18 * ChangeLog, EditorWindow.py, INSTALLATION, NEWS.txt, README.txt,
19 TODO.txt, idlever.py:
20 minor tidy-ups ready for 0.8.1 alpha tarball release
21
222001-07-17 15:12 kbk
23
24 * INSTALLATION, setup.py: INSTALLATION: Remove the coexist.patch
25 instructions
26
27 **************** setup.py:
28
29 Remove the idles script, add some words on IDLE Fork to the
30 long_description, and clean up some line spacing.
31
322001-07-17 15:01 kbk
33
34 * coexist.patch: Put this in the attic, at least for now...
35
362001-07-17 14:59 kbk
37
38 * PyShell.py, idle, idles: Implement idle command interface as
39 suggested by GvR [idle-dev] 16 July **************** PyShell: Added
40 functionality:
41
42 usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title]
43 [arg] ...
44
45 idle file(s) (without options) edit the file(s)
46
47 -c cmd run the command in a shell -d enable the
48 debugger -i open an interactive shell -i file(s) open a
49 shell and also an editor window for each file -r script run a file
50 as a script in a shell -s run $IDLESTARTUP or
51 $PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else -t title set title of shell
52 window
53
54 Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).
55
56 ****************** idles: Removed the idles script, not needed
57
58 ****************** idle: Removed the IdleConf references, not
59 required anymore
60
612001-07-16 17:08 kbk
62
63 * INSTALLATION, coexist.patch: Added installation instructions.
64
65 Added a patch which modifies idlefork so that it can co-exist with
66 "official" IDLE in the site-packages directory. This patch is not
67 necessary if only idlefork IDLE is installed. See INSTALLATION for
68 further details.
69
702001-07-16 15:50 kbk
71
72 * idles: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python Shell window.
73
74 The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
75 instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
76 environment by selecting "run". There are times, however, when a
77 shell is desired. Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
78 this script is more convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor
79 window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
80
812001-07-16 15:25 kbk
82
83 * PyShell.py: Call out IDLE Fork in startup message.
84
852001-07-16 14:00 kbk
86
87 * PyShell.py, setup.py: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python
88 Shell window.
89
90 The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
91 instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
92 environment by selecting "run". There are times, however, when a
93 shell is desired. Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
94 this script is more convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor
95 window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
96
972001-07-15 03:06 kbk
98
99 * pyclbr.py, tabnanny.py: tabnanny and pyclbr are now found in /Lib
100
1012001-07-15 02:29 kbk
102
103 * BrowserControl.py: Remove, was retained for 1.5.2 support
104
1052001-07-14 15:48 kbk
106
107 * setup.py: Installing Idle to site-packages via Distutils does not
108 copy the Idle help.txt file.
109
110 Ref SF Python Patch 422471
111
1122001-07-14 15:26 kbk
113
114 * keydefs.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.3) merge
115
116 "Make copy, cut and paste events case insensitive. Reported by
117 Patrick K. O'Brien on idle-dev. (Should other bindings follow
118 suit?)" --GvR
119
1202001-07-14 15:21 kbk
121
122 * idle.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
123
124 "Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
125 module rather than the idle.py script. This has advantages and
126 disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
127 have an alternative main program." --GvR
128
1292001-07-14 15:18 kbk
130
131 * extend.txt: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
132
133 "Quick update to the extension mechanism (extend.py is gone, long
134 live config.txt)" --GvR
135
1362001-07-14 15:15 kbk
137
138 * StackViewer.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.16) merge
139
140 "Refactored, with some future plans in mind. This now uses the new
141 gotofileline() method defined in FileList.py" --GvR
142
1432001-07-14 15:10 kbk
144
145 * PyShell.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.34) merge
146
147 "Amazing. A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually
148 found a bug here. Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from
149 class OutputWindow. Method PyShell.close() wants to invoke its
150 parent method, but because PyShell long ago was inherited from
151 class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes
152 PyShelEditorWindow.close(self). Now, class PyShellEditorWindow
153 itself derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close()
154 method from there without overriding it. Under the old rules,
155 PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted
156 to the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was
157 OutputWindow.close. Under the new rules, the unbound method is
158 restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is
159 PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error."
160 --GvR
161
1622001-07-14 14:59 kbk
163
164 * PyParse.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.9) merge
165
166 "Taught IDLE's autoident parser that "yield" is a keyword that
167 begins a stmt. Along w/ the preceding change to keyword.py, making
168 all this work w/ a future-stmt just looks harder and harder."
