The Code Context menu label now toggles between Show/Hide Code Context.
The Zoom Height menu now toggles between Zoom/Restore Height.
Zoom Height has moved from the Window menu to the Options menu.

The System Preferences Dock "prefer tabs always" setting disables some
IDLE features. Menus are a bit different than as described for Windows
and Linux.
There is only one trivial change to idle.rst. Nearly all the changes to help.html are the elimination of chapter and section numbers on headers due to changes in the build system. help.py no longer requires header numbering.
* make CallTip and ToolTip sub-classes of a common abstract base class
* remove ListboxToolTip (unused and ugly)
* greatly increase test coverage
* tested on Windows, Linux and macOS
Import pyshell first in htest to call SetProcessDpiAwareness on Windows
before tkinter.Tk() is called for the htest. Apparently, 'root.destroy()'
undoes a previous 'root = Tk()'. Since IDLE unittests always destroy roots,
a unittest before an htest does not require anything more to work right.
Since part of the purpose of human-viewed tests is to determine that
widgets look right, it is important that they look the same for testing
as when running IDLE.
Fix-up class name duplication in PR #7807. Combined effect is that
module calltips and its class CallTips are now calltip and Calltip.
In module calltip_w class CallTip is now CalltipWindow.
Create a template for minimally testing a tkinter-using module by importing it and instantiating its class(es). Add a test file for all non-startup IDLE modules. Edit existing files and update coverage. This is part 1 of 3, covering the 21 autocomplete to help modules and touching 33 idlelib files.
On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python binary
unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this should
make text and lines sharper. It should otherwise have no effect.
Using a magnifier, I determined that the improvement comes from horizontal and
lines being better lined up with the monitor pixels. I checked that this call causes
no problem on any Windows buildbot, including the Win7 buildbots. Unlike most
IDLE patches, this one can be easily reverted by users by removing a few lines,
at the top of idlelib/pyshell.py.
Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed
number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor
box. The change also applies to the shell and grep output windows,
but not to read-only text views.
The difference from before is that the settings are now on the
Highlights tab instead of the Extensions tab and only change one theme
at a time instead of all themes. The default for light themes is black
on light gray, as before. The default for the IDLE Dark theme is white
on dark gray, which better fits the dark theme.
When one starts IDLE from a console and loads a custom theme without
definitions for 'context', one will see a warning message on the console.
To stop the warning, go to Options => Configure IDLE => Highlights,
select the custom theme if not selected already, select 'Code Context',
and select foreground and background colors.
Instead of displaying a fixed number of lines, some blank, Code Context
now displays the variable number of actual context lines. When there
are no context lines, it shows a single blank line to indicate that the
feature is turned on.
The Code Context configuration option is changed from 'numlines'
(default 3) to 'maxlines' (default 15) to avoid possible interference
between user settings for the old and new versions of Code Context.
In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click,
movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right
by control-BACKSPACE/DEL.
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs one startup file in the Shell window
before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
option.
dump is similar to print but less flexible. lastopenbracketpos is now always initialized in _study2, as was stmt_bracketing, so the class settings are not needed. get_last_open_bracket_pos is never called.
GUI test test_file_buttons() only looks at initial ascii-only lines,
but failed on systems where open() defaults to 'ascii' because
readline() internally reads and decodes far enough ahead to encounter
a non-ascii character in CREDITS.txt.
When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing
and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added
to tk event exception tracebacks. The traceback is now the same
as when event handling is driven by user code. Patch based on
a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka.
Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line.
This simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted.
Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.
Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode
Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a
character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters
a better idea of what they might see in the IDLE shell and editors.
To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are
re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions.
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the option of
creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. Passing a full file
name instead of pieces assumed to come from a .py file opens the possibility
of browsing python files that do not end in .py.
The original module-level class and method browser became a module
browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
'Strip trailing whitespace' is not limited to spaces. Wording caters to beginners who
do know know the meaning of 'whitespace'. Multiline string literals are not skipped.
* News blurb.
About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional
extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for
users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion.
The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings
for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding
in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are
defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config-
extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-
extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', '<<expand-word>>',
'<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', '<<format-paragraph>>',
'<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and '<<zoom-height>>'. Any
(global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will not affect their keyset-
specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice versa.
Inital patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy.
This is the first half of a patch similar to the one for for bpo-31205. It is being split into 2 PRs to avoid what happened with PR-3096 -- an incomprehensible diff that could not be cleanly backported to 3.6. This half copies several methods of ConfigDialog and turns them into a new class.
Idlelib.calltips.get_argspec now uses inspect.signature instead of inspect.getfullargspec, like help() does. This improves the signature in the call tip in a few different cases, including builtins converted to provide a signature. A message is added if the object is not callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only parameters.
Patch by Louie Lu.
The notebook looks a bit better. It will work better with separate page classes. Traversal of widgets by Tab works better. Switching tabs with keys becomes possible. The font sample box works better at large font sizes.
One of the two simulated click tests no longer works. This will be investigated while fixing a bug with the widget itself.
Instance tracers manages pairs consisting of a tk variable and a
callback function. When tracing is turned on, setting the variable
calls the function. Test coverage for the new class is 100%.
Finish resorting the 72 ConfigDialog methods into 7 groups that represent the dialog, action buttons, and font, highlight, keys, general, and extension pages. This will help with continuing to add tests and improve the pages. It will enable splitting ConfigDialog into 6 or 7 more comprehensible classes.
* In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_page_general.
Move related functions to follow this. Simplify some attribute names.
* In test_configdialog: Add tests for load and helplist functions.
Coverage for the general tab is now complete, and 63% overall.
In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab docstring. Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella). Move related functions to positions after the create widgets function.
In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent. Fix renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget. Adjust tests for movement of set_samples call. Add tests for load functions. Put all font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another. Except for two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions.
* Document causal event pathways in docstring.
* Simplify some attribute names.
* Rename test_bold_toggle_set_samples to make test_font_set fail.
* Fix test_font_set so not order dependent.
* Fix renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget.
* Add section to idlelib/idle-test/README.txt.
* Include check that branches are taken both ways.
* Exclude IDLE-specific code that does not run during unit tests.
Split TextViewer class into ViewWindow, ViewFrame, and TextFrame classes so that instances
of the latter two can be placed with other widgets within a multiframe window.
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
* Add 'parens' style to highlight both opener and closer.
* Make 'default' style, which is not default, a synonym for 'opener'.
* Make time-delay work the same with all styles.
* Add help for config dialog extensions tab, including parenmatch.
* Add new tests.
Original patch by Charles Wohlganger.
This happened because shortcut has a class binding and 'break' was not returned.
Fix other potential conflicts between IDLE and default key bindings.
* Add news item
* Update NEWS
Verify user-entered key sequences by trying to bind them with tk.
Add tests for all 3 validation functions.
Original patch by G Polo. Tests added by Cheryl Sabella.
Add "Misc/NEWS.d" directory tree for "blurb".
CPython workflow is changing! We're going to start using "blurb"
to manage Misc/NEWS entries:
https://github.com/python/core-workflow
(This will be a big win for release managers, honest.)
This checkin simply populates the "Misc/NEWS.d" subdirectory tree
so that people can start putting their news entries in there.
No other changes (yet).
