What's New in IDLE 3.9.0 (since 3.8.0) | |
| Released on 2020-10-05? | |
| ====================================== | |
| bpo-41468: Improve IDLE run crash error message (which users should | |
| never see). | |
| bpo-41373: Save files loaded with no line ending, as when blank, or | |
| different line endings, by setting its line ending to the system | |
| default. Fix regression in 3.8.4 and 3.9.0b4. | |
| bpo-41300: Save files with non-ascii chars. Fix regression in | |
| 3.9.0b4 and 3.8.4. | |
| bpo-37765: Add keywords to module name completion list. Rewrite | |
| Completions section of IDLE doc. | |
| bpo-41152: The encoding of ``stdin``, ``stdout`` and ``stderr`` in IDLE | |
| is now always UTF-8. | |
| bpo-41144: Make Open Module open a special module such as os.path. | |
| bpo-40723: Make test_idle pass when run after import. | |
| Patch by Florian Dahlitz. | |
| bpo-38689: IDLE will no longer freeze when inspect.signature fails | |
| when fetching a calltip. | |
| bpo-27115: For 'Go to Line', use a Query entry box subclass with | |
| IDLE standard behavior and improved error checking. | |
| bpo-39885: When a context menu is invoked by right-clicking outside | |
| of a selection, clear the selection and move the cursor. Cut and | |
| Copy require that the click be within the selection. | |
| bpo-39852: Edit "Go to line" now clears any selection, preventing | |
| accidental deletion. It also updates Ln and Col on the status bar. | |
| bpo-39781: Selecting code context lines no longer causes a jump. | |
| bpo-39663: Add tests for pyparse find_good_parse_start(). | |
| bpo-39600: Remove duplicate font names from configuration list. | |
| bpo-38792: Close a shell calltip if a :exc:`KeyboardInterrupt` | |
| or shell restart occurs. Patch by Zackery Spytz. | |
| bpo-30780: Add remaining configdialog tests for buttons and | |
| highlights and keys tabs. | |
| bpo-39388: Settings dialog Cancel button cancels pending changes. | |
| bpo-39050: Settings dialog Help button again displays help text. | |
| bpo-32989: Add tests for editor newline_and_indent_event method. | |
| Remove unneeded arguments and dead code from pyparse | |
| find_good_parse_start method. | |
| bpo-38943: Fix autocomplete windows not always appearing on some | |
| systems. Patch by Johnny Najera. | |
| bpo-38944: Escape key now closes IDLE completion windows. Patch by | |
| Johnny Najera. | |
| bpo-38862: 'Strip Trailing Whitespace' on the Format menu removes extra | |
| newlines at the end of non-shell files. | |
| bpo-38636: Fix IDLE Format menu tab toggle and file indent width. These | |
| functions (default shortcuts Alt-T and Alt-U) were mistakenly disabled | |
| in 3.7.5 and 3.8.0. | |
| bpo-4630: Add an option to toggle IDLE's cursor blink for shell, | |
| editor, and output windows. See Settings, General, Window Preferences, | |
| Cursor Blink. Patch by Zackery Spytz. | |
| bpo-26353: Stop adding newline when saving an IDLE shell window. | |
| bpo-38598: Do not try to compile IDLE shell or output windows. | |
| What's New in IDLE 3.8.0 (since 3.7.0) | |
| Released on 2019-10-14 | |
| ====================================== | |
| bpo-36698: IDLE no longer fails when writing non-encodable characters | |
| to stderr. It now escapes them with a backslash, like the regular | |
| Python interpreter. Add an errors field to the standard streams. | |
| bpo-13153: Improve tkinter's handing of non-BMP (astral) unicode | |
| characters, such as 'rocket \U0001f680'. Whether a proper glyph or | |
| replacement char is displayed depends on the OS and font. For IDLE, | |
| astral chars in code interfere with editing. | |
| bpo-35379: When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens | |
| when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when | |
| IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying. | |
| bpo-38183: To avoid test issues, test_idle ignores the user config | |
| directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files | |
| within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings. | |
| bpo-38077: IDLE no longer adds 'argv' to the user namespace when | |
| initializing it. This bug only affected 3.7.4 and 3.8.0b2 to 3.8.0b4. | |
| bpo-38401: Shell restart lines now fill the window width, always start | |
| with '=', and avoid wrapping unnecessarily. The line will still wrap | |
| if the included file name is long relative to the width. | |
| bpo-37092: Add mousewheel scrolling for IDLE module, path, and stack | |
| browsers. Patch by George Zhang. | |
| bpo-35771: To avoid occasional spurious test_idle failures on slower | |
| machines, increase the ``hover_delay`` in test_tooltip. | |
| bpo-37824: Properly handle user input warnings in IDLE shell. | |
| Cease turning SyntaxWarnings into SyntaxErrors. | |
| bpo-37929: IDLE Settings dialog now closes properly when there is no | |
| shell window. | |
| bpo-37849: Fix completions list appearing too high or low when shown | |
| above the current line. | |
| bpo-36419: Refactor autocompete and improve testing. | |
| bpo-37748: Reorder the Run menu. Put the most common choice, | |
| Run Module, at the top. | |
| bpo-37692: Improve highlight config sample with example shell | |