169 --tim_one
170
171 (From Rel 1.8: "Hack to make this still work with Python 1.5.2.
172 ;-( " --fdrake)
173
1742001-07-14 14:51 kbk
175
176 * IdleConf.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.7) merge
177
178 "Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
179 module rather than the idle.py script. This has advantages and
180 disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
181 have an alternative main program." --GvR
182
1832001-07-14 14:45 kbk
184
185 * FileList.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.9) merge
186
187 "Delete goodname() method, which is unused. Add gotofileline(), a
188 convenience method which I intend to use in a variant. Rename
189 test() to _test()." --GvR
190
191 This was an interesting merge. The join completely missed removing
192 goodname(), which was adjacent, but outside of, a small conflict.
193 I only caught it by comparing the 1.1.3.2/1.1.3.3 diff. CVS ain't
194 infallible.
195
1962001-07-14 13:58 kbk
197
198 * EditorWindow.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.38) merge "Remove
199 legacy support for the BrowserControl module; the webbrowser module
200 has been included since Python 2.0, and that is the preferred
201 interface." --fdrake
202
2032001-07-14 13:32 kbk
204
205 * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py, IdleConf.py, PyParse.py,
206 PyShell.py, StackViewer.py, extend.txt, idle.py, keydefs.py: Import
207 the 2001 July 13 23:59 GMT version of Python CVS IDLE on the
208 existing 1.1.3 vendor branch named py-cvs-vendor-branch. Release
209 tag is py-cvs-2001_07_13.

316
317 VP IDLE version depended on VP's ExecBinding.py and spawn.py to get
318 the path to the Windows Doc directory (relative to python.exe).
319 Removed this conflicting code in favor of py-cvs updates which on
320 Windows use a hard coded path relative to the location of this
321 module. py-cvs updates include support for webbrowser.py. Module
322 still has BrowserControl.py for 1.5.2 support.
323
324 At this point, the differences wrt py-cvs relate to menu
325 functionality.

502
5032000-09-24 17:29 nriley
504
505 * protocol.py: Fixes for Python 1.6 compatibility - socket bind and
506 connect get a tuple instead two arguments.
507
5082000-09-24 17:28 nriley
509
510 * spawn.py: Change for Python 1.6 compatibility - UNIX's 'os'
511 module defines 'spawnv' now, so we check for 'fork' first.

David Scherer7aced172000-08-15 01:13:23 +0000571Tue Feb 15 18:08:19 2000 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
572
573 * NEWS.txt: Notice status bar and stack viewer.
574
575 * EditorWindow.py: Support for Moshe's status bar.
576
577 * MultiStatusBar.py: Status bar code -- by Moshe Zadka.
578
579 * OldStackViewer.py:
580 Adding the old stack viewer implementation back, for the debugger.
581
582 * StackViewer.py: New stack viewer, uses a tree widget.
583 (XXX: the debugger doesn't yet use this.)
584
585 * WindowList.py:
586 Correct a typo and remove an unqualified except that was hiding the error.
587
588 * ClassBrowser.py: Add an XXX comment about the ClassBrowser AIP.
589
590 * ChangeLog: Updated change log.
591
592 * NEWS.txt: News update. Probably incomplete; what else is new?
593
594 * README.txt:
595 Updated for pending IDLE 0.5 release (still very rough -- just getting
596 it out in a more convenient format than CVS).
597
598 * TODO.txt: Tiny addition.
599
600Thu Sep 9 14:16:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
601
602 * TODO.txt: A few new TODO entries.
603
604Thu Aug 26 23:06:22 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
605
606 * Bindings.py: Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu.
