IDLEfork ChangeLog

==================

2001-07-20 11:35 elguavas

* README.txt, NEWS.txt: bring up to date for 0.8.1 release

2001-07-19 16:40 elguavas

* IDLEFORK.html: replaced by IDLEFORK-index.html

2001-07-19 16:39 elguavas

* IDLEFORK-index.html: updated placeholder idlefork homepage

2001-07-19 14:49 elguavas

* ChangeLog, EditorWindow.py, INSTALLATION, NEWS.txt, README.txt,

TODO.txt, idlever.py:

minor tidy-ups ready for 0.8.1 alpha tarball release

2001-07-17 15:12 kbk

* INSTALLATION, setup.py: INSTALLATION: Remove the coexist.patch

instructions

**************** setup.py:

Remove the idles script, add some words on IDLE Fork to the

long_description, and clean up some line spacing.

2001-07-17 15:01 kbk

* coexist.patch: Put this in the attic, at least for now...

2001-07-17 14:59 kbk

* PyShell.py, idle, idles: Implement idle command interface as

suggested by GvR [idle-dev] 16 July **************** PyShell: Added

functionality:

usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title]

[arg] ...

idle file(s) (without options) edit the file(s)

-c cmd run the command in a shell -d enable the

debugger -i open an interactive shell -i file(s) open a

shell and also an editor window for each file -r script run a file

as a script in a shell -s run $IDLESTARTUP or

$PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else -t title set title of shell

window

Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).

****************** idles: Removed the idles script, not needed

****************** idle: Removed the IdleConf references, not

required anymore

2001-07-16 17:08 kbk

* INSTALLATION, coexist.patch: Added installation instructions.

Added a patch which modifies idlefork so that it can co-exist with

"official" IDLE in the site-packages directory. This patch is not

necessary if only idlefork IDLE is installed. See INSTALLATION for

further details.

2001-07-16 15:50 kbk

* idles: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python Shell window.

The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window

instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh

environment by selecting "run". There are times, however, when a

shell is desired. Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",

this script is more convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor

window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".

2001-07-16 15:25 kbk

* PyShell.py: Call out IDLE Fork in startup message.

2001-07-16 14:00 kbk

* PyShell.py, setup.py: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python

Shell window.

The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window

instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh

environment by selecting "run". There are times, however, when a

shell is desired. Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",

this script is more convenient. In addition, a shell and an editor

window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".

2001-07-15 03:06 kbk

* pyclbr.py, tabnanny.py: tabnanny and pyclbr are now found in /Lib

2001-07-15 02:29 kbk

* BrowserControl.py: Remove, was retained for 1.5.2 support

2001-07-14 15:48 kbk

* setup.py: Installing Idle to site-packages via Distutils does not

copy the Idle help.txt file.

Ref SF Python Patch 422471

2001-07-14 15:26 kbk

* keydefs.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.3) merge

"Make copy, cut and paste events case insensitive. Reported by

Patrick K. O'Brien on idle-dev. (Should other bindings follow

suit?)" --GvR

2001-07-14 15:21 kbk

* idle.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge

"Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf

module rather than the idle.py script. This has advantages and

disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily

have an alternative main program." --GvR

2001-07-14 15:18 kbk

* extend.txt: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge

"Quick update to the extension mechanism (extend.py is gone, long

live config.txt)" --GvR

2001-07-14 15:15 kbk

* StackViewer.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.16) merge

"Refactored, with some future plans in mind. This now uses the new

gotofileline() method defined in FileList.py" --GvR

2001-07-14 15:10 kbk

* PyShell.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.34) merge

"Amazing. A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually

found a bug here. Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from

class OutputWindow. Method PyShell.close() wants to invoke its

parent method, but because PyShell long ago was inherited from

class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes

PyShelEditorWindow.close(self). Now, class PyShellEditorWindow

itself derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close()

method from there without overriding it. Under the old rules,

PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted

to the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was

OutputWindow.close. Under the new rules, the unbound method is

restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is

PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error."

--GvR

2001-07-14 14:59 kbk

* PyParse.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.9) merge

"Taught IDLE's autoident parser that "yield" is a keyword that

begins a stmt. Along w/ the preceding change to keyword.py, making

all this work w/ a future-stmt just looks harder and harder."

--tim_one

(From Rel 1.8: "Hack to make this still work with Python 1.5.2.

;-( " --fdrake)

2001-07-14 14:51 kbk

* IdleConf.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.7) merge

"Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf

module rather than the idle.py script. This has advantages and

disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily

have an alternative main program." --GvR

2001-07-14 14:45 kbk

* FileList.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.9) merge

"Delete goodname() method, which is unused. Add gotofileline(), a

convenience method which I intend to use in a variant. Rename

test() to _test()." --GvR

This was an interesting merge. The join completely missed removing

goodname(), which was adjacent, but outside of, a small conflict.

