Tips:
|
||||
Other preferences:
|
||||
|
||||
To change the font on Windows, open EditorWindow.py and change
|
||||
text['font'] = ("verdana", 8)
|
||||
text['font'] = ("lucida console", 8)
|
||||
to, e.g.,
|
||||
text['font'] = ("courier new", 10)
|
||||
|
||||
To change the Python syntax colors, edit the tagdefs table in
|
||||
ColorDelegator.py; to change the shell colors, edit the tagdefs
|
||||
table in PyShell.py.
|
||||
To change keyboard bindings, edit Bindings.py
|
||||
|
||||
Command line usage:
|
||||
|
||||
idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ...
|
||||
|
||||
-c command run this command
|
||||
-d enable debugger
|
||||
-e edit mode; arguments are files to be edited
|
||||
-s run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP first
|
||||
-t title set title of shell window
|
||||
|
||||
If there are arguments:
|
||||
|
||||
If -e is used, arguments are files opened for editing and
|
||||
sys.argv reflects the arguments passed to IDLE itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, if -c is used, all arguments are placed in
|
||||
sys.argv[1:...], with sys.argv[0] set to '-c'.
|
||||
|
||||
Otherwise, if neither -e nor -c is used, the first
|
||||
argument is a script which is executed with the remaining
|
||||
arguments in sys.argv[1:...] and sys.argv[0] set to the
|
||||
script name. If the script name is '-', no script is
|
||||
executed but an interactive Python session is started; the
|
||||
arguments are still available in sys.argv.