607
608 * EditorWindow.py:
609 Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
610 (Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)
611
612 Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
613 to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
614 location can't be predicted). Windows solution TBD.
615
616Wed Aug 11 14:55:43 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
617
618 * TreeWidget.py:
619 Moshe noticed an inconsistency in his comment, so I'm rephrasing it to
620 be clearer.
621
622 * TreeWidget.py:
623 Patch inspired by Moshe Zadka to search for the Icons directory in the
624 same directory as __file__, rather than searching for it along sys.path.
625 This works better when idle is a package.
626
627Thu Jul 15 13:11:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
628
629 * TODO.txt: New wishes.
630
631Sat Jul 10 13:17:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
632
633 * IdlePrefs.py:
634 Make the color for stderr red (i.e. the standard warning/danger/stop
635 color) rather than green. Suggested by Sam Schulenburg.
636
637Fri Jun 25 17:26:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
638
639 * PyShell.py: Close debugger when closing. This may break a cycle.
640
641 * Debugger.py: Break cycle on close.
642
643 * ClassBrowser.py: Destroy the tree when closing.
644
645 * TreeWidget.py: Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree.
646
647 * PyShell.py: Extend _close() to break cycles.
648 Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).
649
650 * EditorWindow.py:
651 Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the
652 user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).
653 It closes more than before.
654
655 Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
656 _close(). It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.
657
658 * Percolator.py: Add close() method that breaks cycles.
659
660 * WidgetRedirector.py: Add unregister() method.
661 Unregister everything at closing.
662 Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().
663
664 * IOBinding.py, FormatParagraph.py, CallTips.py:
665 Add close() method that breaks a cycle.
666
667Fri Jun 11 15:03:00 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
668
669 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py:
670 Tim Peters smart.patch:
671
672 EditorWindow.py:
673
674 + Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
675 widget's view of what a tab means.
676
677 + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.
678
679 + Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
680 but the name was plain wrong <wink>).
681
682 FormatParagraph.py: renamed use of get_selection_index.
683
684 AutoIndent.py:
685
686 + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.
687
688 + Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.
689
690 + Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
691 preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
692 inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).
693
694 + Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
695 get_selection_indices. The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
696 "set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.
697
698 + Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
699 cmd.
700
701Thu Jun 10 17:48:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
702
703 * FormatParagraph.py:
704 Code by Mark Hammond to format paragraphs embedded in comments.
705 Read the comments (which I reformatted using the new feature :-)
706 for some limitations.
707
708 * EditorWindow.py:
709 Added abstraction get_selection_index() (Mark Hammond). Also
710 reformatted some comment blocks to show off a cool feature I'm about
711 to check in next.
712
713 * ClassBrowser.py:
714 Adapt to the new pyclbr's support of listing top-level functions. If
715 this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
716 Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.
717
718 (Hmm... Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
719 of the new pyclbr.py!)
720
721 * AutoIndent.py:
722 Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the
723 list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the
724 end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be
725 commented out!
726
727 * CallTips.py:
728 Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for
729 class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function. Also updated
730 the test code to reflect your new "***" change.
731
732 * CallTipWindow.py:
733 Mark Hammond writes: Tim's suggestion of copying the font for the
734 CallTipWindow from the text control makes sense, and actually makes
735 the control look better IMO.
736
737Wed Jun 9 20:34:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
738
739 * CallTips.py:
740 Append "..." if the appropriate flag (for varargs) in co_flags is set.
741 Ditto "***" for kwargs.
742
743Tue Jun 8 13:06:07 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
744
745 * ReplaceDialog.py:
746 Hmm... Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block.
747 I think I like it better if it os, so here.
748
749 * ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo.
750
751 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters:
752
753 + Set usetabs=1. Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.
754 usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=
755 tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs
756 turned off. The only implication is that if you open a file whose first
757 indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and
758 set indentwidth to 8). Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for
759 PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark
760 probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).
761
762 + Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line. The
763 "holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it
764 needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).
765
766Mon Jun 7 15:38:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
767
768 * TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py:
769 Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code.
770
771 * PyParse.py: Tim Peters:
772
773 Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.
