25
262001-07-17 15:12 kbk
27
28 * INSTALLATION, setup.py: INSTALLATION: Remove the coexist.patch
29 instructions
30
31 **************** setup.py:
32
33 Remove the idles script, add some words on IDLE Fork to the
34 long_description, and clean up some line spacing.
35
362001-07-17 15:01 kbk
37
38 * coexist.patch: Put this in the attic, at least for now...
39
402001-07-17 14:59 kbk
41
42 * PyShell.py, idle, idles: Implement idle command interface as
43 suggested by GvR [idle-dev] 16 July **************** PyShell: Added
44 functionality:
45
46 usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title]
47 [arg] ...
48
49 idle file(s) (without options) edit the file(s)
50
51 -c cmd run the command in a shell -d enable the
52 debugger -i open an interactive shell -i file(s) open a
53 shell and also an editor window for each file -r script run a file
54 as a script in a shell -s run $IDLESTARTUP or
55 $PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else -t title set title of shell
56 window
57
58 Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).
59
60 ****************** idles: Removed the idles script, not needed
61
62 ****************** idle: Removed the IdleConf references, not
63 required anymore
64
652001-07-16 17:08 kbk
66
67 * INSTALLATION, coexist.patch: Added installation instructions.
68
69 Added a patch which modifies idlefork so that it can co-exist with
70 "official" IDLE in the site-packages directory. This patch is not
71 necessary if only idlefork IDLE is installed. See INSTALLATION for
72 further details.
73
742001-07-16 15:50 kbk
75
76 * idles: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python Shell window.
77
78 The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
79 instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
80 environment by selecting "run". There are times, however, when a
81 shell is desired. Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
82 this script is more convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor
83 window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
84
852001-07-16 15:25 kbk
86
87 * PyShell.py: Call out IDLE Fork in startup message.
88
892001-07-16 14:00 kbk
90
91 * PyShell.py, setup.py: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python
92 Shell window.
93
94 The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
95 instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
96 environment by selecting "run". There are times, however, when a
97 shell is desired. Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
98 this script is more convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor
99 window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
100
1012001-07-15 03:06 kbk
102
103 * pyclbr.py, tabnanny.py: tabnanny and pyclbr are now found in /Lib
104
1052001-07-15 02:29 kbk
106
107 * BrowserControl.py: Remove, was retained for 1.5.2 support
108
1092001-07-14 15:48 kbk
110
111 * setup.py: Installing Idle to site-packages via Distutils does not
112 copy the Idle help.txt file.
113
114 Ref SF Python Patch 422471
115
1162001-07-14 15:26 kbk
117
118 * keydefs.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.3) merge
119
120 "Make copy, cut and paste events case insensitive. Reported by
121 Patrick K. O'Brien on idle-dev. (Should other bindings follow
122 suit?)" --GvR
123
1242001-07-14 15:21 kbk
125
126 * idle.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
127
128 "Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
129 module rather than the idle.py script. This has advantages and
130 disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
131 have an alternative main program." --GvR
132
1332001-07-14 15:18 kbk
134
135 * extend.txt: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
136
137 "Quick update to the extension mechanism (extend.py is gone, long
138 live config.txt)" --GvR
139
1402001-07-14 15:15 kbk
141
142 * StackViewer.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.16) merge
143
144 "Refactored, with some future plans in mind. This now uses the new
145 gotofileline() method defined in FileList.py" --GvR
146
1472001-07-14 15:10 kbk
148
149 * PyShell.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.34) merge
150
151 "Amazing. A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually
152 found a bug here. Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from
153 class OutputWindow. Method PyShell.close() wants to invoke its
154 parent method, but because PyShell long ago was inherited from
155 class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes
156 PyShelEditorWindow.close(self). Now, class PyShellEditorWindow
157 itself derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close()
158 method from there without overriding it. Under the old rules,
159 PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted
160 to the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was
161 OutputWindow.close. Under the new rules, the unbound method is
162 restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is
163 PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error."
164 --GvR
165
1662001-07-14 14:59 kbk
167
168 * PyParse.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.9) merge
169
170 "Taught IDLE's autoident parser that "yield" is a keyword that
171 begins a stmt. Along w/ the preceding change to keyword.py, making
172 all this work w/ a future-stmt just looks harder and harder."
173 --tim_one
174
175 (From Rel 1.8: "Hack to make this still work with Python 1.5.2.
