* 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.
This avoids a failure in at least one case when running only a single
test method rather than all tests in the module.
The issue came up when testing the following on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit:
HighPageTest.test_highlight_target_text_mouse
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.
Part 3 of 3, continuing PR #7689. This covers 14 idlelib modules and their tests,
rpc to zoomheight except for run (already done) and tooltip (being done separately).
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.