774
775 Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,
776 but makes more breathing room for other extensions.
777
778 Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put
779 """ at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start
780 typing in code. Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some
781 large fraction of a second. The new code gets indented correctly, despite
782 that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after
783 which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).
784
785Fri Jun 4 19:21:19 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
786
787 * extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default.
788 If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it.
789
790Thu Jun 3 14:32:16 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
791
792 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py:
793 New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes:
794
795 IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
796 doctest.py <wink>.
797
798 As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
799 method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in
800 whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
801 EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.
802
803 * GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message.
804
805 * CallTips.py:
806 Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is
807 constructed.
808
809Wed Jun 2 18:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
810
811 * CallTips.py:
812 My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>.
813 Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>.
814
815 * CallTips.py:
816 A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup. Has some newer
817 stuff for getting the tip. Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events
818 for Unix. Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and
819 ButtonRelease events.
820
821 * CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py:
822 Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.)
823
824 * IdleHistory.py:
825 Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to
826 the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves
827 in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items.
828
829 * AutoIndent.py:
830 Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
831 well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
832
833 * EditorWindow.py:
834 Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
835 well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
836
837Tue Jun 1 20:06:44 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
838
839 * AutoIndent.py: Hah! A fix of my own to Tim's code!
840 Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were
841 missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,
842 even though they were in the menu. The new Unix bindings are now
843 the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).
844
845 * AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again:
846
847 The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module
848 I have <whew!>. You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with
849 5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then
850 adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on
851 my P5-166. Response time in real code appears instantaneous.
852
853 Fixed some bugs.
854
855 New feature: when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading
856 indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before
857 whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is
858 between the comma and the space:
859
860 def something(arg1, arg2):
861 ^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER
862 arg2): # new line used to end up here
863 arg2): # but now lines up the way you expect
864
865 New hack: AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,
866 defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell. Reason: handling
867 the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1
868 lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a
869 bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module
870 docstrings often). PythonWin's shell should set this true too.
871
872 Persistent problem: strings containing def/class can still screw things up
873 completely. No improvement. Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and
874 consists of inserting e.g.
875
876 def _(): pass
877
878 (or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's
879 screwing them up. This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring
880 is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the
881 indentation behavior they see.
882
883 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters again:
884
885 [Tim, after adding some bracket smarts to AutoIndent.py]
886 > ...
887 > What it can't possibly do without reparsing large gobs of text is
888 > suggest a reasonable indent level after you've *closed* a bracket
889 > left open on some previous line.
890 > ...
891
892 The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time. The
893 code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g.,
894
895 return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start :
896 ^ indents to caret
897 i],
898 ^ indents to caret
899 self.tabwidth)) + 1
900 ^ indents to caret
901
902 It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash
903 continuation rules. It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it
904 happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1
905 buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to
906 see the start of the string, it's completely hosed. I can't repair that --
907 it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time.
908
909 AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls
910 how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made
911 user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly.
912
913 * PyParse.py: New file by Tim Peters:
914
915 One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was
916 called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its
917 functionality.
918
919 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters keeps revising this module (more to come):
920
921 Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding.
922
923 Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify. I
924 think prompting for this is good now: they're usually at-most-once-per-file
925 commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default
926 anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means.
927
928 Irony: for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's
929 non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc
930 approach.
931
932 * EditorWindow.py:
933 1. Catch NameError on import (could be raised by case mismatch on Windows).
934 2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling
935 ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget
936 takes care of the watch cursor.
937 3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class
938 browser on buffer without filename.
939
940 * Icons/minusnode.gif, Icons/plusnode.gif: Missed a few.
941
942 * ClassBrowser.py, PathBrowser.py: Rewritten based on TreeWidget.py
943
944 * ObjectBrowser.py: Object browser, based on TreeWidget.py.
945
946 * TreeWidget.py: Tree widget done right.
947
948 * ToolTip.py: As yet unused code for tool tips.
949
950 * ScriptBinding.py:
951 Ensure sys.argv[0] is the script name on Run Script.
952
953 * ZoomHeight.py: Move zoom height functionality to separate function.