| interaction and better labels for shell elements. | |
| bpo-37628: Settings dialog no longer expands with font size. | |
| The font and highlight sample boxes gain scrollbars instead. | |
| bpo-17535: Add optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows. | |
| bpo-37627: Initialize the Customize Run dialog with the command line | |
| arguments most recently entered before. The user can optionally edit | |
| before submitting them. | |
| bpo-33610: Code context always shows the correct context when toggled on. | |
| bpo-36390: Gather Format menu functions into format.py. Combine | |
| paragraph.py, rstrip.py, and format methods from editor.py. | |
| bpo-37530: Optimize code context to reduce unneeded background activity. | |
| Font and highlight changes now occur along with text changes instead | |
| of after a random delay. | |
| bpo-27452: Cleanup config.py by inlining RemoveFile and simplifying | |
| the handling of __file__ in CreateConfigHandlers/ | |
| bpo-26806: To compensate for stack frames added by IDLE and avoid | |
| possible problems with low recursion limits, add 30 to limits in the | |
| user code execution process. Subtract 30 when reporting recursion | |
| limits to make this addition mostly transparent. | |
| bpo-37325: Fix tab focus traversal order for help source and custom | |
| run dialogs. | |
| bpo-37321: Both subprocess connection error messages now refer to | |
| the 'Startup failure' section of the IDLE doc. | |
| bpo-37177: Properly attach search dialogs to their main window so | |
| that they behave like other dialogs and do not get hidden behind | |
| their main window. | |
| bpo-37039: Adjust "Zoom Height" to individual screens by momentarily | |
| maximizing the window on first use with a particular screen. Changing | |
| screen settings may invalidate the saved height. While a window is | |
| maximized, "Zoom Height" has no effect. | |
| bpo-35763: Make calltip reminder about '/' meaning positional-only less | |
| obtrusive by only adding it when there is room on the first line. | |
| bpo-5680: Add 'Run Customized' to the Run menu to run a module with | |
| customized settings. Any command line arguments entered are added | |
| to sys.argv. One can suppress the normal Shell main module restart. | |
| bpo-35610: Replace now redundant editor.context_use_ps1 with | |
| .prompt_last_line. This finishes change started in bpo-31858. | |
| bpo-32411: Stop sorting dict created with desired line order. | |
| bpo-37038: Make idlelib.run runnable; add test clause. | |
| bpo-36958: Print any argument other than None or int passed to | |
| SystemExit or sys.exit(). | |
| bpo-36807: When saving a file, call file.flush() and os.fsync() | |
| so bits are flushed to e.g. a USB drive. | |
| bpo-36429: Fix starting IDLE with pyshell. | |
| Add idlelib.pyshell alias at top; remove pyshell alias at bottom. | |
| Remove obsolete __name__=='__main__' command. | |
| bpo-30348: Increase test coverage of idlelib.autocomplete by 30%. | |
| Patch by Louie Lu. | |
| bpo-23205: Add tests and refactor grep's findfiles. | |
| bpo-36405: Use dict unpacking in idlelib. | |
| bpo-36396: Remove fgBg param of idlelib.config.GetHighlight(). | |
| This param was only used twice and changed the return type. | |
| bpo-23216: IDLE: Add docstrings to search modules. | |
| bpo-36176: Fix IDLE autocomplete & calltip popup colors. | |
| Prevent conflicts with Linux dark themes | |
| (and slightly darken calltip background). | |
| bpo-36152: Remove colorizer.ColorDelegator.close_when_done and the | |
| corresponding argument of .close(). In IDLE, both have always been | |
| None or False since 2007. | |
| bpo-36096: Make colorizer state variables instance-only. | |
| bpo-32129: Avoid blurry IDLE application icon on macOS with Tk 8.6. | |
| Patch by Kevin Walzer. | |
| bpo-24310: Document settings dialog font tab sample. | |
| bpo-35689: Add docstrings and tests for colorizer. | |
| bpo-35833: Revise IDLE doc for control codes sent to Shell. | |
| Add a code example block. | |
| bpo-35770: IDLE macosx deletes Options => Configure IDLE. | |
| It previously deleted Window => Zoom Height by mistake. | |
| (Zoom Height is now on the Options menu). On Mac, the settings | |
| dialog is accessed via Preferences on the IDLE menu. | |
| bpo-35769: Change new file name from 'Untitled' to 'untitled'. | |
| bpo-35660: Fix imports in window module. | |
| bpo-35641: Properly format calltip for function without docstring. | |
| bpo-33987: Use ttk Frame for ttk widgets. | |
| bpo-34055: Fix erroneous 'smart' indents and newlines in IDLE Shell. | |
| bpo-28097: Add Previous/Next History entries to Shell menu. | |
| bpo-35591: Find Selection now works when selection not found. | |
| bpo-35598: Update config_key: use PEP 8 names and ttk widgets, | |
| make some objects global, and add tests. | |
| bpo-35196: Speed up squeezer line counting. | |
| bpo-35208: Squeezer now counts wrapped lines before newlines. | |
| bpo-35555: Gray out Code Context menu entry when it's not applicable. | |
| bpo-22703: Improve the Code Context and Zoom Height menu labels. | |
| The Code Context menu label now toggles between Show/Hide Code Context. | |
| The Zoom Height menu now toggles between Zoom/Restore Height. | |
