Terry Jan Reedy2c5c0a32018-07-20 02:14:56 -040079What's New in IDLE 3.8.0 (since 3.7.0)
Terry Jan Reedya8fb9322019-10-27 01:23:30 -040080Released on 2019-10-14
Terry Jan Reedy05e80672018-02-04 19:07:16 -050081======================================
terryjreedy503bc632017-06-10 20:46:08 -040082
Terry Jan Reedye31a79a2019-10-26 22:19:57 -040083bpo-36698: IDLE no longer fails when writing non-encodable characters
84to stderr. It now escapes them with a backslash, like the regular
85Python interpreter. Add an errors field to the standard streams.
86
87bpo-13153: Improve tkinter's handing of non-BMP (astral) unicode
88characters, such as 'rocket \U0001f680'. Whether a proper glyph or
89replacement char is displayed depends on the OS and font. For IDLE,
90astral chars in code interfere with editing.
91
Terry Jan Reedydfd34a92019-09-17 02:05:04 -040092bpo-35379: When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens
93when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when
94IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying.
95
96bpo-38183: To avoid test issues, test_idle ignores the user config
97directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files
98within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings.

Terry Jan Reedyc59295a2019-09-09 23:10:44 -0400100bpo-38077: IDLE no longer adds 'argv' to the user namespace when

102
Terry Jan Reedy38da8052019-09-06 13:54:45 -0400103bpo-38401: Shell restart lines now fill the window width, always start
104with '=', and avoid wrapping unnecessarily. The line will still wrap
105if the included file name is long relative to the width.
106
GeeTransit2cd90252019-09-04 21:33:34 -0400107bpo-37092: Add mousewheel scrolling for IDLE module, path, and stack
108browsers. Patch by George Zhang.

126
Terry Jan Reedyf35c51d2019-07-29 18:12:14 -0400127bpo-37692: Improve highlight config sample with example shell
128interaction and better labels for shell elements.
129

133bpo-17535: Add optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows.
134

149the handling of __file__ in CreateConfigHandlers/
150
Tal Einatfcf1d002019-07-06 15:35:24 +0300151bpo-26806: To compensate for stack frames added by IDLE and avoid
152possible problems with low recursion limits, add 30 to limits in the
153user code execution process. Subtract 30 when reporting recursion
154limits to make this addition mostly transparent.

Tal Einat5bff3c82019-06-17 22:41:00 +0300167maximizing the window on first use with a particular screen. Changing
168screen settings may invalidate the saved height. While a window is
169maximized, "Zoom Height" has no effect.

171bpo-35763: Make calltip reminder about '/' meaning positional-only less
172obtrusive by only adding it when there is room on the first line.
173

176to sys.argv. One can suppress the normal Shell main module restart.
177
Cheryl Sabella6bdc4de2019-06-02 14:56:47 -0400178bpo-35610: Replace now redundant editor.context_use_ps1 with

Terry Jan Reedy8a1bab92019-03-08 03:04:32 -0500212corresponding argument of .close(). In IDLE, both have always been
213None or False since 2007.

264"Prefer tabs when opening documents" is "Always". As previous
265documented for this issue, running IDLE with this setting causes
266problems. If the setting is changed while IDLE is running,
267there will be no warning until IDLE is restarted.
268
Terry Jan Reedy6ea9d542018-12-06 00:46:22 -0500269bpo-35213: Where appropriate, use 'macOS' in idlelib.
270
271bpo-34864: Document two IDLE on MacOS issues. The System Preferences
272Dock "prefer tabs always" setting disables some IDLE features.
273Menus are a bit different than as described for Windows and Linux.
274
275bpo-35202: Remove unused imports in idlelib.
276
277bpo-33000: Document that IDLE's shell has no line limit.
278A program that runs indefinitely can overfill memory.
279
280bpo-23220: Explain how IDLE's Shell displays output.
281Add new subsection "User output in Shell".
282
283bpo-35099: Improve the doc about IDLE running user code.

285It mostly covers the implications of using custom sys.stdxxx objects.

288Topics include opening, title and status bars, .py* extension, and running.

299The main change is the elimination of chapter-section numbers.
300

302N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the
303Settings dialog. Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by
304right clicking on the output. Squeezed output can be expanded in place
305by double-clicking the button or into the clipboard or a separate window
306by right-clicking the button.