954
955 * Icons/folder.gif, Icons/openfolder.gif, Icons/python.gif, Icons/tk.gif:
956 A few icons used by ../TreeWidget.py and its callers.
957
958 * AutoIndent.py: New version by Tim Peters improves block opening test.
959
960Fri May 21 04:46:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
961
962 * Attic/History.py, PyShell.py: Rename History to IdleHistory.
963 Add isatty() to pseudo files.
964
965 * StackViewer.py: Make initial stack viewer wider
966
967 * TODO.txt: New wishes
968
969 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py:
970 Much improved autoindent and handling of tabs,
971 by Tim Peters.
972
973Mon May 3 15:49:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
974
975 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py, UndoDelegator.py:
976 Tim Peters writes:
977
978 I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a
979 different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in
980 EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better
981 idea?
982
983 Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think
984 you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,
985 including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and
986 backspacing.

988 * WidgetRedirector.py: Tim Peters writes:
989
990 [W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two
991 possible glitches. In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to
992 rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name
993 "previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>.
994
995Fri Apr 30 19:39:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
996
997 * __init__.py: Support for using idle as a package.
998
999 * PathBrowser.py:
1000 Avoid listing files more than once (e.g. foomodule.so has two hits:
1001 once for foo + module.so, once for foomodule + .so).
1002
1003Mon Apr 26 22:20:38 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1004
1005 * ChangeLog, ColorDelegator.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters strikes again:
1006
1007 Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded! The colorizer is working with
1008 "line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of
1009 the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of
1010 baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a
1011 backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>).
1012
1013 Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick. CPU usage goes way up when
1014 typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for
1015 me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine). Most of the
1016 changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me
1017 reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to
1018
1019Fri Apr 23 14:01:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1020
1021 * EditorWindow.py:
1022 Provide full arguments to __import__ so it works in packagized IDLE.
1023
1024Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1025
1026 * help.txt:
1027 Bunch of updates necessary due to recent changes; added docs for File
1028 menu, command line and color preferences.
1029
1030 * Bindings.py: Remove obsolete 'script' menu.
1031
1032 * TODO.txt: Several wishes fulfilled.
1033
1034 * OutputWindow.py:
1035 Moved classes OnDemandOutputWindow and PseudoFile here,
1036 from ScriptBinding.py where they are no longer needed.
1037
1038 * ScriptBinding.py:
1039 Mostly rewritten. Instead of the old Run module and Debug module,
1040 there are two new commands:
1041
1042 Import module (F5) imports or reloads the module and also adds its
1043 name to the __main__ namespace. This gets executed in the PyShell
1044 window under control of its debug settings.
1045
1046 Run script (Control-F5) is similar but executes the contents of the
1047 file directly in the __main__ namespace.
1048
1049 * PyShell.py: Nits: document use of $IDLESTARTUP; display idle version
1050
1051 * idlever.py: New version to celebrate new command line
1052
1053 * OutputWindow.py: Added flush(), for completeness.
1054
1055 * PyShell.py:
1056 A lot of changes to make the command line more useful. You can now do:
1057 idle.py -e file ... -- to edit files
1058 idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
1059 idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
1060 Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
1061 -d -- enable debugger
1062 -s -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
1063 -t title -- set Python Shell window's title
1064 sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
1065 sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.
1066
1067 Other changes:
1068 - the environment in which commands are executed is now the
1069 __main__ module
1070 - explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
1071 - new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
1072 - a few small nits
1073
1074 * TODO.txt:
1075 Some more TODO items. Made up my mind about command line args,
1076 Run/Import, __main__.
1077
1078 * ColorDelegator.py:
1079 Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
1080 dramatically (up to 15 times he claims). Works by reading more than
1081 one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
1082 then doubling up to the limit). On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
1083 P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
1084 way.
1085
1086Wed Apr 21 15:49:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1087
1088 * ColorDelegator.py:
1089 Patch by Tim Peters to speed up colorizing of big multiline strings.
1090
1091Tue Apr 20 17:32:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1092
1093 * extend.txt:
1094 For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
1095 foo_bar_event(). Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
1096 the example.
