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.
* In config, put dump test code in a function; run it and unittest in 'if __name__ == '__main__'.
* Add class config.ConfigChanges based on changes_class_v4.py on bpo issue.
* Add class test_config.ChangesTest, partly based on configdialog_tests_v1.py on bpo issue.
* Revise configdialog to use ConfigChanges, mostly as specified in tracker msg297804.
* Revise test_configdialog to match configdialog changes. All tests pass in both files.
* Remove configdialog functions unused or moved to ConfigChanges.
Cheryl Sabella contributed parts of the patch.
* 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.
SectionName. These split class GetCfgSectionNameDialog from
configSectionNameDialog.py, temporarily renamed config_sec.py in 3.7.9a2.
More Query subclasses are planned.
tkinter.Variable class. They replace old methods trace_variable, trace,
trace_vdelete and trace_vinfo that use obsolete Tcl commands and might
not work in future versions of Tcl.
This follows the previous patch that changed idlelib file names.
Class names that matched old module names are not changed.
Change idlelib imports in turtledemo.__main__.
Exception: config-extensions.def. Previously, extension section
names, file names, and class names had to match. Changing section
names would create cross-version conflicts in config-extensions.cfg
(user customizations). Instead map old names to new file names
at point of import in editor.EditorWindow.load_extension.
Patch extensively tested with test_idle, idle_test.htest.py, a custom
import-all test, running IDLE in a console to catch messages,
and testing each menu item. Based on a patch by Al Sweigart.
