What's New in IDLE 3.7.2
|
||
Released on 2018-07-31?
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
bpo-34864: When starting IDLE on MacOS, warn if the system setting
|
||
"Prefer tabs when opening documents" is "Always". As previous
|
||
documented for this issue, running IDLE with this setting causes
|
||
problems. If the setting is changed while IDLE is running,
|
||
there will be no warning until IDLE is restarted.
|
||
|
||
bpo-35213: Where appropriate, use 'macOS' in idlelib.
|
||
|
||
bpo-34864: Document two IDLE on MacOS issues. The System Preferences
|
||
Dock "prefer tabs always" setting disables some IDLE features.
|
||
Menus are a bit different than as described for Windows and Linux.
|
||
|
||
bpo-35202: Remove unused imports in idlelib.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33000: Document that IDLE's shell has no line limit.
|
||
A program that runs indefinitely can overfill memory.
|
||
|
||
bpo-23220: Explain how IDLE's Shell displays output.
|
||
Add new subsection "User output in Shell".
|
||
|
||
bpo-35099: Improve the doc about IDLE running user code.
|
||
"IDLE -- console differences" is renamed "Running user code".
|
||
It mostly covers the implications of using custom sys.stdxxx objects.
|
||
|
||
bpo-35097: Add IDLE doc subsection explaining editor windows.
|
||
Topics include opening, title and status bars, .py* extension, and running.
|
||
|
||
Issue 35093: Document the IDLE document viewer in the IDLE doc.
|
||
Add a paragraph in "Help and preferences", "Help sources" subsection.
|
||
|
||
bpo-1529353: Explain Shell text squeezing in the IDLE doc.
|
||
|
||
bpo-35088: Update idlelib.help.copy_string docstring.
|
||
We now use git and backporting instead of hg and forward merging.
|
||
|
||
bpo-35087: Update idlelib help files for the current doc build.
|
||
The main change is the elimination of chapter-section numbers.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What's New in IDLE 3.7.1
|
||
Released on 2018-07-31?
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
bpo-1529353: Output over N lines (50 by default) is squeezed down to a button.
|
||
N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the
|
||
Settings dialog. Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by
|
||
right clicking on the output. Squeezed output can be expanded in place
|
||
by double-clicking the button or into the clipboard or a separate window
|
||
by right-clicking the button.
|
||
|
||
bpo-34548: Use configured color theme for read-only text views.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33839: Refactor ToolTip and CallTip classes; add documentation
|
||
and tests.
|
||
|
||
bpo-34047: Fix mouse wheel scrolling direction on macOS.
|
||
|
||
bpo-34275: Make calltips always visible on Mac.
|
||
Patch by Kevin Walzer.
|
||
|
||
bpo-34120: Fix freezing after closing some dialogs on Mac.
|
||
This is one of multiple regressions from using newer tcl/tk.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33975: Avoid small type when running htests.
|
||
Since part of the purpose of human-viewed tests is to determine that
|
||
widgets look right, it is important that they look the same for
|
||
testing as when running IDLE.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33905: Add test for idlelib.stackview.StackBrowser.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33924: Change mainmenu.menudefs key 'windows' to 'window'.
|
||
Every other menudef key is the lowercase version of the
|
||
corresponding main menu entry (in this case, 'Window').
|
||
|
||
bpo-33906: Rename idlelib.windows as window
|
||
Match Window on the main menu and remove last plural module name.
|
||
Change imports, test, and attribute references to match new name.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33917: Fix and document idlelib/idle_test/template.py.
|
||
The revised file compiles, runs, and tests OK. idle_test/README.txt
|
||
explains how to use it to create new IDLE test files.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33904: In rstrip module, rename class RstripExtension as Rstrip.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33907: For consistency and clarity, rename calltip objects.
|
||
Module calltips and its class CallTips are now calltip and Calltip.
|
||
In module calltip_w, class CallTip is now CalltipWindow.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33855: Minimally test all IDLE modules.
|
||
Standardize the test file format. Add missing test files that import
|
||
the tested module and perform at least one test. Check and record the
|
||
coverage of each test.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33856: Add 'help' to Shell's initial welcome message.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What's New in IDLE 3.7.0 (since 3.6.0)
|
||
Released on 2018-06-27
|
||
======================================
|
||
|
||
bpo-33656: On Windows, add API call saying that tk scales for DPI.
|
||
On Windows 8.1+ or 10, with DPI compatibility properties of the Python
|
||
binary unchanged, and a monitor resolution greater than 96 DPI, this
|
||
should make text and lines sharper and some colors brighter.
|
||
On other systems, it should have no effect. If you have a custom theme,
|
||
you may want to adjust a color or two. If perchance it make text worse
|
||
on your monitor, you can disable the ctypes.OleDLL call near the top of
|
||
pyshell.py and report the problem on python-list or idle-dev@python.org.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33768: Clicking on a context line moves that line to the top
|
||
of the editor window.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33763: Replace the code context label widget with a text widget.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33664: Scroll IDLE editor text by lines.