| Zoom Height has moved from the Window menu to the Options menu. | |
| bpo-35521: Document the editor code context feature. | |
| Add some internal references within the IDLE doc. | |
| bpo-34864: When starting IDLE on MacOS, warn if the system setting | |
| "Prefer tabs when opening documents" is "Always". As previous | |
| documented for this issue, running IDLE with this setting causes | |
| problems. If the setting is changed while IDLE is running, | |
| there will be no warning until IDLE is restarted. | |
| bpo-35213: Where appropriate, use 'macOS' in idlelib. | |
| bpo-34864: Document two IDLE on MacOS issues. The System Preferences | |
| Dock "prefer tabs always" setting disables some IDLE features. | |
| Menus are a bit different than as described for Windows and Linux. | |
| bpo-35202: Remove unused imports in idlelib. | |
| bpo-33000: Document that IDLE's shell has no line limit. | |
| A program that runs indefinitely can overfill memory. | |
| bpo-23220: Explain how IDLE's Shell displays output. | |
| Add new subsection "User output in Shell". | |
| bpo-35099: Improve the doc about IDLE running user code. | |
| "IDLE -- console differences" is renamed "Running user code". | |
| It mostly covers the implications of using custom sys.stdxxx objects. | |
| bpo-35097: Add IDLE doc subsection explaining editor windows. | |
| Topics include opening, title and status bars, .py* extension, and running. | |
| Issue 35093: Document the IDLE document viewer in the IDLE doc. | |
| Add a paragraph in "Help and preferences", "Help sources" subsection. | |
| bpo-1529353: Explain Shell text squeezing in the IDLE doc. | |
| bpo-35088: Update idlelib.help.copy_string docstring. | |
| We now use git and backporting instead of hg and forward merging. | |
| bpo-35087: Update idlelib help files for the current doc build. | |
| The main change is the elimination of chapter-section numbers. | |
| bpo-1529353: Output over N lines (50 by default) is squeezed down to a button. | |
| N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the | |
| Settings dialog. Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by | |
| right clicking on the output. Squeezed output can be expanded in place | |
| by double-clicking the button or into the clipboard or a separate window | |
| by right-clicking the button. | |
| bpo-34548: Use configured color theme for read-only text views. | |
| bpo-33839: Refactor ToolTip and CallTip classes; add documentation | |
| and tests. | |
| bpo-34047: Fix mouse wheel scrolling direction on macOS. | |
| bpo-34275: Make calltips always visible on Mac. | |
| Patch by Kevin Walzer. | |
| bpo-34120: Fix freezing after closing some dialogs on Mac. | |
| This is one of multiple regressions from using newer tcl/tk. | |
| bpo-33975: Avoid small type when running htests. | |
| Since part of the purpose of human-viewed tests is to determine that | |
| widgets look right, it is important that they look the same for | |
| testing as when running IDLE. | |
| bpo-33905: Add test for idlelib.stackview.StackBrowser. | |
| bpo-33924: Change mainmenu.menudefs key 'windows' to 'window'. | |
| Every other menudef key is the lowercase version of the | |
| corresponding main menu entry (in this case, 'Window'). | |
| bpo-33906: Rename idlelib.windows as window | |
| Match Window on the main menu and remove last plural module name. | |
| Change imports, test, and attribute references to match new name. | |
| bpo-33917: Fix and document idlelib/idle_test/template.py. | |
| The revised file compiles, runs, and tests OK. idle_test/README.txt | |
| explains how to use it to create new IDLE test files. | |
| bpo-33904: In rstrip module, rename class RstripExtension as Rstrip. | |
| bpo-33907: For consistency and clarity, rename calltip objects. | |
| Module calltips and its class CallTips are now calltip and Calltip. | |
| In module calltip_w, class CallTip is now CalltipWindow. | |
| bpo-33855: Minimally test all IDLE modules. | |
| Standardize the test file format. Add missing test files that import | |
| the tested module and perform at least one test. Check and record the | |
| coverage of each test. | |
| bpo-33856: Add 'help' to Shell's initial welcome message. | |
| What's New in IDLE 3.7.0 (since 3.6.0) | |
| Released on 2018-06-27 | |
| ====================================== | |
| bpo-33656: On Windows, add API call saying that tk scales for DPI. | |
| On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python | |
| binary unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this | |
| should make text and lines sharper and some colors brighter. | |
| On other systems, it should have no effect. If you have a custom theme, | |
| you may want to adjust a color or two. If perchance it make text worse | |
| on your monitor, you can disable the ctypes.OleDLL call near the top of | |
| pyshell.py and report the problem on python-list or idle-dev@python.org. | |
| bpo-33768: Clicking on a context line moves that line to the top | |
| of the editor window. | |
| bpo-33763: Replace the code context label widget with a text widget. | |
| bpo-33664: Scroll IDLE editor text by lines. | |
| (Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed | |
| number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor | |
| box.) This change also applies to the shell and grep output windows, | |
| but currently not to read-only text views. | |
| bpo-33679: Enable theme-specific color configuration for Code Context. | |
| (Previously, there was one code context foreground and background font | |
| color setting, default or custom, on the extensions tab, that applied | |
| to all themes.) For built-in themes, the foreground is the same as | |
| normal text and the background is a contrasting gray. Context colors for | |
| custom themes are set on the Hightlights tab along with other colors. | |
| When one starts IDLE from a console and loads a custom theme without | |
| definitions for 'context', one will see a warning message on the | |
| console. | |
| bpo-33642: Display up to maxlines non-blank lines for Code Context. | |
| If there is no current context, show a single blank line. (Previously, | |
| the Code Contex had numlines lines, usually with some blank.) The use | |
| of a new option, 'maxlines' (default 15), avoids possible interference | |
| with user settings of the old option, 'numlines' (default 3). | |
| bpo-33628: Cleanup codecontext.py and its test. | |
| bpo-32831: Add docstrings and tests for codecontext.py. | |
| Coverage is 100%. Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-33564: Code context now recognizes async as a block opener. | |
| bpo-21474: Update word/identifier definition from ascii to unicode. | |
| In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click, | |
| movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right | |
| by control-BACKSPACE/DEL. | |
| bpo-33204: Consistently color invalid string prefixes. | |
| A 'u' string prefix cannot be paired with either 'r' or 'f'. | |
| IDLE now consistently colors as much of the prefix, starting at the | |
| right, as is valid. Revise and extend colorizer test. | |
| bpo-32984: Set __file__ while running a startup file. | |
| Like Python, IDLE optionally runs 1 startup file in the Shell window | |
| before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE, | |
| option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or | |
| PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup | |
| file name before running the file and unsets it before the first | |
| prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n | |
| option. | |
| bpo-32940: Replace StringTranslatePseudoMapping with faster code. | |
| bpo-32916: Change 'str' to 'code' in idlelib.pyparse and users. | |
| bpo-32905: Remove unused code in pyparse module. | |
| bpo-32874: IDLE - add pyparse tests with 97% coverage. | |
| bpo-32837: IDLE - require encoding argument for textview.view_file. | |
| Using the system and place-dependent default encoding for open() | |
| is a bad idea for IDLE's system and location-independent files. | |
| bpo-32826: Add "encoding=utf-8" to open() in IDLE's test_help_about. | |
| GUI test test_file_buttons() only looks at initial ascii-only lines, | |
| but failed on systems where open() defaults to 'ascii' because | |
| readline() internally reads and decodes far enough ahead to encounter | |
| a non-ascii character in CREDITS.txt. | |
| bpo-32765: Update configdialog General tab create page docstring. | |
| Add new widgets to the widget list. | |
| bpo-32207: Improve tk event exception tracebacks in IDLE. | |
| When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing | |
| and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added | |
| to tk event exception tracebacks. The traceback is now the same | |
| as when event handling is driven by user code. Patch based on | |
| a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka. | |
| bpo-32164: Delete unused file idlelib/tabbedpages.py. | |
| Use of TabbedPageSet in configdialog was replaced by ttk.Notebook. | |
| bpo-32100: Fix old and new bugs in pathbrowser; improve tests. | |
| Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31860: The font sample in the settings dialog is now editable. | |
| Edits persist while IDLE remains open. | |
| Patch by Serhiy Storchake and Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-31858: Restrict shell prompt manipulation to the shell. | |
| Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line. This | |
| simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted. | |
| Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-28603: Fix a TypeError that caused a shell restart when printing | |
| a traceback that includes an exception that is unhashable. | |
| Patch by Zane Bitter. | |
| bpo-13802: Use non-Latin characters in the Font settings sample. | |
| Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode | |
| Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a | |
| character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters | |
| a better idea of what they might see in the shell and editors. | |
| To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are | |
| re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy | |
| bpo-31460: Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser. | |
| Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the | |