176 ;-( " --fdrake)
177
1782001-07-14 14:51 kbk
179
180 * IdleConf.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.7) merge
181
182 "Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
183 module rather than the idle.py script. This has advantages and
184 disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
185 have an alternative main program." --GvR
186
1872001-07-14 14:45 kbk
188
189 * FileList.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.9) merge
190
191 "Delete goodname() method, which is unused. Add gotofileline(), a
192 convenience method which I intend to use in a variant. Rename
193 test() to _test()." --GvR
194
195 This was an interesting merge. The join completely missed removing
196 goodname(), which was adjacent, but outside of, a small conflict.
197 I only caught it by comparing the 1.1.3.2/1.1.3.3 diff. CVS ain't
198 infallible.
199
2002001-07-14 13:58 kbk
201
202 * EditorWindow.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.38) merge "Remove
203 legacy support for the BrowserControl module; the webbrowser module
204 has been included since Python 2.0, and that is the preferred
205 interface." --fdrake
206
2072001-07-14 13:32 kbk

320
321 VP IDLE version depended on VP's ExecBinding.py and spawn.py to get
322 the path to the Windows Doc directory (relative to python.exe).
323 Removed this conflicting code in favor of py-cvs updates which on
324 Windows use a hard coded path relative to the location of this
325 module. py-cvs updates include support for webbrowser.py. Module
326 still has BrowserControl.py for 1.5.2 support.
327
328 At this point, the differences wrt py-cvs relate to menu
329 functionality.

510 connect get a tuple instead two arguments.
511
5122000-09-24 17:28 nriley
513
514 * spawn.py: Change for Python 1.6 compatibility - UNIX's 'os'
515 module defines 'spawnv' now, so we check for 'fork' first.

David Scherer7aced172000-08-15 01:13:23 +0000575Tue Feb 15 18:08:19 2000 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
576
577 * NEWS.txt: Notice status bar and stack viewer.
578
579 * EditorWindow.py: Support for Moshe's status bar.
580
581 * MultiStatusBar.py: Status bar code -- by Moshe Zadka.
582
583 * OldStackViewer.py:
584 Adding the old stack viewer implementation back, for the debugger.
585
586 * StackViewer.py: New stack viewer, uses a tree widget.
587 (XXX: the debugger doesn't yet use this.)
588
589 * WindowList.py:
590 Correct a typo and remove an unqualified except that was hiding the error.
591
592 * ClassBrowser.py: Add an XXX comment about the ClassBrowser AIP.
593
594 * ChangeLog: Updated change log.
595
596 * NEWS.txt: News update. Probably incomplete; what else is new?
597
598 * README.txt:
599 Updated for pending IDLE 0.5 release (still very rough -- just getting
600 it out in a more convenient format than CVS).
601
602 * TODO.txt: Tiny addition.
603
604Thu Sep 9 14:16:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
605
606 * TODO.txt: A few new TODO entries.
607
608Thu Aug 26 23:06:22 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
609
610 * Bindings.py: Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu.
611
612 * EditorWindow.py:
613 Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
614 (Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)
615
616 Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
617 to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
618 location can't be predicted). Windows solution TBD.
619
620Wed Aug 11 14:55:43 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
621
622 * TreeWidget.py:
623 Moshe noticed an inconsistency in his comment, so I'm rephrasing it to
624 be clearer.
625
626 * TreeWidget.py:
627 Patch inspired by Moshe Zadka to search for the Icons directory in the
628 same directory as __file__, rather than searching for it along sys.path.
629 This works better when idle is a package.
630
631Thu Jul 15 13:11:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
632
633 * TODO.txt: New wishes.
634
635Sat Jul 10 13:17:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
636
637 * IdlePrefs.py:
638 Make the color for stderr red (i.e. the standard warning/danger/stop
639 color) rather than green. Suggested by Sam Schulenburg.
640
641Fri Jun 25 17:26:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
642
643 * PyShell.py: Close debugger when closing. This may break a cycle.
644
645 * Debugger.py: Break cycle on close.
646
647 * ClassBrowser.py: Destroy the tree when closing.
648
649 * TreeWidget.py: Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree.
650
651 * PyShell.py: Extend _close() to break cycles.
652 Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).
653
654 * EditorWindow.py:
655 Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the
656 user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).
657 It closes more than before.
658
659 Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
660 _close(). It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.