Terry Jan Reedy5a606672018-09-24 19:15:40 -0400321bpo-33975: Avoid small type when running htests.
322Since part of the purpose of human-viewed tests is to determine that
Terry Jan Reedy16fba622018-09-24 20:11:45 -0400323widgets look right, it is important that they look the same for
324testing as when running IDLE.
Terry Jan Reedy5a606672018-09-24 19:15:40 -0400325
Terry Jan Reedy2c5c0a32018-07-20 02:14:56 -0400326bpo-33905: Add test for idlelib.stackview.StackBrowser.
327
328bpo-33924: Change mainmenu.menudefs key 'windows' to 'window'.
329Every other menudef key is the lowercase version of the
330corresponding main menu entry (in this case, 'Window').
331
332bpo-33906: Rename idlelib.windows as window
333Match Window on the main menu and remove last plural module name.
334Change imports, test, and attribute references to match new name.
335
336bpo-33917: Fix and document idlelib/idle_test/template.py.
337The revised file compiles, runs, and tests OK. idle_test/README.txt
338explains how to use it to create new IDLE test files.
339
340bpo-33904: In rstrip module, rename class RstripExtension as Rstrip.
341
342bpo-33907: For consistency and clarity, rename calltip objects.
343Module calltips and its class CallTips are now calltip and Calltip.
344In module calltip_w, class CallTip is now CalltipWindow.
345
346bpo-33855: Minimally test all IDLE modules.
347Standardize the test file format. Add missing test files that import
348the tested module and perform at least one test. Check and record the
349coverage of each test.
350
351bpo-33856: Add 'help' to Shell's initial welcome message.