1097
1098 * IdlePrefs.py: Restored the original IDLE color scheme.
1099
1100 * PyShell.py, IdlePrefs.py, ColorDelegator.py, EditorWindow.py:
1101 Color preferences code by Loren Luke (massaged by me somewhat)
1102
1103 * SearchEngine.py:
1104 Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
1105 unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
1106 between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
1107 an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
1108 m.span() call).
1109
1110Mon Apr 19 16:26:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1111
1112 * TODO.txt: A few wishes are now fulfilled.
1113
1114 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
1115
1116 o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate
1117 (see Help list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from
1118 every other editor on earth <wink>).
1119
1120 o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old
1121 line (pymode and Codewright).
1122
1123 o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
1124 comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).
1125
1126 o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
1127 return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).
1128
1129 The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings &
1130 continuations, but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing
1131 functions to avoid that in finite time.

1137Wed Apr 7 18:41:59 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1138
1139 * README.txt, NEWS.txt: New version.
1140
1141 * idlever.py: Version bump awaiting impending new release.
1142 (Not much has changed :-( )
1143
1144Mon Mar 29 14:52:28 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1145
1146 * ScriptBinding.py, PyShell.py:
1147 At Tim Peters' recommendation, add a dummy flush() method to
1148 PseudoFile.
1149
1150Thu Mar 11 23:21:23 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1151
1152 * PathBrowser.py: Don't crash when sys.path contains an empty string.
1153
1154 * Attic/Outline.py: This file was never supposed to be part of IDLE.
1155
1156 * PathBrowser.py:
1157 - Don't crash in the case where a superclass is a string instead of a
1158 pyclbr.Class object; this can happen when the superclass is
1159 unrecognizable (to pyclbr), e.g. when module renaming is used.
1160
1161 - Show a watch cursor when calling pyclbr (since it may take a while
1162 recursively parsing imported modules!).
1163
1164Wed Mar 10 05:18:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1165
1166 * EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py: Add PathBrowser to File module
1167
1168 * PathBrowser.py: "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
1169 directories on sys.path
1170 modules in selected directory
1171 classes in selected module
1172 methods of selected class
1173
1174 Sinlge clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
1175 column with info about the selected item. Double clicking in a
1176 module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
1177 item if it is a class or method).
1178
1179 I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
1180 ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
1181 Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.
1182
1183 * MultiScrolledLists.py:
1184 New utility: multiple scrolled lists in parallel
1185
1186 * ScrolledList.py: - White background.
1187 - Display "(None)" (or text of your choosing) when empty.
1188 - Don't set the focus.
1189

1194Wed Feb 17 22:47:41 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1195
1196 * NEWS.txt: News in 0.3.
1197
1198 * README.txt, idlever.py: Bump version to 0.3.
1199
1200 * EditorWindow.py:
1201 After all, we don't need to call the callbacks ourselves!
1202
1203 * WindowList.py:
1204 When deleting, call the callbacks *after* deleting the window from our list!
1205
1206 * EditorWindow.py:
1207 Fix up the Windows menu via the new callback mechanism instead of
1208 depending on menu post commands (which don't work when the menu is
1209 torn off).
1210
1211 * WindowList.py:
1212 Support callbacks to patch up Windows menus everywhere.
1213
1214 * ChangeLog: Oh, why not. Checking in the Emacs-generated change log.
1215
1216Tue Feb 16 22:34:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1217
1218 * ScriptBinding.py:
1219 Only pop up the stack viewer when requested in the Debug menu.
1220
1221Mon Feb 8 22:27:49 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1222
1223 * WindowList.py: Don't crash if a window no longer exists.
1224
1225 * TODO.txt: Restructured a bit.
1226
1227Mon Feb 1 23:06:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1228
1229 * PyShell.py: Add current dir or paths of file args to sys.path.
1230
1231 * Debugger.py: Add canonic() function -- for brand new bdb.py feature.
1232
1233 * StackViewer.py: Protect against accessing an empty stack.