661
662 * Percolator.py: Add close() method that breaks cycles.
663
664 * WidgetRedirector.py: Add unregister() method.
665 Unregister everything at closing.
666 Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().
667
668 * IOBinding.py, FormatParagraph.py, CallTips.py:
669 Add close() method that breaks a cycle.
670
671Fri Jun 11 15:03:00 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
672
673 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py:
674 Tim Peters smart.patch:
675
676 EditorWindow.py:
677
678 + Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
679 widget's view of what a tab means.
680
681 + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.
682
683 + Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
684 but the name was plain wrong <wink>).
685
686 FormatParagraph.py: renamed use of get_selection_index.
687
688 AutoIndent.py:
689
690 + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.
691
692 + Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.
693
694 + Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
695 preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
696 inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).
697
698 + Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
699 get_selection_indices. The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
700 "set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.
701
702 + Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
703 cmd.
704
705Thu Jun 10 17:48:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
706
707 * FormatParagraph.py:
708 Code by Mark Hammond to format paragraphs embedded in comments.
709 Read the comments (which I reformatted using the new feature :-)
710 for some limitations.
711
712 * EditorWindow.py:
713 Added abstraction get_selection_index() (Mark Hammond). Also
714 reformatted some comment blocks to show off a cool feature I'm about
715 to check in next.
716
717 * ClassBrowser.py:
718 Adapt to the new pyclbr's support of listing top-level functions. If
719 this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
720 Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.
721
722 (Hmm... Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
723 of the new pyclbr.py!)
724
725 * AutoIndent.py:
726 Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the
727 list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the
728 end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be
729 commented out!
730
731 * CallTips.py:
732 Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for
733 class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function. Also updated
734 the test code to reflect your new "***" change.
735
736 * CallTipWindow.py:
737 Mark Hammond writes: Tim's suggestion of copying the font for the
738 CallTipWindow from the text control makes sense, and actually makes
739 the control look better IMO.
740
741Wed Jun 9 20:34:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
742
743 * CallTips.py:
744 Append "..." if the appropriate flag (for varargs) in co_flags is set.
745 Ditto "***" for kwargs.
746
747Tue Jun 8 13:06:07 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
748
749 * ReplaceDialog.py:
750 Hmm... Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block.
751 I think I like it better if it os, so here.
752
753 * ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo.
754
755 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters:
756
757 + Set usetabs=1. Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.
758 usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=
759 tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs
760 turned off. The only implication is that if you open a file whose first
761 indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and
762 set indentwidth to 8). Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for
763 PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark
764 probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).
765
766 + Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line. The
767 "holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it
768 needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).
769
770Mon Jun 7 15:38:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
771
772 * TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py:
773 Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code.
774
775 * PyParse.py: Tim Peters:
776
777 Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.
778
779 Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,
780 but makes more breathing room for other extensions.
781
782 Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put
783 """ at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start
784 typing in code. Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some
785 large fraction of a second. The new code gets indented correctly, despite
786 that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after
787 which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).
788
789Fri Jun 4 19:21:19 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
790
791 * extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default.
792 If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it.
793
794Thu Jun 3 14:32:16 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
795
796 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py:
797 New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes:
798
799 IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
800 doctest.py <wink>.
801
802 As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
803 method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in
804 whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
805 EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.
806
807 * GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message.
808
809 * CallTips.py:
810 Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is
811 constructed.
812
813Wed Jun 2 18:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
814
815 * CallTips.py:
816 My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>.
817 Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>.
818
819 * CallTips.py:
820 A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup. Has some newer
821 stuff for getting the tip. Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events
822 for Unix. Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and
823 ButtonRelease events.
824
825 * CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py:
826 Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.)
827
828 * IdleHistory.py:
829 Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to
830 the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves
831 in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items.
832
833 * AutoIndent.py:
834 Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
835 well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
836
837 * EditorWindow.py:
838 Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
839 well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
840
841Tue Jun 1 20:06:44 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
842
843 * AutoIndent.py: Hah! A fix of my own to Tim's code!
844 Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were
845 missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,
846 even though they were in the menu. The new Unix bindings are now
847 the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).
848
849 * AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again:
850
851 The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module
852 I have <whew!>. You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with
853 5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then
854 adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on
855 my P5-166. Response time in real code appears instantaneous.
