Tue Feb 15 17:17:58 2000 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* 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.

* 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>.
Fri Apr 30 19:39:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* __init__.py: Support for using idle as a package.
* PathBrowser.py:
Avoid listing files more than once (e.g. foomodule.so has two hits:
once for foo + module.so, once for foomodule + .so).
Mon Apr 26 22:20:38 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* ChangeLog, ColorDelegator.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters strikes again:
Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded! The colorizer is working with
"line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of
the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of
baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a
backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>).
Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick. CPU usage goes way up when
typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for
me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine). Most of the
changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me
reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to
Fri Apr 23 14:01:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* EditorWindow.py:
Provide full arguments to __import__ so it works in packagized IDLE.
Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* help.txt:
