IDLE History
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
This file contains the release messages for previous IDLE releases.
|
||||
As you read on you go back to the dark ages of IDLE's history.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
IDLE fork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>
|
||||
|
||||
This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of
|
||||
2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks,
|
||||
you get to keep both pieces.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or
|
||||
post to the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
|
||||
(making it clear that you are using this modified version of IDLE).
|
||||
|
||||
Changes:
|
||||
|
||||
The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes
|
||||
programs in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC
|
||||
mechanism to an OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing
|
||||
unnamed programs (through a temporary file). It does not yet support
|
||||
debugging.
|
||||
|
||||
When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped
|
||||
to exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back
|
||||
into the user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
|
||||
|
||||
The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved. In particular,
|
||||
it now supports a readline() function used to implement user input,
|
||||
and a scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of
|
||||
a previous run by scrolling it out of the window.
|
||||
|
||||
Startup behavior has been changed. By default IDLE starts up with
|
||||
just a blank editor window, rather than an interactive window. Opening
|
||||
a file in such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of
|
||||
that window instead of creating another window. Because of the need to
|
||||
have a well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of
|
||||
IDLE can be running. Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to
|
||||
report their command line arguments to the copy already running.
|
||||
|
||||
The menus have been reorganized. In particular, the excessively large
|
||||
'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'.
|
||||
|
||||
'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is
|
||||
present.
|
||||
|
||||
A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation
|
||||
instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent.
|
||||
|
||||
New modules:
|
||||
ExecBinding.py Executes program through loader
|
||||
loader.py Bootstraps user program
|
||||
protocol.py RPC protocol
|
||||
Remote.py User-process interpreter
|
||||
spawn.py OS-specific code to start programs
|
||||
|
||||
Files modified:
|
||||
autoindent.py ( bindings tweaked )
|
||||
bindings.py ( menus reorganized )
|
||||
config.txt ( execbinding enabled )
|
||||
editorwindow.py ( new menus, fixed 'Python Documentation' )
|
||||
filelist.py ( hook for "open in same window" )
|
||||
formatparagraph.py ( bindings tweaked )
|
||||
idle.bat ( removed absolute pathname )
|
||||
idle.pyw ( weird bug due to import with same name? )
|
||||
iobinding.py ( open in same window, EOL convention )
|
||||
keydefs.py ( bindings tweaked )
|
||||
outputwindow.py ( readline, scroll_clear, etc )
|
||||
pyshell.py ( changed startup behavior )
|
||||
readme.txt ( <Recursion on file with id=1234567> )
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
IDLE 0.5 - February 2000
|
||||
------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based
|
||||
IDE for Python.
|
||||
|
||||
For news about this release, see the file NEWS.txt. (For a more
|
||||
detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.)
|
||||
|
||||
FEATURES
|
||||
|
||||
IDLE has the following features:
|
||||
|
||||
- coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk)
|
||||
|
||||
- cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, there are
|
||||
currently problems with Tcl/Tk)
|
||||
|
||||
- multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing
|
||||
and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips
|
||||
|
||||
- Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter)
|
||||
|
||||
- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step)
|
||||
|
||||
USAGE
|
||||
|
||||
The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able
|
||||
to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell. On Windows, you can
|
||||
run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up
|
||||
a DOS console. If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows,
|
||||
use the batch file idle.bat.
|
||||
|
||||
Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed,
|
||||
not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option.
|
||||
Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options.
|
||||
|
||||
IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with a
|
||||
Python 1.5.2 distribution. (An older version of IDLE is distributed
|
||||
with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on top of it.)
|
||||
|
||||
COPYRIGHT
|
||||
|
||||
IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice
|
||||