1234
1235Fri Jan 29 20:44:45 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1236
1237 * ZoomHeight.py:
1238 Use only the height to decide whether to zoom in or out.
1239
1240Thu Jan 28 22:24:30 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1241
1242 * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py:
1243 Make sure the Tcl variables are shared between windows.
1244
1245 * PyShell.py, EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
1246 Move menu/key binding code from Bindings.py to EditorWindow.py,
1247 with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
1248 Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
1249 a '!', it gets a checkbox. Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
1250 that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
1251 the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.
1252
1253 * Debugger.py: Add Quit button to the debugger window.
1254
1255 * SearchDialog.py:
1256 When find_again() finds exactly the current selection, it's a failure.
1257
1258 * idle.py, Attic/idle: Rename idle -> idle.py
1259
1260Mon Jan 18 15:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1261
1262 * EditorWindow.py, WindowList.py: Only deiconify when iconic.
1263
1264 * TODO.txt: Misc
1265
1266Tue Jan 12 22:14:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1267
1268 * testcode.py, Attic/test.py:
1269 Renamed test.py to testcode.py so one can import Python's
1270 test package from inside IDLE. (Suggested by Jack Jansen.)
1271
1272 * EditorWindow.py, ColorDelegator.py:
1273 Hack to close a window that is colorizing.
1274
1275 * Separator.py: Vladimir Marangozov's patch:
1276 The separator dances too much and seems to jump by arbitrary amounts
1277 in arbitrary directions when I try to move it for resizing the frames.
1278 This patch makes it more quiet.
1279
1280Mon Jan 11 14:52:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1281
1282 * TODO.txt: Some requests have been fulfilled.
1283
1284 * EditorWindow.py:
1285 Set the cursor to a watch when opening the class browser (which may
1286 take quite a while, browsing multiple files).
1287
1288 Newer, better center() -- but assumes no wrapping.
1289
1290 * SearchBinding.py:
1291 Got rid of debug print statement in goto_line_event().
1292
1293 * ScriptBinding.py:
1294 I think I like it better if it prints the traceback even when it displays
1295 the stack viewer.
1296
1297 * Debugger.py: Bind ESC to close-window.
1298
1299 * ClassBrowser.py: Use a HSeparator between the classes and the items.
1300 Make the list of classes wider by default (40 chars).
1301 Bind ESC to close-window.
1302
1303 * Separator.py:
1304 Separator classes (draggable divider between two panes).
1305
1306Sat Jan 9 22:01:33 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1307
1308 * WindowList.py:
1309 Don't traceback when wakeup() is called when the window has been destroyed.
1310 This can happen when a torn-of Windows menu references closed windows.
1311 And Tim Peters claims that the Windows menu is his favorite to tear off...
1312
1313 * EditorWindow.py: Allow tearing off of the Windows menu.
1314
1315 * StackViewer.py: Close on ESC.
1316
1317 * help.txt: Updated a bunch of things (it was mostly still 0.1!)
1318
1319 * extend.py: Added ScriptBinding to standard bindings.
1320
1321 * ScriptBinding.py:
1322 This now actually works. See doc string. It can run a module (i.e.
1323 import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control). Output
1324 goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.

1331
1332 * README.txt, NEWS.txt: What's new in this release.
1333
1334 * Bindings.py, PyShell.py:
1335 Paul Prescod's patches to allow the stack viewer to pop up when a
1336 traceback is printed.
1337
1338Thu Jan 7 00:12:15 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1339
1340 * FormatParagraph.py:
1341 Change paragraph width limit to 70 (like Emacs M-Q).
1342
1343 * README.txt:
1344 Separating TODO from README. Slight reformulation of features. No
1345 exact release date.
1346
1347 * TODO.txt: Separating TODO from README.
1348
1349Mon Jan 4 21:19:09 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1350
1351 * FormatParagraph.py:
1352 Hm. There was a boundary condition error at the end of the file too.
1353
1354 * SearchBinding.py: Hm. Add Unix binding for replace, too.
1355
1356 * keydefs.py: Ran eventparse.py again.
