parsing functions in support of auto-indent weren't expecting Unicode
strings, but text.get() can now return them (although it remains muddy as
to exactly when or why that can happen). Fixed that with a Big Hammer.
subset of Win32 ShellExecute's functionality. Guido wants this because
IDLE's Help -> Docs function currently crashes his machine because of a
conflict between his version of Norton AntiVirus (6.10.20) and MS's
_popen. Docs for startfile are being mailed to Fred (or just read the
docstring -- it tells the whole story).
Changed webbrowser.py to use os.startfile instead of os.popen on Windows.
Changed IDLE's EditorWindow.py to pass an absolute path for the docs
(hardcoding ShellExecute's "directory" arg to "." as used to be done let
IDLE work, but made the startfile command exceedingly obscure for other
uses -- the MS docs are terrible, of course, & still not sure I
understand it).
Note that Windows Python must link with shell32.lib now! That's where
ShellExecute lives.
The cause was that the replace code necessarily used a PCRE internal
function to to template expansion.
The fix changes the code to use an SRE internal if SRE is used, and a
PCRE internal if SRE is used; in a way that should work with 1.5.2.
The solution can be sped up tremendously under the assumption that the
choice between sre and pre is not changed during the execution of the
program; especially replace-all will be slow.
But I'll leave that to someone else.
created. This allows the application-specific Tkinter
initialization to be executed if present. Also pass an explicit
className parameter to the Tk() constructor.
This closes SourceForge bug #110618.
Instead of using Netscape through os.system(), use the new
browser.open() function to load the documentation on the
default browser. On Windows, this will use the installed
documentation if it exists, instead of hitting python.org.
Fix bad auto-indent I recently introduced when replacing the regexp that
could cause re to blow up:
if or_any_other_block_opener:
# one indenting comment line
^ cursor ended up at the caret (the bug)
^ but belongs here (the post-patch behavior)
and output windows) so that it if it doesn't succeed with the line
at the cursor, it tries the line before that. This is handy with
tracebacks, where my natural tendency is to click in the displayed
source line rather than in the file/line indicator just above it.
Now I can indulge this tendency.
I factored out a helper and changed the error handling so that a
non-existing file is treated as if the line didn't match -- this is
handy because some function calls (e.g. "foo.bar(1)") match the grep
pattern.
cursor, erase that whitespace first. This avoids a particularly
confusing case where hitting Return at the end of the command didn't
do what it was expected to do -- because it wasn't considered to be at
the end of the command. Now it is.

Changes the one regexp in PyParse capable of making the re module blow the C
stack when passed unreasonable <0.9 wink> program text. Jeremy Hylton
provoked this with a program of the form:
x = (1,
2,
... # 9997 lines deleted here
10000,
)
Programs "like this" will no longer (no matter how many lines they contain)
trigger re death. OTOH, you can now make another class of unreasonable
program that will take much longer to parse.

of the current module. It also runs the tabnanny to catch any
inconsistent tabs.
Also did a little bit of refactoring: added an errorbox() method to
simplify the display of error dialogs.
(Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)
Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
location can't be predicted). Windows solution TBD.
"""
If the filename being complained about contains a space, enclose the

The reason is simply that when I try and parse tabnanny's output, filenames
with spaces make it very difficult to determine where the filename stops

I slightly changed the patch (use 'in' instead of string.find()) and
arbitrarily bumped the __version__ variable up to 6.

It closes more than before.
Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
_close(). It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.
EditorWindow.py:
+ Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
widget's view of what a tab means.
+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.
+ Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
but the name was plain wrong <wink>).
FormatParagraph.py: renamed use of get_selection_index.
AutoIndent.py:
+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.
+ Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.
+ Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).
+ Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
get_selection_indices. The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
"set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.
+ Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
cmd.
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!)
+ 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).
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).
