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.
idle.py:
Load the config files before anything else happens
XXX Need to define standard way to get files relative to the
IDLE install dir
PyShell.py:
ColorDelegator.py:
Get color defns out of IdleConf instead of IdlePrefs
EditorWindow.py:
Replace hard-coded font & window size with config options
Get extension names via IdleConf.getextensions
extend.py:
Obsolete. Extensions defined in config file.
ParenMatch.py:
Use config file for extension options.
Revise comment about parser requirements.
Simplify logic on find returning None.
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.
standard library. Added some comments:
# XXX Note: this is now a standard library module.
# XXX The API needs to undergo changes however; the current code is too
# XXX script-like. This will be addressed later.
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.
