README.txt: an index to idlelib files and the IDLE menu.
|
|
|
|
IDLE is Python's Integrated Development and Learning
|
|
Environment. The user documentation is part of the Library Reference and
|
|
is available in IDLE by selecting Help => IDLE Help. This README documents
|
|
idlelib for IDLE developers and curious users.
|
|
|
|
IDLELIB FILES lists files alphabetically by category,
|
|
with a short description of each.
|
|
|
|
IDLE MENU show the menu tree, annotated with the module
|
|
or module object that implements the corresponding function.
|
|
|
|
This file is descriptive, not prescriptive, and may have errors
|
|
and omissions and lag behind changes in idlelib.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IDLELIB FILES
|
|
Implementation files not in IDLE MENU are marked (nim).
|
|
Deprecated files and objects are listed separately as the end.

IDLE MENUS
|
|
Top level items and most submenu items are defined in mainmenu.
|
|
Extensions add submenu items when active. The names given are
|
|
found, quoted, in one of these modules, paired with a '<<pseudoevent>>'.
|
|
Each pseudoevent is bound to an event handler. Some event handlers
|
|
call another function that does the actual work. The annotations below
|
|
are intended to at least give the module where the actual work is done.

CODE STYLE -- Generally PEP 8.
|
|
|
|
import
|
|
------
|
|
Put import at the top, unless there is a good reason otherwise.
|
|
PEP 8 says to group stdlib, 3rd-party dependencies, and package imports.
|
|
For idlelib, the groups are general stdlib, tkinter, and idlelib.
|
|
Sort modules within each group, except that tkinter.ttk follows tkinter.
|
|
Sort 'from idlelib import mod1' and 'from idlelib.mod2 import object'
|
|
together by module, ignoring within module objects.
|
|
Put 'import __main__' after other idlelib imports.
|
|
|
|
Imports only needed for testing are put not at the top but in an
|
|
htest function def or "if __name__ == '__main__'" clause.
|
|
|
|
Within module imports like "from idlelib.mod import class" may cause
|
|
circular imports to deadlock. Even without this, circular imports may
|
|
require at least one of the imports to be delayed until a function call.