1357
1358 * FormatParagraph.py: Added Unix Meta-q key binding;
1359 fix find_paragraph when at start of file.
1360
1361 * AutoExpand.py: Added Meta-/ binding for Unix as alt for Alt-/.
1362
1363 * SearchBinding.py:
1364 Add unix binding for grep (otherwise the menu entry doesn't work!)
1365
1366 * ZoomHeight.py: Adjusted Unix height to work with fvwm96. :=(
1367
1368 * GrepDialog.py: Need to import sys!
1369
1370 * help.txt, extend.txt, README.txt: Formatted some paragraphs
1371
1372 * extend.py, FormatParagraph.py:
1373 Add new extension to reformat a (text) paragraph.
1374
1375 * ZoomHeight.py: Typo in Win specific height setting.
1376
1377Sun Jan 3 00:47:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1378
1379 * AutoIndent.py: Added something like Tim Peters' backspace patch.
1380
1381 * ZoomHeight.py: Adapted to Unix (i.e., more hardcoded constants).
1382
1383Sat Jan 2 21:28:54 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1384
1385 * keydefs.py, idlever.py, idle.pyw, idle.bat, help.txt, extend.txt, extend.py, eventparse.py, ZoomHeight.py, WindowList.py, UndoDelegator.py, StackViewer.py, SearchEngine.py, SearchDialogBase.py, SearchDialog.py, ScrolledList.py, SearchBinding.py, ScriptBinding.py, ReplaceDialog.py, Attic/README, README.txt, PyShell.py, Attic/PopupMenu.py, OutputWindow.py, IOBinding.py, Attic/HelpWindow.py, History.py, GrepDialog.py, FileList.py, FrameViewer.py, EditorWindow.py, Debugger.py, Delegator.py, ColorDelegator.py, Bindings.py, ClassBrowser.py, AutoExpand.py, AutoIndent.py:
1386 Checking in IDLE 0.2.
1387
1388 Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
1389 The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
1390 see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
1391 some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
1392 biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
1393 search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
1394
1395 This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
1396 from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
1397
1398Fri Dec 18 15:52:54 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1399
1400 * FileList.py, ClassBrowser.py:
1401 Fix the class browser to work even when the file is not on sys.path.
1402
1403Tue Dec 8 20:39:36 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1404

1406
1407Fri Nov 27 03:19:20 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1408
1409 * help.txt: Typo
1410
1411 * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py: Support underlining of menu labels
1412
1413 * Bindings.py:
1414 New approach, separate tables for menus (platform-independent) and key
1415 definitions (platform-specific), and generating accelerator strings
1416 automatically from the key definitions.
1417
1418Mon Nov 16 18:37:42 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1419
1420 * Attic/README: Clarify portability and main program.
1421
1422 * Attic/README: Added intro for 0.1 release and append Grail notes.
1423
1424Mon Oct 26 18:49:00 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1425
1426 * Attic/turtle.py: root is now a global called _root
1427
1428Sat Oct 24 16:38:38 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1429
1430 * Attic/turtle.py: Raise the root window on reset().
1431 Different action on WM_DELETE_WINDOW is more likely to do the right thing,
1432 allowing us to destroy old windows.
1433
1434 * Attic/turtle.py:
1435 Split the goto() function in two: _goto() is the internal one,
1436 using Canvas coordinates, and goto() uses turtle coordinates
1437 and accepts variable argument lists.
1438
1439 * Attic/turtle.py: Cope with destruction of the window
1440
1441 * Attic/turtle.py: Turtle graphics
1442
1443 * Debugger.py: Use of Breakpoint class should be bdb.Breakpoint.
1444
1445Mon Oct 19 03:33:40 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1446
1447 * SearchBinding.py:
1448 Speed up the search a bit -- don't drag a mark around...
1449
1450 * PyShell.py:
1451 Change our special entries from <console#N> to <pyshell#N>.
1452 Patch linecache.checkcache() to keep our special entries alive.
1453 Add popup menu to all editor windows to set a breakpoint.
1454
1455 * Debugger.py:
1456 Use and pass through the 'force' flag to set_dict() where appropriate.
