"Amazing. A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually
found a bug here. Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from class
OutputWindow. Method PyShell.close()
wants to invoke its parent method, but because PyShell long ago was
inherited from class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes
PyShelEditorWindow.close(self). Now, class PyShellEditorWindow itself
derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close() method from
there without overriding it. Under the old rules,
PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted to
the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was
OutputWindow.close. Under the new rules, the unbound method is
restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is
PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error." --GvR
"Taught IDLE's autoident parser that "yield" is a keyword that begins a
stmt. Along w/ the preceding change to keyword.py, making all this
work w/ a future-stmt just looks harder and harder." --tim_one

"Delete goodname() method, which is unused. Add gotofileline(), a
convenience method which I intend to use in a
variant. Rename test() to _test()." --GvR
This was an interesting merge. The join completely missed removing
goodname(), which was adjacent, but outside of, a small conflict.
I only caught it by comparing the 1.1.3.2/1.1.3.3 diff. CVS ain't
infallible.
"Remove legacy support for the BrowserControl module; the webbrowser
module has been included since Python 2.0, and that is the preferred
interface." --fdrake
Merged the following py-cvs revs without conflict:
1.29 Reduce copyright text output at startup
1.30 Delay setting sys.args until Tkinter is fully initialized
1.31 Whitespace normalization
1.32 Turn syntax warning into error when interactive
1.33 Fix warning initialization bug
Note that module is extensively modified wrt py-cvs
