Guido van Rossum 2ca7862e97 Add primitive printing support for Unix and Windows. 2002-06-10 18:52:02 +00:00
Guido van Rossum f90d529229 Provisional fix for writefile() [SF bug # 541730].
The problem was that an exception can occur in the text.get() call or
in the write() call, when the text buffer contains non-ASCII
characters.  This causes the previous contents of the file to be lost.

The provisional fix is to call str(self.text.get(...)) *before*
opening the file, so that if the exception occurs, we never open the
file.

Two orthogonal better solutions have to wait for policy decisions:

1. We could try to encode the data as Latin-1 or as UTF-8; but that
   would require IDLE to grow a notion of file encoding which requires
   more thought.

2. We could make backups before overwriting a file.  This requires
   more thought because it needs to be fast and cross-platform and
   configurable.

Guido van Rossum 504b0bf066 Checking in IDLE 0.2.
Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
see extend.txt.  Some sample extensions have been provided, and
some existing code has been converted to extensions.  Probably the
biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
search and replace, and even search in files (grep).

This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