I only caught it by comparing the 1.1.3.2/1.1.3.3 diff. CVS ain't

infallible.

2001-07-14 13:58 kbk

* EditorWindow.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.38) merge "Remove

legacy support for the BrowserControl module; the webbrowser module

has been included since Python 2.0, and that is the preferred

interface." --fdrake

2001-07-14 13:32 kbk

* EditorWindow.py, FileList.py, IdleConf.py, PyParse.py,

PyShell.py, StackViewer.py, extend.txt, idle.py, keydefs.py: Import

existing 1.1.3 vendor branch named py-cvs-vendor-branch. Release

tag is py-cvs-2001_07_13.

* EditorWindow.py: py-cvs-rel2_1 (Rev 1.33 - 1.37) merge

VP IDLE version depended on VP's ExecBinding.py and spawn.py to get

the path to the Windows Doc directory (relative to python.exe).

Removed this conflicting code in favor of py-cvs updates which on

Windows use a hard coded path relative to the location of this

module. py-cvs updates include support for webbrowser.py. Module

still has BrowserControl.py for 1.5.2 support.

At this point, the differences wrt py-cvs relate to menu

functionality.

BrowserControl.py 10 May 2000. It provides a collection of classes

support". It was removed from py-cvs 18 April 2001.

original IDLE ChangeLog:

========================

Tue Feb 15 18:08:19 2000 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* NEWS.txt: Notice status bar and stack viewer.

* EditorWindow.py: Support for Moshe's status bar.

* MultiStatusBar.py: Status bar code -- by Moshe Zadka.

* OldStackViewer.py:

Adding the old stack viewer implementation back, for the debugger.

* StackViewer.py: New stack viewer, uses a tree widget.

(XXX: the debugger doesn't yet use this.)

* WindowList.py:

Correct a typo and remove an unqualified except that was hiding the error.

* ClassBrowser.py: Add an XXX comment about the ClassBrowser AIP.

* ChangeLog: Updated change log.

* NEWS.txt: News update. Probably incomplete; what else is new?

* README.txt:

Updated for pending IDLE 0.5 release (still very rough -- just getting

it out in a more convenient format than CVS).

* TODO.txt: Tiny addition.

Thu Sep 9 14:16:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* TODO.txt: A few new TODO entries.

Thu Aug 26 23:06:22 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* Bindings.py: Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu.

* EditorWindow.py:

Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.

(Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)

Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing

to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its

location can't be predicted). Windows solution TBD.

Wed Aug 11 14:55:43 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* TreeWidget.py:

Moshe noticed an inconsistency in his comment, so I'm rephrasing it to

be clearer.

* TreeWidget.py:

Patch inspired by Moshe Zadka to search for the Icons directory in the

same directory as __file__, rather than searching for it along sys.path.

This works better when idle is a package.

Thu Jul 15 13:11:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* TODO.txt: New wishes.

Sat Jul 10 13:17:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* IdlePrefs.py:

Make the color for stderr red (i.e. the standard warning/danger/stop

color) rather than green. Suggested by Sam Schulenburg.

Fri Jun 25 17:26:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* PyShell.py: Close debugger when closing. This may break a cycle.

* Debugger.py: Break cycle on close.

* ClassBrowser.py: Destroy the tree when closing.

* TreeWidget.py: Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree.

* PyShell.py: Extend _close() to break cycles.

Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).

* EditorWindow.py:

Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the

user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).

It closes more than before.

Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from

_close(). It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.

* Percolator.py: Add close() method that breaks cycles.

* WidgetRedirector.py: Add unregister() method.

Unregister everything at closing.

Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().

* IOBinding.py, FormatParagraph.py, CallTips.py:

Add close() method that breaks a cycle.

Fri Jun 11 15:03:00 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

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

Tim Peters smart.patch:

EditorWindow.py:

+ Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the

widget's view of what a tab means.

+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.

+ Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,

but the name was plain wrong <wink>).

FormatParagraph.py: renamed use of get_selection_index.

AutoIndent.py:

+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.

+ Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.

+ Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest

preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require

inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).

+ Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using

get_selection_indices. The sole exception is in set_region, for which no

"set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.

+ Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph

cmd.

Thu Jun 10 17:48:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* FormatParagraph.py:

Code by Mark Hammond to format paragraphs embedded in comments.

Read the comments (which I reformatted using the new feature :-)

for some limitations.

* EditorWindow.py:

Added abstraction get_selection_index() (Mark Hammond). Also

reformatted some comment blocks to show off a cool feature I'm about

to check in next.

* ClassBrowser.py:

Adapt to the new pyclbr's support of listing top-level functions. If

this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage

Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.

(Hmm... Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy

of the new pyclbr.py!)

* AutoIndent.py:

Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the

list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the

end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be

commented out!

* CallTips.py:

Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for

class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function. Also updated

the test code to reflect your new "***" change.