856
857 Fixed some bugs.
858
859 New feature: when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading
860 indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before
861 whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is
862 between the comma and the space:
863
864 def something(arg1, arg2):
865 ^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER
866 arg2): # new line used to end up here
867 arg2): # but now lines up the way you expect
868
869 New hack: AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,
870 defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell. Reason: handling
871 the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1
872 lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a
873 bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module
874 docstrings often). PythonWin's shell should set this true too.
875
876 Persistent problem: strings containing def/class can still screw things up
877 completely. No improvement. Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and
878 consists of inserting e.g.
879
880 def _(): pass
881
882 (or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's
883 screwing them up. This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring
884 is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the
885 indentation behavior they see.
886
887 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters again:
888
889 [Tim, after adding some bracket smarts to AutoIndent.py]
890 > ...
891 > What it can't possibly do without reparsing large gobs of text is
892 > suggest a reasonable indent level after you've *closed* a bracket
893 > left open on some previous line.
894 > ...
895
896 The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time. The
897 code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g.,
898
899 return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start :
900 ^ indents to caret
901 i],
902 ^ indents to caret
903 self.tabwidth)) + 1
904 ^ indents to caret
905
906 It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash
907 continuation rules. It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it
908 happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1
909 buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to
910 see the start of the string, it's completely hosed. I can't repair that --
911 it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time.
912
913 AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls
914 how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made
915 user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly.
916
917 * PyParse.py: New file by Tim Peters:
918
919 One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was
920 called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its
921 functionality.
922
923 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters keeps revising this module (more to come):
924
925 Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding.
926
927 Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify. I
928 think prompting for this is good now: they're usually at-most-once-per-file
929 commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default
930 anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means.
931
932 Irony: for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's
933 non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc
934 approach.
935
936 * EditorWindow.py:
937 1. Catch NameError on import (could be raised by case mismatch on Windows).
938 2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling
939 ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget
940 takes care of the watch cursor.
941 3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class
942 browser on buffer without filename.
943
944 * Icons/minusnode.gif, Icons/plusnode.gif: Missed a few.
945
946 * ClassBrowser.py, PathBrowser.py: Rewritten based on TreeWidget.py
947
948 * ObjectBrowser.py: Object browser, based on TreeWidget.py.
949
950 * TreeWidget.py: Tree widget done right.
951
952 * ToolTip.py: As yet unused code for tool tips.
953
954 * ScriptBinding.py:
955 Ensure sys.argv[0] is the script name on Run Script.
956
957 * ZoomHeight.py: Move zoom height functionality to separate function.
958
959 * Icons/folder.gif, Icons/openfolder.gif, Icons/python.gif, Icons/tk.gif:
960 A few icons used by ../TreeWidget.py and its callers.
961
962 * AutoIndent.py: New version by Tim Peters improves block opening test.
963
964Fri May 21 04:46:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
965
966 * Attic/History.py, PyShell.py: Rename History to IdleHistory.
967 Add isatty() to pseudo files.
968
969 * StackViewer.py: Make initial stack viewer wider
970
971 * TODO.txt: New wishes
972
973 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py:
974 Much improved autoindent and handling of tabs,
975 by Tim Peters.

979 * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py, UndoDelegator.py:

982 I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a
983 different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in
984 EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better
985 idea?
986
987 Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think
988 you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,
989 including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and
990 backspacing.
991
992 * WidgetRedirector.py: Tim Peters writes:
993
994 [W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two
995 possible glitches. In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to
996 rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name
997 "previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>.

999Fri Apr 30 19:39:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1000
1001 * __init__.py: Support for using idle as a package.
1002
1003 * PathBrowser.py:
1004 Avoid listing files more than once (e.g. foomodule.so has two hits:
1005 once for foo + module.so, once for foomodule + .so).
1006
1007Mon Apr 26 22:20:38 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1008
1009 * ChangeLog, ColorDelegator.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters strikes again:
1010
1011 Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded! The colorizer is working with
1012 "line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of
1013 the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of
1014 baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a
1015 backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>).
1016
1017 Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick. CPU usage goes way up when
1018 typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for
1019 me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine). Most of the
1020 changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me
1021 reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to
1022
1023Fri Apr 23 14:01:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1024
1025 * EditorWindow.py:
1026 Provide full arguments to __import__ so it works in packagized IDLE.
1027
1028Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1029
1030 * help.txt:
1031 Bunch of updates necessary due to recent changes; added docs for File
1032 menu, command line and color preferences.
