I've found two places where smtplib.py sends an extra trailing space
on command lines to the SMTP server. I don't know if this ever causes
any problems, but I'd prefer to be on the safe side. The enclosed
patch removes the extra space.
all processing instruction target names containing 'xml' were
rejected, instead (as the standard rejects) only the name 'xml' itself
(or case variants thereof).
I guess in 1.5.2 a new module, whichdb, was added that attempts to
divine the nature of a database file. This module doesn't know anything
about Berkeley DB v2 files. In v2, Sleepycat added a 12-byte null pad
in front of the old magic numbers (at least for hash and btree files).
I've been using v2 for awhile and upgrading to 1.5.2 broke all my
anydbm.open calls. I believe the following patch corrects the problem.
+ Set usetabs=1. Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.
usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=
tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs
turned off. The only implication is that if you open a file whose first
indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and
set indentwidth to 8). Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for
PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark
probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).
+ Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line. The
"holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it
needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).
appreciably. Triple-quoted strings no longer confuse it, nor nested
classes or defs, nor comments starting in column 1. Chews thru
Tkinter.py in < 3 seconds for me; doctest.py no longer confuses it; no
longer missing methods in PyShell.py; etc. Also captures defs
starting in column 1 now, but ignores them; an interface should be
added so that IDLE's class browser can show the top-level functions
too.
'install_site_lib' and install_site_platlib' on non-POSIX platforms.
Should at least work for NT, as this is adopted from Amos Latteier's NT
patches. Also added extensive comments bitching about the inadequacy of
the current model, both under POSIX and NT (and probably other) systems.
'run_command()' to refer to it before attempting to run a command --
that way, command classes can freely invoke other commands without fear
of duplicate execution.
Beefed up some comments and docstrings.
It wasn't hard to speed pyclbr by a factor of 3, and I'll attach an
experimental patch for that (experimental because barely tested). Uncomment
the new "String" stuff and it will deal with strings correctly (pyclbr
currently ignores the possibility), but that slows it down a lot. Still
faster in the end than current pyclbr, but-- frankly --I'd rather have the
dramatic speedup!
specifier came from an int expression instead of a constant in the
format, a negative width was truncated to zero instead of taken to
mean the same as that negative constant plugged into the format. E.g.
"(%*s)" % (-5, "foo") yielded "(foo)" while "(%-5s)" yields "(foo )".
Now both yield the latter -- like sprintf() in C.
Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.
Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,
but makes more breathing room for other extensions.
Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put
""" at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start
typing in code. Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some
large fraction of a second. The new code gets indented correctly, despite
that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after
which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).
IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
doctest.py <wink>.
As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in
whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.
content-type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded only when the method
is POST. Ditto for when the content-type is unrecognized -- only
fall back to urlencoded with POST.
stuff for getting the tip. Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events
for Unix. Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and
ButtonRelease events.
Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were
missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,
even though they were in the menu. The new Unix bindings are now
the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).
The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module
I have <whew!>. You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with
5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then
adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on
my P5-166. Response time in real code appears instantaneous.
Fixed some bugs.
New feature: when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading
indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before
whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is
between the comma and the space:
def something(arg1, arg2):
^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER
arg2): # new line used to end up here
arg2): # but now lines up the way you expect
New hack: AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,
defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell. Reason: handling
the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1
lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a
bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module
docstrings often). PythonWin's shell should set this true too.
Persistent problem: strings containing def/class can still screw things up
completely. No improvement. Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and
consists of inserting e.g.
def _(): pass
(or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's
screwing them up. This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring
is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the
indentation behavior they see.

The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time. The
code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g.,
return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start :
^ indents to caret
i],
^ indents to caret
self.tabwidth)) + 1
^ indents to caret
It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash
continuation rules. It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it
happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1
buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to
see the start of the string, it's completely hosed. I can't repair that --
it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time.
AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls
how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made
user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly.
One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was
called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its
functionality.
Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding.
Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify. I
think prompting for this is good now: they're usually at-most-once-per-file
commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default
anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means.
Irony: for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's
non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc
approach.
2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling
ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget
takes care of the watch cursor.
3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class
browser on buffer without filename.