| option of creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. | |
| Passing a full file name instead of pieces assumed to come from a | |
| .py file opens the possibility of browsing python files that do not | |
| end in .py. | |
| bpo-31649: Make _htest and _utest parameters keyword-only. | |
| These are used to adjust code for human and unit tests. | |
| bpo-31459: Rename module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser. | |
| The original module-level class and method browser became a module | |
| browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago. | |
| Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back- | |
| compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which | |
| appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-1612262: Module browser now shows nested classes and functions. | |
| Original patches for code and tests by Guilherme Polo and | |
| Cheryl Sabella, respectively. Revisions by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-31500: Tk's default fonts now are scaled on HiDPI displays. | |
| This affects all dialogs. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka. | |
| bpo-31493: Fix code context update and font update timers. | |
| Canceling timers prevents a warning message when test_idle completes. | |
| bpo-31488: Update non-key options in former extension classes. | |
| When applying configdialog changes, call .reload for each feature class. | |
| Change ParenMatch so updated options affect existing instances attached | |
| to existing editor windows. | |
| bpo-31477: Improve rstrip entry in IDLE doc. | |
| Strip Trailing Whitespace strips more than blank spaces. | |
| Multiline string literals are not skipped. | |
| bpo-31480: fix tests to pass with zzdummy extension disabled. (#3590) | |
| To see the example in action, enable it on options extensions tab. | |
| bpo-31421: Document how IDLE runs tkinter programs. | |
| IDLE calls tcl/tk update in the background in order to make live | |
| interaction and experimentation with tkinter applications much easier. | |
| bpo-31414: Fix tk entry box tests by deleting first. | |
| Adding to an int entry is not the same as deleting and inserting | |
| because int('') will fail. Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-27099: Convert IDLE's built-in 'extensions' to regular features. | |
| About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional | |
| extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for | |
| users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion. | |
| The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings | |
| for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding | |
| in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are | |
| defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config- | |
| extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config- | |
| extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok. | |
| The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', | |
| '<<expand-word>>', '<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', | |
| '<<format-paragraph>>', '<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and | |
| '<<zoom-height>>'. Any (global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will | |
| not affect their keyset-specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice | |
| versa. | |
| Initial patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-31051: Rearrange condigdialog General tab. | |
| Sort non-Help options into Window (Shell+Editor) and Editor (only). | |
| Leave room for the addition of new options. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-30617: Add docstrings and tests for outwin subclass of editor. | |
| Move some data and functions from the class to module level. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31287: Do not modify tkinter.messagebox in test_configdialog. | |
| Instead, mask it with an instance mock that can be deleted. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-30781: Use ttk widgets in ConfigDialog pages. | |
| These should especially look better on MacOSX. | |
| Patches by Terry Jan Reedy and Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31206: Factor HighPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bp0-31001: Add tests for configdialog highlight tab. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31205: Factor KeysPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. | |
| The slightly modified tests continue to pass. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31002: Add tests for configdialog keys tab. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-19903: Change calltipes to use inspect.signature. | |
| Idlelib.calltips.get_argspec now uses inspect.signature instead of | |
| inspect.getfullargspec, like help() does. This improves the signature | |
| in the call tip in a few different cases, including builtins converted | |
| to provide a signature. A message is added if the object is not | |
| callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only | |
| parameters. Patch by Louie Lu. | |
| bop-31083: Add an outline of a TabPage class in configdialog. | |
