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.
One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was
called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its
functionality.
