In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click,
movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right
by control-BACKSPACE/DEL.
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs one startup file in the Shell window
before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
option.
dump is similar to print but less flexible. lastopenbracketpos is now always initialized in _study2, as was stmt_bracketing, so the class settings are not needed. get_last_open_bracket_pos is never called.
GUI test test_file_buttons() only looks at initial ascii-only lines,
but failed on systems where open() defaults to 'ascii' because
readline() internally reads and decodes far enough ahead to encounter
a non-ascii character in CREDITS.txt.
When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing
and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added
to tk event exception tracebacks. The traceback is now the same
as when event handling is driven by user code. Patch based on
a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka.
Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line.
This simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted.
Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.
Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode
Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a
character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters
a better idea of what they might see in the IDLE shell and editors.
To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are
re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions.
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the option of
creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. Passing a full file
name instead of pieces assumed to come from a .py file opens the possibility
of browsing python files that do not end in .py.
The original module-level class and method browser became a module
browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
'Strip trailing whitespace' is not limited to spaces. Wording caters to beginners who
do know know the meaning of 'whitespace'. Multiline string literals are not skipped.
