plan is to intercept the user's atexit functions and run them under
IDLE's control.

2. Reduce default font to 10 pt and increase default window height to give
a better initial impression on Windows.

SF Patch 686254 "Run IDLEfork from any directory without set-up"
Allows IDLE to run when not installed and cwd is not the IDLE directory.
I took the liberty of moving it to the startup scripts since once IDLEfork
is again a part of Python it will be superfluous and I don't want it to
be forgotten. But it is very useful for those using IDLEfork standalone!

4. Clarify the fact that breakpoints set or cleared after a file is
saved will revert to the saved state if the file is closed without

5. If user tries to exit or restart when user code is running, interrupt
the user code. This helps to eliminate occasional hanging

This bug, henceforth designated Freddy, was due to the mistaken
elimination of the KeyboardInterrupt exception at the previous revision.
PyShell's unix_terminate hammer was masking the problem on Linux. On W2K
the subprocess MainThread was trying to print the exception after the
SockThread had ceased to service the socket. The subprocess would then
detach and spin when the GUI created the new subprocess.
Modified Files: run.py
2. run.py: move exception printing to toplevel to allow access from main()
3. Clarification in PyShell.py: when the subprocess is restarted, the
debugger GUI is reused with a fresh instance of the subprocess
debugger.

1. Move subprocess socket handling to a subthread - "SockThread".
2. In the subprocess, implement a queue and global completion and exit
flags. Execute code after it is passed through the queue. (Currently,
user code is executed in SockThread. The next phase of development will
move the tail of the queue to MainThread.)
3. Implement an RPC message used to shut down the execution server.
4. Improve normal and exception subprocess exits.
(At this checkin a "pass loop" interrupt doesn't work on any platform. It
will be restored for all platforms once user code execution is moved to
MainThread.)

Clean up the way IDLEfork handles termination of the subprocess, restore
ability to interrupt user code in Windows (so long as it's doing terminal
I/O).
1. Handle subprocess interrupts in Windows with an RPC message.
2. Run/F5 will restart the subprocess even if user code is running.
3. Restart the subprocess if the link is dropped.
4. Exit IDLE cleanly even during I/O.
4. In rpc.py, remove explicit calls to statelock, let the condition
variable handle acquire() and release().

SF Bug 676398 Doesn't handle non-built-in exceptions

exceptions, including subclasses created in the shell without
introducing excessive complexity in the RPC mechanism.
2. Provide access to linecache from subprocess to support this.
M RemoteDebugger.py
M rpc.py
Fix the incorrect shell exception tracebacks generated when running
under debugger control:
1. Use rpc.SocketIO.asynccall() instead of remotecall() to handle the
IdbProxy.run() command.
2. Add a 'shell' attribute to RemoteDebugger.IdbProxy to allow setting
of ModifiedInterpreter's active_seq attribute from RemoteDebugger code.
3. Cleanup PyShell.ModifiedInterpreter.runcode() and remove ambiguity
regarding use of begin/endexecuting().
4. In runcode() and cleanup_traceback() use 'console' instead of 'file' to
denote the entity to which the exception traceback is printed.
5. Enhance cleanup_traceback() so if the traceback is pruned entirely away
(the error is in IDLE internals) it will be displayed in its entirety
instead.
6. ModifiedInterpreter.runcode() now prints ERROR RPC returns to both
console and __stderr__.
7. Make a small tweak to the rpc.py debug messages.

- Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list.
- Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the
Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is
validated, as before.)
- Additional Help Sources were not being posted on the Help menu in the
order entered. Implement sorting the list by [HelpFiles] 'option'
number.
- Add Browse button to New Help Source dialog. Arrange to start in
Python/Doc if platform is Windows, otherwise start in current directory.
- Put the Additional Help Sources directly on the Help menu instead of in
an Extra Help cascade menu. Rearrange the Help menu so the Additional
Help Sources come last. Update help.txt appropriately.

4. Update the help menu to add these features.
5. Update the help menu to put text in same order as the menus.
6. Correct a capitalization inconsistency on the Edit menu: Expand Word
7. Rename the "Debug" menu to be "Shell": it's doing more now.
8. Rearrange the "Shell" menu to make the StackViewer entries adjacent.
9. Add a get_geometry method to EditorWindow, which may be of use in
making window positions persisent.
10. Make <ctrl-v> the "Classic Windows" paste key.
11. Restore decorum on the Help menu by removing "Advice". As Guido said,
things will never be the same. Thanks, David!
M PyShell.py
1. PyShell Rev 1.39, EditorWindow Rev 1.37 fix was not handling a
multiline prompt.
2. The same fix introduced a bug where hitting <enter> at a previous
prompt-only line would copy the prompt to the iomark.
3. Move the setting of sys.ps1 earlier, into PyShell.main(), to allow
this code to work before a shell is started up.
4. If cursor is on the input line in the prompt, and you hit <enter>,
process the line instead of complaining.
5. If line has no stdin range (this includes the last line before shell
restart) strip any prompt before recalling.

M setup.py
Switch back to installing IDLE as a package. The IDLE GUI and the
subprocess will both attempt to start up via the package mechanism, but if
IDLE is not yet installed it is possible to run by calling python idle.py
in the IDLE source directory, or to add the source directory to sys.path.
One advantage of doing it this way is IDLE stays off sys.path.

2. PyShell and idlever reflect Rev 0.9a0
3. setup.py modified to install IDLE as a collection of modules with
a .pth file living at the idlelib level in site-packages. This was
done to make it easier to run from the source directory prior to
installing IDLE. This approach may change back to the package
technique depending on what happens with the Mac installation
development.
directory becomes sys.path[0]. What is wanted is the directory from which
IDLE was called.
Insert the current working directory in the path if it isn't there
already.
M idle
M setup.py
To be able to run from the source directory or from an installed version
of IDLE, and also to allow the subprocess to find run(), Python needs to
have the idlelib package on its path.
1. Modify setup.py to supply a .pth file living at same level as idlelib
2. Move boolcheck to PyShell.py
3. Remove boolcheck and path setting code from the "idle" script