| Add template as comment. Update existing classes to match outline. | |
| Initial patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31050: Factor GenPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. | |
| The slightly modified tests for the General tab continue to pass. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-31004: Factor FontPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. | |
| The slightly modified tests continue to pass. The General test | |
| broken by the switch to ttk.Notebook is fixed. | |
| Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-30781: IDLE - Use ttk Notebook in ConfigDialog. | |
| This improves navigation by tabbing. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-31060: IDLE - Finish rearranging methods of ConfigDialog. | |
| Grouping methods pertaining to each tab and the buttons will aid | |
| writing tests and improving the tabs and will enable splitting the | |
| groups into classes. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-30853: IDLE -- Factor a VarTrace class out of ConfigDialog. | |
| Instance tracers manages pairs consisting of a tk variable and a | |
| callback function. When tracing is turned on, setting the variable | |
| calls the function. Test coverage for the new class is 100%. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-31003: IDLE: Add more tests for General tab. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-30993: IDLE - Improve configdialog font page and tests. | |
| *In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab | |
| docstring. Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to | |
| var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella). Move related functions to | |
| positions after the create widgets function. | |
| * In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent. Fix | |
| renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget. Adjust tests for | |
| movement of set_samples call. Add tests for load functions. Put all | |
| font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another. Except for | |
| two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions. | |
| Patch by Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-30981: IDLE -- Add more configdialog font page tests. | |
| bpo-28523: IDLE: replace 'colour' with 'color' in configdialog. | |
| bpo-30917: Add tests for idlelib.config.IdleConf. | |
| Increase coverage from 46% to 96%. | |
| Patch by Louie Lu. | |
| bpo-30913: Document ConfigDialog tk Vars, methods, and widgets in docstrings | |
| This will facilitate improving the dialog and splitting up the class. | |
| Original patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-30899: Add tests for ConfigParser subclasses in config. | |
| Coverage is 100% for those classes and ConfigChanges. | |
| Patch by Louie Lu. | |
| bpo-30881: Add docstrings to browser.py. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-30851: Remove unused tk variables in configdialog. | |
| One is a duplicate, one is set but cannot be altered by users. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-30870: Select font option with Up and Down keys, as well as with mouse. | |
| Added test increases configdialog coverage to 60% | |
| Patches mostly by Louie Lu. | |
| bpo-8231: Call config.IdleConf.GetUserCfgDir only once per process. | |
| bpo-30779: Factor ConfigChanges class from configdialog, put in config; test. | |
| * In config, put dump test code in a function; run it and unittest in | |
| 'if __name__ == '__main__'. | |
| * Add class config.ConfigChanges based on changes_class_v4.py on bpo issue. | |
| * Add class test_config.ChangesTest, partly using configdialog_tests_v1.py. | |
| * Revise configdialog to use ConfigChanges; see tracker msg297804. | |
| * Revise test_configdialog to match configdialog changes. | |
| * Remove configdialog functions unused or moved to ConfigChanges. | |
| Cheryl Sabella contributed parts of the patch. | |
| bpo-30777: Configdialog - add docstrings and improve comments. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-30495: Improve textview with docstrings, PEP8 names, and more tests. | |
| Split TextViewer class into ViewWindow, ViewFrame, and TextFrame classes | |
| so that instances of the latter two can be placed with other widgets | |
| within a multiframe window. | |
| Patches by Cheryl Sabella and Terry Jan Reedy. | |
| bpo-30723: Make several improvements to parenmatch. | |
| * Add 'parens' style to highlight both opener and closer. | |
| * Make 'default' style, which is not default, a synonym for 'opener'. | |
| * Make time-delay work the same with all styles. | |
| * Add help for config dialog extensions tab, including parenmatch. | |
| * Add new tests. | |
| Original patch by Charles Wohlganger. Revisions by Terry Jan Reedy | |
| bpo-30674: Grep -- Add docstrings. Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-21519: IDLE's basic custom key entry dialog now detects | |
| duplicates properly. Original patch by Saimadhav Heblikar. | |
| bpo-29910: IDLE no longer deletes a character after commenting out a | |
| region by a key shortcut. Add "return 'break'" for this and other | |
| potential conflicts between IDLE and default key bindings. | |
