The Py2.3 updates to the pyclbr module return both Class and Function
objects. The IDLE ClassBrowser module only knew about Class and could
not handle objects which did not define "super".
Fixed by adding a guard.
(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)
This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.
this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.
(Hmm... Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
of the new pyclbr.py!)
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.
