You can switch database by just loading the new one; the list window
and nearest colors adapt to the new database.
Some reorganizing of code. Also, the name of the database file is
stored in the ~/.pynche pickle. If it can't be loaded, fallbacks are
used.
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
The test really wanted to distinguish between the two. So now we test
for __GLIBC__ instead. I have confirmed that this works for glibc and
I have an email from Christian Tanzer confirming that it works for
libc5, so it should be fine.
there are two new commands:
Import module (F5) imports or reloads the module and also adds its
name to the __main__ namespace. This gets executed in the PyShell
window under control of its debug settings.
Run script (Control-F5) is similar but executes the contents of the
file directly in the __main__ namespace.
idle.py -e file ... -- to edit files
idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
-d -- enable debugger
-s -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
-t title -- set Python Shell window's title
sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.
Other changes:
- the environment in which commands are executed is now the __main__ module
- explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
- new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
- a few small nits