| Patch by Serhiy Storchaka. | |
| bpo-30728: Modernize idlelib.configdialog: | |
| * replace import * with specific imports; | |
| * lowercase method and attribute lines. | |
| Patch by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| bpo-6739: Verify user-entered key sequences by trying to bind them | |
| with to a tk widget. Add tests for all 3 validation functions. | |
| Original patch by G Polo. Tests added by Cheryl Sabella. | |
| Code revised and more tests added by Terry Jan Reedy | |
| bpo-24813: Add icon to help_about and make other changes. | |
| bpo-15786: Fix several problems with IDLE's autocompletion box. | |
| The following should now work: clicking on selection box items; | |
| using the scrollbar; selecting an item by hitting Return. | |
| Hangs on MacOSX should no longer happen. Patch by Louie Lu. | |
| bpo-25514: Add doc subsubsection about IDLE failure to start. | |
| Popup no-connection message directs users to this section. | |

| - Add version to title of IDLE help window. | |
| - Issue #25564: In section on IDLE -- console differences, mention that | |
| using exec means that __builtins__ is defined for each statement. | |
| - Issue #27821: Fix 3.6.0a3 regression that prevented custom key sets | |
| from being selected when no custom theme was defined. | |
| - Issue #27714: text_textview and test_autocomplete now pass when re-run | |
| in the same process. This occurs when test_idle fails when run with the | |
| -w option but without -jn. Fix warning from test_config. | |
| - Issue #27621: Put query response validation error messages in the query | |
| box itself instead of in a separate messagebox. Redo tests to match. | |
| Add Mac OSX refinements. Original patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #27620: Escape key now closes Query box as cancelled. | |
| - Issue #27609: IDLE: tab after initial whitespace should tab, not | |
| autocomplete. This fixes problem with writing docstrings at least | |
| twice indented. | |
| - Issue #27609: Explicitly return None when there are also non-None | |
| returns. In a few cases, reverse a condition and eliminate a return. | |
| - Issue #25507: IDLE no longer runs buggy code because of its tkinter imports. | |
| Users must include the same imports required to run directly in Python. | |
| - Issue #27173: Add 'IDLE Modern Unix' to the built-in key sets. | |
| Make the default key set depend on the platform. | |
| Add tests for the changes to the config module. | |

| - Issue #27452: add line counter and crc to IDLE configHandler test dump. | |
| - Issue #27380: IDLE: add query.py with base Query dialog and ttk widgets. | |
| Module had subclasses SectionName, ModuleName, and HelpSource, which are | |
| used to get information from users by configdialog and file =>Load Module. | |
| Each subclass has itw own validity checks. Using ModuleName allows users | |
| to edit bad module names instead of starting over. | |
| Add tests and delete the two files combined into the new one. | |
| - Issue #27372: Test_idle no longer changes the locale. | |
| - Issue #27365: Allow non-ascii chars in IDLE NEWS.txt, for contributor names. | |
| - Issue #27245: IDLE: Cleanly delete custom themes and key bindings. | |
| Previously, when IDLE was started from a console or by import, a cascade | |
| of warnings was emitted. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka. | |
| - Issue #24137: Run IDLE, test_idle, and htest with tkinter default root disabled. | |
| Fix code and tests that fail with this restriction. | |
| Fix htests to not create a second and redundant root and mainloop. | |
| - Issue #27310: Fix IDLE.app failure to launch on OS X due to vestigial import. | |
| - Issue #5124: Paste with text selected now replaces the selection on X11. | |

| - Issue #27262: move Aqua unbinding code, which enable context menus, to macosx. | |
| - Issue #24759: Make clear in idlelib.idle_test.__init__ that the directory | |
| is a private implementation of test.test_idle and tool for maintainers. | |
| - Issue #27196: Stop 'ThemeChanged' warnings when running IDLE tests. | |
| These persisted after other warnings were suppressed in #20567. | |
| Apply Serhiy Storchaka's update_idletasks solution to four test files. | |
| Record this additional advice in idle_test/README.txt | |
| - Issue #20567: Revise idle_test/README.txt with advice about avoiding | |
| tk warning messages from tests. Apply advice to several IDLE tests. | |
| - Issue # 24225: Update idlelib/README.txt with new file names | |
| and event handlers. | |
| - Issue #27156: Remove obsolete code not used by IDLE. Replacements: | |
| 1. help.txt, replaced by help.html, is out-of-date and should not be used. | |
| Its dedicated viewer has be replaced by the html viewer in help.py. | |
| 2. 'import idlever; I = idlever.IDLE_VERSION' is the same as | |
| 'import sys; I = version[:version.index(' ')]' | |
| 3. After 'ob = stackviewer.VariablesTreeItem(*args)', | |
| 'ob.keys()' == 'list(ob.object.keys). | |
| 4. In macosc, runningAsOSXAPP == isAquaTk; idCarbonAquaTk == isCarbonTk | |
| - Issue #27117: Make colorizer htest and turtledemo work with dark themes. | |
| Move code for configuring text widget colors to a new function. | |