* CallTipWindow.py:

Mark Hammond writes: Tim's suggestion of copying the font for the

CallTipWindow from the text control makes sense, and actually makes

the control look better IMO.

Wed Jun 9 20:34:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* CallTips.py:

Append "..." if the appropriate flag (for varargs) in co_flags is set.

Ditto "***" for kwargs.

Tue Jun 8 13:06:07 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* ReplaceDialog.py:

Hmm... Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block.

I think I like it better if it os, so here.

* ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo.

* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters:

+ Set usetabs=1. Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.

usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=

tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs

turned off. The only implication is that if you open a file whose first

indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and

set indentwidth to 8). Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for

PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark

probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).

+ Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line. The

"holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it

needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).

Mon Jun 7 15:38:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py:

Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code.

* PyParse.py: Tim Peters:

Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.

Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,

but makes more breathing room for other extensions.

Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put

""" at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start

typing in code. Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some

large fraction of a second. The new code gets indented correctly, despite

that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after

which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).

Fri Jun 4 19:21:19 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default.

If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it.

Thu Jun 3 14:32:16 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py:

New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes:

IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my

doctest.py <wink>.

As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a

method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in

whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the

EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.

* GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message.

* CallTips.py:

Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is

constructed.

Wed Jun 2 18:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* CallTips.py:

My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>.

Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>.

* CallTips.py:

A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup. Has some newer

stuff for getting the tip. Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events

for Unix. Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and

ButtonRelease events.

* CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py:

Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.)

* IdleHistory.py:

Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to

the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves

in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items.

* AutoIndent.py:

Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as

well: make three dialog routines instance variables.

* EditorWindow.py:

Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as

well: make three dialog routines instance variables.

Tue Jun 1 20:06:44 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* AutoIndent.py: Hah! A fix of my own to Tim's code!

Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were

missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,

even though they were in the menu. The new Unix bindings are now

the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).

* AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again:

The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module

I have <whew!>. You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with

5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then

adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on

my P5-166. Response time in real code appears instantaneous.

Fixed some bugs.

New feature: when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading

indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before

whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is

between the comma and the space:

def something(arg1, arg2):

^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER

arg2): # new line used to end up here

arg2): # but now lines up the way you expect

New hack: AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,

defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell. Reason: handling

the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1

lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a

bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module

docstrings often). PythonWin's shell should set this true too.

Persistent problem: strings containing def/class can still screw things up

completely. No improvement. Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and

consists of inserting e.g.

def _(): pass

(or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's

screwing them up. This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring

is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the

indentation behavior they see.

* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters again:

[Tim, after adding some bracket smarts to AutoIndent.py]

> ...

> What it can't possibly do without reparsing large gobs of text is

> suggest a reasonable indent level after you've *closed* a bracket

> left open on some previous line.

> ...

The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time. The

code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g.,

return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start :

^ indents to caret

i],

^ indents to caret

self.tabwidth)) + 1

^ indents to caret

It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash

continuation rules. It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it

happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1

buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to

see the start of the string, it's completely hosed. I can't repair that --

it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time.

AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls

how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made

user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly.

* PyParse.py: New file by Tim Peters:

One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was

called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its

functionality.

* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters keeps revising this module (more to come):

Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding.

Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify. I

think prompting for this is good now: they're usually at-most-once-per-file

commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default

anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means.

Irony: for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's

non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc

approach.

* EditorWindow.py:

1. Catch NameError on import (could be raised by case mismatch on Windows).

2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling

ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget

takes care of the watch cursor.

3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class

browser on buffer without filename.

* Icons/minusnode.gif, Icons/plusnode.gif: Missed a few.

* ClassBrowser.py, PathBrowser.py: Rewritten based on TreeWidget.py

* ObjectBrowser.py: Object browser, based on TreeWidget.py.

* TreeWidget.py: Tree widget done right.

* ToolTip.py: As yet unused code for tool tips.

* ScriptBinding.py:

Ensure sys.argv[0] is the script name on Run Script.

* ZoomHeight.py: Move zoom height functionality to separate function.

* Icons/folder.gif, Icons/openfolder.gif, Icons/python.gif, Icons/tk.gif:

A few icons used by ../TreeWidget.py and its callers.

* AutoIndent.py: New version by Tim Peters improves block opening test.

Fri May 21 04:46:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

* Attic/History.py, PyShell.py: Rename History to IdleHistory.

Add isatty() to pseudo files.

* StackViewer.py: Make initial stack viewer wider

* TODO.txt: New wishes

* AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py:

Much improved autoindent and handling of tabs,

by Tim Peters.

Mon May 3 15:49:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

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

Tim Peters writes:

I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a

different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in

EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better

idea?

Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think

you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,

including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and

backspacing.

* WidgetRedirector.py: Tim Peters writes:

[W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two

possible glitches. In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to

rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name

"previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>.