1033
1034 * Bindings.py: Remove obsolete 'script' menu.
1035
1036 * TODO.txt: Several wishes fulfilled.
1037
1038 * OutputWindow.py:
1039 Moved classes OnDemandOutputWindow and PseudoFile here,
1040 from ScriptBinding.py where they are no longer needed.
1041
1042 * ScriptBinding.py:
1043 Mostly rewritten. Instead of the old Run module and Debug module,
1044 there are two new commands:
1045
1046 Import module (F5) imports or reloads the module and also adds its
1047 name to the __main__ namespace. This gets executed in the PyShell
1048 window under control of its debug settings.
1049
1050 Run script (Control-F5) is similar but executes the contents of the
1051 file directly in the __main__ namespace.
1052
1053 * PyShell.py: Nits: document use of $IDLESTARTUP; display idle version
1054
1055 * idlever.py: New version to celebrate new command line
1056
1057 * OutputWindow.py: Added flush(), for completeness.
1058
1059 * PyShell.py:
1060 A lot of changes to make the command line more useful. You can now do:
1061 idle.py -e file ... -- to edit files
1062 idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
1063 idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
1064 Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
1065 -d -- enable debugger
1066 -s -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
1067 -t title -- set Python Shell window's title
1068 sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
1069 sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.
1070
1071 Other changes:
1072 - the environment in which commands are executed is now the
1073 __main__ module
1074 - explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
1075 - new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
1076 - a few small nits
1077
1078 * TODO.txt:
1079 Some more TODO items. Made up my mind about command line args,
1080 Run/Import, __main__.
1081
1082 * ColorDelegator.py:
1083 Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
1084 dramatically (up to 15 times he claims). Works by reading more than
1085 one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
1086 then doubling up to the limit). On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
1087 P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
1088 way.
1089
1090Wed Apr 21 15:49:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1091
1092 * ColorDelegator.py:
1093 Patch by Tim Peters to speed up colorizing of big multiline strings.
1094
1095Tue Apr 20 17:32:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1096
1097 * extend.txt:
1098 For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
1099 foo_bar_event(). Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
1100 the example.
1101
1102 * IdlePrefs.py: Restored the original IDLE color scheme.
1103
1104 * PyShell.py, IdlePrefs.py, ColorDelegator.py, EditorWindow.py:
1105 Color preferences code by Loren Luke (massaged by me somewhat)
1106
1107 * SearchEngine.py:
1108 Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
1109 unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
1110 between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
1111 an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
1112 m.span() call).
1113
1114Mon Apr 19 16:26:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1115
1116 * TODO.txt: A few wishes are now fulfilled.
1117
1118 * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
1119
1120 o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate
1121 (see Help list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from
1122 every other editor on earth <wink>).
1123
1124 o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old
1125 line (pymode and Codewright).
1126
1127 o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
1128 comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).
1129
1130 o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
1131 return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).
1132
1133 The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings &
1134 continuations, but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing
1135 functions to avoid that in finite time.

1141Wed Apr 7 18:41:59 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1142
1143 * README.txt, NEWS.txt: New version.
1144
1145 * idlever.py: Version bump awaiting impending new release.
1146 (Not much has changed :-( )
1147
1148Mon Mar 29 14:52:28 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1149
1150 * ScriptBinding.py, PyShell.py:
1151 At Tim Peters' recommendation, add a dummy flush() method to
1152 PseudoFile.
1153
1154Thu Mar 11 23:21:23 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1155
1156 * PathBrowser.py: Don't crash when sys.path contains an empty string.
1157
1158 * Attic/Outline.py: This file was never supposed to be part of IDLE.
1159
1160 * PathBrowser.py:
1161 - Don't crash in the case where a superclass is a string instead of a
1162 pyclbr.Class object; this can happen when the superclass is
1163 unrecognizable (to pyclbr), e.g. when module renaming is used.
1164
1165 - Show a watch cursor when calling pyclbr (since it may take a while
1166 recursively parsing imported modules!).
1167
1168Wed Mar 10 05:18:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1169
1170 * EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py: Add PathBrowser to File module
1171
1172 * PathBrowser.py: "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
1173 directories on sys.path
1174 modules in selected directory
1175 classes in selected module
1176 methods of selected class
1177
1178 Sinlge clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
1179 column with info about the selected item. Double clicking in a
1180 module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
1181 item if it is a class or method).