353
354What's New in IDLE 3.7.0 (since 3.6.0)
355Released on 2018-06-27
356======================================
357
Terry Jan Reedy800415e2018-06-11 14:14:32 -0400358bpo-33656: On Windows, add API call saying that tk scales for DPI.
359On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python
360binary unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this
Terry Jan Reedy4b704f22018-06-11 16:53:41 -0400361should make text and lines sharper and some colors brighter.
362On other systems, it should have no effect. If you have a custom theme,
363you may want to adjust a color or two. If perchance it make text worse
364on your monitor, you can disable the ctypes.OleDLL call near the top of
365pyshell.py and report the problem on python-list or idle-dev@python.org.
Terry Jan Reedy800415e2018-06-11 14:14:32 -0400366
Terry Jan Reedyb1f69022018-06-08 02:28:45 -0400367bpo-33768: Clicking on a context line moves that line to the top
368of the editor window.
369
370bpo-33763: Replace the code context label widget with a text widget.
371
372bpo-33664: Scroll IDLE editor text by lines.
373(Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed
374number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor
375box.) This change also applies to the shell and grep output windows,
376but currently not to read-only text views.
377
378bpo-33679: Enable theme-specific color configuration for Code Context.
379(Previously, there was one code context foreground and background font
380color setting, default or custom, on the extensions tab, that applied
381to all themes.) For built-in themes, the foreground is the same as
382normal text and the background is a contrasting gray. Context colors for
383custom themes are set on the Hightlights tab along with other colors.
384When one starts IDLE from a console and loads a custom theme without
385definitions for 'context', one will see a warning message on the
386console.
387
388bpo-33642: Display up to maxlines non-blank lines for Code Context.
389If there is no current context, show a single blank line. (Previously,
390the Code Contex had numlines lines, usually with some blank.) The use
391of a new option, 'maxlines' (default 15), avoids possible interference
392with user settings of the old option, 'numlines' (default 3).
393
Cheryl Sabella85060162018-05-23 22:18:15 -0400394bpo-33628: Cleanup codecontext.py and its test.
395
Terry Jan Reedy6b0d09b2018-05-19 21:38:46 -0400396bpo-32831: Add docstrings and tests for codecontext.py.
397Coverage is 100%. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
398
399bpo-33564: Code context now recognizes async as a block opener.
400
Terry Jan Reedy038b21f2018-05-15 17:41:57 -0400401bpo-21474: Update word/identifier definition from ascii to unicode.
402In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click,
403movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right
404by control-BACKSPACE/DEL.
405
406bpo-33204: Consistently color invalid string prefixes.
407A 'u' string prefix cannot be paired with either 'r' or 'f'.
408IDLE now consistently colors as much of the prefix, starting at the
409right, as is valid. Revise and extend colorizer test.
410
411bpo-32984: Set __file__ while running a startup file.
412Like Python, IDLE optionally runs 1 startup file in the Shell window
413before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
414option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
415PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
416file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
417prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
418option.
419
420bpo-32940: Replace StringTranslatePseudoMapping with faster code.
421
Terry Jan Reedy0954c9e2018-02-27 18:36:21 -0500422bpo-32916: Change 'str' to 'code' in idlelib.pyparse and users.
423
424bpo-32905: Remove unused code in pyparse module.
425
426bpo-32874: IDLE - add pyparse tests with 97% coverage.
427
428bpo-32837: IDLE - require encoding argument for textview.view_file.
429Using the system and place-dependent default encoding for open()
430is a bad idea for IDLE's system and location-independent files.
431
432bpo-32826: Add "encoding=utf-8" to open() in IDLE's test_help_about.
433GUI test test_file_buttons() only looks at initial ascii-only lines,
434but failed on systems where open() defaults to 'ascii' because
435readline() internally reads and decodes far enough ahead to encounter
436a non-ascii character in CREDITS.txt.
437
Terry Jan Reedy05e80672018-02-04 19:07:16 -0500438bpo-32765: Update configdialog General tab create page docstring.
439Add new widgets to the widget list.
440
Terry Jan Reedy2c0c68d2017-12-04 17:04:15 -0500441bpo-32207: Improve tk event exception tracebacks in IDLE.
442When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing
443and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added
444to tk event exception tracebacks. The traceback is now the same
445as when event handling is driven by user code. Patch based on
446a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka.
447
Terry Jan Reedy21255fc2017-12-04 14:48:25 -0500448bpo-32164: Delete unused file idlelib/tabbedpages.py.
449Use of TabbedPageSet in configdialog was replaced by ttk.Notebook.
450
451bpo-32100: Fix old and new bugs in pathbrowser; improve tests.
452Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella.
453
454bpo-31860: The font sample in the settings dialog is now editable.
455Edits persist while IDLE remains open.
456Patch by Serhiy Storchake and Terry Jan Reedy.
457
Ville Skyttä61f82e02018-04-20 23:08:45 +0300458bpo-31858: Restrict shell prompt manipulation to the shell.
Terry Jan Reedy21255fc2017-12-04 14:48:25 -0500459Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line. This
460simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted.
461Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.
462Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
463
Terry Jan Reedy27288de2017-10-17 19:02:49 -0400464bpo-28603: Fix a TypeError that caused a shell restart when printing
465a traceback that includes an exception that is unhashable.
466Patch by Zane Bitter.
467
468bpo-13802: Use non-Latin characters in the Font settings sample.
469Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode
470Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a
471character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters
472a better idea of what they might see in the shell and editors.
473
474To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are
475re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions.
476Patch by Terry Jan Reedy
477
478bpo-31460: Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser.
479Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the
480option of creating a browser frame that is only part of a window.
481Passing a full file name instead of pieces assumed to come from a
482.py file opens the possibility of browsing python files that do not
483end in .py.
484
485bpo-31649: Make _htest and _utest parameters keyword-only.
486These are used to adjust code for human and unit tests.
487
488bpo-31459: Rename module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser.
489The original module-level class and method browser became a module
490browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
491Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
492compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
493appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.
494Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
495
496bpo-1612262: Module browser now shows nested classes and functions.
497Original patches for code and tests by Guilherme Polo and
498Cheryl Sabella, respectively. Revisions by Terry Jan Reedy.
499
500bpo-31500: Tk's default fonts now are scaled on HiDPI displays.
501This affects all dialogs. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
502
Terry Jan Reedy55679e02017-09-17 20:14:21 -0400503bpo-31493: Fix code context update and font update timers.
504Canceling timers prevents a warning message when test_idle completes.
505
506bpo-31488: Update non-key options in former extension classes.
507When applying configdialog changes, call .reload for each feature class.
508Change ParenMatch so updated options affect existing instances attached
509to existing editor windows.
510
511bpo-31477: Improve rstrip entry in IDLE doc.
512Strip Trailing Whitespace strips more than blank spaces.
513Multiline string literals are not skipped.
514
515bpo-31480: fix tests to pass with zzdummy extension disabled. (#3590)
516To see the example in action, enable it on options extensions tab.
517
518bpo-31421: Document how IDLE runs tkinter programs.
519IDLE calls tcl/tk update in the background in order to make live
Stéphane Wirtel683281f2018-10-06 16:35:53 +0200520interaction and experimentation with tkinter applications much easier.
Terry Jan Reedy55679e02017-09-17 20:14:21 -0400521
Terry Jan Reedyf6586412017-12-10 04:02:53 -0500522bpo-31414: Fix tk entry box tests by deleting first.
Terry Jan Reedy8239fd72017-09-11 16:43:26 -0400523Adding to an int entry is not the same as deleting and inserting
524because int('') will fail. Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
525
526bpo-27099: Convert IDLE's built-in 'extensions' to regular features.
527 About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional
528extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for
529users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion.
530 The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings
531for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding
532in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are
533defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config-
534extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-
535extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
536 The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>',
537'<<expand-word>>', '<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>',
538'<<format-paragraph>>', '<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and
539'<<zoom-height>>'. Any (global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will
540not affect their keyset-specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice
541versa.
luzpaza5293b42017-11-05 07:37:50 -0600542 Initial patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy.
Terry Jan Reedy8239fd72017-09-11 16:43:26 -0400543
544bpo-31051: Rearrange condigdialog General tab.
545Sort non-Help options into Window (Shell+Editor) and Editor (only).
546Leave room for the addition of new options.
547Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
548
549bpo-30617: Add docstrings and tests for outwin subclass of editor.
550Move some data and functions from the class to module level.
551Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
552
553bpo-31287: Do not modify tkinter.messagebox in test_configdialog.
554Instead, mask it with an instance mock that can be deleted.
555Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
556
557bpo-30781: Use ttk widgets in ConfigDialog pages.
558These should especially look better on MacOSX.

569Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
570
571bpo-31002: Add tests for configdialog keys tab.
572Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
573
574bpo-19903: Change calltipes to use inspect.signature.
575Idlelib.calltips.get_argspec now uses inspect.signature instead of
576inspect.getfullargspec, like help() does. This improves the signature
577in the call tip in a few different cases, including builtins converted
578to provide a signature. A message is added if the object is not
579callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only
580parameters. Patch by Louie Lu.
581
582bop-31083: Add an outline of a TabPage class in configdialog.
583Add template as comment. Update existing classes to match outline.
584Initial patch by Cheryl Sabella.
585

587The slightly modified tests for the General tab continue to pass.
588Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
589
590bpo-31004: Factor FontPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog.
591The slightly modified tests continue to pass. The General test
592broken by the switch to ttk.Notebook is fixed.
593Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella.
594
Terry Jan Reedyc3aa47f2017-07-30 06:25:22 -0400595bpo-30781: IDLE - Use ttk Notebook in ConfigDialog.

598
599bpo-31060: IDLE - Finish rearranging methods of ConfigDialog.
600Grouping methods pertaining to each tab and the buttons will aid
601writing tests and improving the tabs and will enable splitting the
602groups into classes.
603Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
604
605bpo-30853: IDLE -- Factor a VarTrace class out of ConfigDialog.
606Instance tracers manages pairs consisting of a tk variable and a
607callback function. When tracing is turned on, setting the variable
608calls the function. Test coverage for the new class is 100%.
609Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
610
611bpo-31003: IDLE: Add more tests for General tab.
612Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
613
614bpo-30993: IDLE - Improve configdialog font page and tests.
615*In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab
616docstring. Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to
617var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella). Move related functions to
618positions after the create widgets function.
619* In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent. Fix
620renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget. Adjust tests for
621movement of set_samples call. Add tests for load functions. Put all
622font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another. Except for
623two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions.
624Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
625
626bpo-30981: IDLE -- Add more configdialog font page tests.
627
628bpo-28523: IDLE: replace 'colour' with 'color' in configdialog.