| - Issue #24225: Rename many idlelib/*.py and idle_test/test_*.py files. | |
| Edit files to replace old names with new names when the old name | |
| referred to the module rather than the class it contained. | |
| See the issue and IDLE section in What's New in 3.6 for more. | |
| - Issue #26673: When tk reports font size as 0, change to size 10. | |
| Such fonts on Linux prevented the configuration dialog from opening. | |
| - Issue #21939: Add test for IDLE's percolator. | |
| Original patch by Saimadhav Heblikar. | |
| - Issue #21676: Add test for IDLE's replace dialog. | |
| Original patch by Saimadhav Heblikar. | |
| - Issue #18410: Add test for IDLE's search dialog. | |
| Original patch by Westley Martínez. | |
| - Issue #21703: Add test for undo delegator. Patch mostly by | |
| Saimadhav Heblikar . | |
| - Issue #27044: Add ConfigDialog.remove_var_callbacks to stop memory leaks. | |
| - Issue #23977: Add more asserts to test_delegator. | |
| - Issue #20640: Add tests for idlelib.configHelpSourceEdit. | |
| Patch by Saimadhav Heblikar. | |
| - In the 'IDLE-console differences' section of the IDLE doc, clarify | |
| how running with IDLE affects sys.modules and the standard streams. | |
| - Issue #25507: fix incorrect change in IOBinding that prevented printing. | |
| Augment IOBinding htest to include all major IOBinding functions. | |
| - Issue #25905: Revert unwanted conversion of ' to ’ RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION | |
| MARK in README.txt and open this and NEWS.txt with 'ascii'. | |
| Re-encode CREDITS.txt to utf-8 and open it with 'utf-8'. | |
| - Issue 15348: Stop the debugger engine (normally in a user process) | |
| before closing the debugger window (running in the IDLE process). | |
| This prevents the RuntimeErrors that were being caught and ignored. | |
| - Issue #24455: Prevent IDLE from hanging when a) closing the shell while the | |
| debugger is active (15347); b) closing the debugger with the [X] button | |
| (15348); and c) activating the debugger when already active (24455). | |
| The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes. | |
| 1. Suspend and resume the gui.interaction method with the tcl vwait | |
| mechanism intended for this purpose (instead of root.mainloop & .quit). | |
| 2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first. | |
| - Change 'The program' to 'Your program' in an IDLE 'kill program?' message | |
| to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running | |
| user program, not IDLE itself. | |
| - Issue #24750: Improve the appearance of the IDLE editor window status bar. | |
| Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #25313: Change the handling of new built-in text color themes to better | |
| address the compatibility problem introduced by the addition of IDLE Dark. | |
| Consistently use the revised idleConf.CurrentTheme everywhere in idlelib. | |
| - Issue #24782: Extension configuration is now a tab in the IDLE Preferences | |
| dialog rather than a separate dialog. The former tabs are now a sorted | |
| list. Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #22726: Re-activate the config dialog help button with some content | |
| about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme. | |
| - Issue #24820: IDLE now has an 'IDLE Dark' built-in text color theme. | |
| It is more or less IDLE Classic inverted, with a cobalt blue background. | |
| Strings, comments, keywords, ... are still green, red, orange, ... . | |
| To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the | |
| 'Save as New Custom Theme' button and enter a new name, | |
| such as 'Custom Dark'. The custom theme will work with any IDLE | |
| release, and can be modified. | |
| - Issue #25224: README.txt is now an idlelib index for IDLE developers and | |
| curious users. The previous user content is now in the IDLE doc chapter. | |
| 'IDLE' now means 'Integrated Development and Learning Environment'. | |
| - Issue #24820: Users can now set breakpoint colors in | |
| Settings -> Custom Highlighting. Original patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #24972: Inactive selection background now matches active selection | |
| background, as configured by users, on all systems. Found items are now | |
| always highlighted on Windows. Initial patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #24570: Idle: make calltip and completion boxes appear on Macs | |
| affected by a tk regression. Initial patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #24988: Idle ScrolledList context menus (used in debugger) | |
| now work on Mac Aqua. Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #24801: Make right-click for context menu work on Mac Aqua. | |
| Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #25173: Associate tkinter messageboxes with a specific widget. | |
| For Mac OSX, make them a 'sheet'. Patch by Mark Roseman. | |
| - Issue #25198: Enhance the initial html viewer now used for Idle Help. | |
| * Properly indent fixed-pitch text (patch by Mark Roseman). | |
| * Give code snippet a very Sphinx-like light blueish-gray background. | |
| * Re-use initial width and height set by users for shell and editor. | |