1182
1183 I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
1184 ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
1185 Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.
1186
1187 * MultiScrolledLists.py:
1188 New utility: multiple scrolled lists in parallel
1189
1190 * ScrolledList.py: - White background.
1191 - Display "(None)" (or text of your choosing) when empty.
1192 - Don't set the focus.

1199
1200 * NEWS.txt: News in 0.3.
1201
1202 * README.txt, idlever.py: Bump version to 0.3.
1203
1204 * EditorWindow.py:
1205 After all, we don't need to call the callbacks ourselves!
1206
1207 * WindowList.py:
1208 When deleting, call the callbacks *after* deleting the window from our list!
1209
1210 * EditorWindow.py:
1211 Fix up the Windows menu via the new callback mechanism instead of
1212 depending on menu post commands (which don't work when the menu is
1213 torn off).
1214
1215 * WindowList.py:
1216 Support callbacks to patch up Windows menus everywhere.
1217
1218 * ChangeLog: Oh, why not. Checking in the Emacs-generated change log.
1219
1220Tue Feb 16 22:34:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1221
1222 * ScriptBinding.py:
1223 Only pop up the stack viewer when requested in the Debug menu.
1224
1225Mon Feb 8 22:27:49 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1226
1227 * WindowList.py: Don't crash if a window no longer exists.
1228
1229 * TODO.txt: Restructured a bit.
1230
1231Mon Feb 1 23:06:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1232
1233 * PyShell.py: Add current dir or paths of file args to sys.path.
1234
1235 * Debugger.py: Add canonic() function -- for brand new bdb.py feature.
1236
1237 * StackViewer.py: Protect against accessing an empty stack.
1238
1239Fri Jan 29 20:44:45 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1240
1241 * ZoomHeight.py:
1242 Use only the height to decide whether to zoom in or out.
1243
1244Thu Jan 28 22:24:30 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1245
1246 * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py:
1247 Make sure the Tcl variables are shared between windows.
1248
1249 * PyShell.py, EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
1250 Move menu/key binding code from Bindings.py to EditorWindow.py,
1251 with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
1252 Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
1253 a '!', it gets a checkbox. Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
1254 that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
1255 the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.
1256
1257 * Debugger.py: Add Quit button to the debugger window.
1258
1259 * SearchDialog.py:
1260 When find_again() finds exactly the current selection, it's a failure.
1261
1262 * idle.py, Attic/idle: Rename idle -> idle.py
1263
1264Mon Jan 18 15:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1265
1266 * EditorWindow.py, WindowList.py: Only deiconify when iconic.
1267
1268 * TODO.txt: Misc
1269
1270Tue Jan 12 22:14:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1271
1272 * testcode.py, Attic/test.py:
1273 Renamed test.py to testcode.py so one can import Python's
1274 test package from inside IDLE. (Suggested by Jack Jansen.)
1275
1276 * EditorWindow.py, ColorDelegator.py:
1277 Hack to close a window that is colorizing.
1278
1279 * Separator.py: Vladimir Marangozov's patch:
1280 The separator dances too much and seems to jump by arbitrary amounts
1281 in arbitrary directions when I try to move it for resizing the frames.
1282 This patch makes it more quiet.
1283
1284Mon Jan 11 14:52:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1285
1286 * TODO.txt: Some requests have been fulfilled.
1287
1288 * EditorWindow.py:
1289 Set the cursor to a watch when opening the class browser (which may
1290 take quite a while, browsing multiple files).
1291
1292 Newer, better center() -- but assumes no wrapping.
1293
1294 * SearchBinding.py:
1295 Got rid of debug print statement in goto_line_event().
1296
1297 * ScriptBinding.py:
1298 I think I like it better if it prints the traceback even when it displays
1299 the stack viewer.
1300
1301 * Debugger.py: Bind ESC to close-window.
1302
1303 * ClassBrowser.py: Use a HSeparator between the classes and the items.
1304 Make the list of classes wider by default (40 chars).
1305 Bind ESC to close-window.
1306
1307 * Separator.py:
1308 Separator classes (draggable divider between two panes).
1309
1310Sat Jan 9 22:01:33 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1311
1312 * WindowList.py:
1313 Don't traceback when wakeup() is called when the window has been destroyed.
1314 This can happen when a torn-of Windows menu references closed windows.
1315 And Tim Peters claims that the Windows menu is his favorite to tear off...
1316
1317 * EditorWindow.py: Allow tearing off of the Windows menu.
1318
1319 * StackViewer.py: Close on ESC.
1320
1321 * help.txt: Updated a bunch of things (it was mostly still 0.1!)
1322
1323 * extend.py: Added ScriptBinding to standard bindings.
1324
1325 * ScriptBinding.py:
1326 This now actually works. See doc string. It can run a module (i.e.
1327 import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control). Output
1328 goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.

1336 * README.txt, NEWS.txt: What's new in this release.
1337
1338 * Bindings.py, PyShell.py:
1339 Paul Prescod's patches to allow the stack viewer to pop up when a
1340 traceback is printed.
1341
1342Thu Jan 7 00:12:15 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1343
1344 * FormatParagraph.py:
1345 Change paragraph width limit to 70 (like Emacs M-Q).
1346
1347 * README.txt:
1348 Separating TODO from README. Slight reformulation of features. No
1349 exact release date.
1350

1352
1353Mon Jan 4 21:19:09 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1354
1355 * FormatParagraph.py:
1356 Hm. There was a boundary condition error at the end of the file too.
1357
1358 * SearchBinding.py: Hm. Add Unix binding for replace, too.
1359
1360 * keydefs.py: Ran eventparse.py again.
1361
1362 * FormatParagraph.py: Added Unix Meta-q key binding;
1363 fix find_paragraph when at start of file.
1364
1365 * AutoExpand.py: Added Meta-/ binding for Unix as alt for Alt-/.
1366
1367 * SearchBinding.py:
1368 Add unix binding for grep (otherwise the menu entry doesn't work!)
1369
1370 * ZoomHeight.py: Adjusted Unix height to work with fvwm96. :=(
1371
1372 * GrepDialog.py: Need to import sys!
1373
1374 * help.txt, extend.txt, README.txt: Formatted some paragraphs
1375
1376 * extend.py, FormatParagraph.py:
1377 Add new extension to reformat a (text) paragraph.
1378
1379 * ZoomHeight.py: Typo in Win specific height setting.
1380
1381Sun Jan 3 00:47:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1382
1383 * AutoIndent.py: Added something like Tim Peters' backspace patch.
1384
1385 * ZoomHeight.py: Adapted to Unix (i.e., more hardcoded constants).
1386
1387Sat Jan 2 21:28:54 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1388
1389 * 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:
1390 Checking in IDLE 0.2.
1391
1392 Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
1393 The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
1394 see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
1395 some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
1396 biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
1397 search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
1398
1399 This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
1400 from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
1401
1402Fri Dec 18 15:52:54 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1403
1404 * FileList.py, ClassBrowser.py:
1405 Fix the class browser to work even when the file is not on sys.path.
1406
1407Tue Dec 8 20:39:36 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1408

1410
1411Fri Nov 27 03:19:20 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1412
1413 * help.txt: Typo
1414
1415 * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py: Support underlining of menu labels
1416
1417 * Bindings.py:
1418 New approach, separate tables for menus (platform-independent) and key
1419 definitions (platform-specific), and generating accelerator strings
1420 automatically from the key definitions.
1421
1422Mon Nov 16 18:37:42 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1423
1424 * Attic/README: Clarify portability and main program.
1425
1426 * Attic/README: Added intro for 0.1 release and append Grail notes.
1427
1428Mon Oct 26 18:49:00 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1429
1430 * Attic/turtle.py: root is now a global called _root
1431
1432Sat Oct 24 16:38:38 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1433
1434 * Attic/turtle.py: Raise the root window on reset().
1435 Different action on WM_DELETE_WINDOW is more likely to do the right thing,
1436 allowing us to destroy old windows.
1437
1438 * Attic/turtle.py:
1439 Split the goto() function in two: _goto() is the internal one,
1440 using Canvas coordinates, and goto() uses turtle coordinates
1441 and accepts variable argument lists.
1442
1443 * Attic/turtle.py: Cope with destruction of the window
1444
1445 * Attic/turtle.py: Turtle graphics
1446
1447 * Debugger.py: Use of Breakpoint class should be bdb.Breakpoint.
1448
1449Mon Oct 19 03:33:40 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1450
1451 * SearchBinding.py:

1524
1525 * Debugger.py, PyShell.py, Bindings.py:
1526 Ad primitive debugger interface (so far it will step and show you the