|
||
(Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed
|
||
number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor
|
||
box.) This change also applies to the shell and grep output windows,
|
||
but currently not to read-only text views.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33679: Enable theme-specific color configuration for Code Context.
|
||
(Previously, there was one code context foreground and background font
|
||
color setting, default or custom, on the extensions tab, that applied
|
||
to all themes.) For built-in themes, the foreground is the same as
|
||
normal text and the background is a contrasting gray. Context colors for
|
||
custom themes are set on the Hightlights tab along with other colors.
|
||
When one starts IDLE from a console and loads a custom theme without
|
||
definitions for 'context', one will see a warning message on the
|
||
console.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33642: Display up to maxlines non-blank lines for Code Context.
|
||
If there is no current context, show a single blank line. (Previously,
|
||
the Code Contex had numlines lines, usually with some blank.) The use
|
||
of a new option, 'maxlines' (default 15), avoids possible interference
|
||
with user settings of the old option, 'numlines' (default 3).
|
||
|
||
bpo-33628: Cleanup codecontext.py and its test.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32831: Add docstrings and tests for codecontext.py.
|
||
Coverage is 100%. Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33564: Code context now recognizes async as a block opener.
|
||
|
||
bpo-21474: Update word/identifier definition from ascii to unicode.
|
||
In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click,
|
||
movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right
|
||
by control-BACKSPACE/DEL.
|
||
|
||
bpo-33204: Consistently color invalid string prefixes.
|
||
A 'u' string prefix cannot be paired with either 'r' or 'f'.
|
||
IDLE now consistently colors as much of the prefix, starting at the
|
||
right, as is valid. Revise and extend colorizer test.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32984: Set __file__ while running a startup file.
|
||
Like Python, IDLE optionally runs 1 startup file in the Shell window
|
||
before presenting the first interactive input prompt. For IDLE,
|
||
option -s runs a file named in environmental variable IDLESTARTUP or
|
||
PYTHONSTARTUP; -r file runs file. Python sets __file__ to the startup
|
||
file name before running the file and unsets it before the first
|
||
prompt. IDLE now does the same when run normally, without the -n
|
||
option.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32940: Replace StringTranslatePseudoMapping with faster code.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32916: Change 'str' to 'code' in idlelib.pyparse and users.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32905: Remove unused code in pyparse module.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32874: IDLE - add pyparse tests with 97% coverage.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32837: IDLE - require encoding argument for textview.view_file.
|
||
Using the system and place-dependent default encoding for open()
|
||
is a bad idea for IDLE's system and location-independent files.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32826: Add "encoding=utf-8" to open() in IDLE's test_help_about.
|
||
GUI test test_file_buttons() only looks at initial ascii-only lines,
|
||
but failed on systems where open() defaults to 'ascii' because
|
||
readline() internally reads and decodes far enough ahead to encounter
|
||
a non-ascii character in CREDITS.txt.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32765: Update configdialog General tab create page docstring.
|
||
Add new widgets to the widget list.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32207: Improve tk event exception tracebacks in IDLE.
|
||
When tk event handling is driven by IDLE's run loop, a confusing
|
||
and distracting queue.EMPTY traceback context is no longer added
|
||
to tk event exception tracebacks. The traceback is now the same
|
||
as when event handling is driven by user code. Patch based on
|
||
a suggestion by Serhiy Storchaka.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32164: Delete unused file idlelib/tabbedpages.py.
|
||
Use of TabbedPageSet in configdialog was replaced by ttk.Notebook.
|
||
|
||
bpo-32100: Fix old and new bugs in pathbrowser; improve tests.
|
||
Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31860: The font sample in the settings dialog is now editable.
|
||
Edits persist while IDLE remains open.
|
||
Patch by Serhiy Storchake and Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31858: Restrict shell prompt manipulation to the shell.
|
||
Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line. This
|
||
simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted.
|
||
Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-28603: Fix a TypeError that caused a shell restart when printing
|
||
a traceback that includes an exception that is unhashable.
|
||
Patch by Zane Bitter.
|
||
|
||
bpo-13802: Use non-Latin characters in the Font settings sample.
|
||
Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode
|
||
Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a
|
||
character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters
|
||
a better idea of what they might see in the shell and editors.
|
||
|
||
To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are
|
||
re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy
|
||
|
||
bpo-31460: Simplify the API of IDLE's Module Browser.
|
||
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the
|
||
option of creating a browser frame that is only part of a window.
|
||
Passing a full file name instead of pieces assumed to come from a
|
||
.py file opens the possibility of browsing python files that do not
|
||
end in .py.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31649: Make _htest and _utest parameters keyword-only.
|
||
These are used to adjust code for human and unit tests.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31459: Rename module browser from Class Browser to Module Browser.
|
||
The original module-level class and method browser became a module
|
||
browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
|
||
Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
|
||
compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
|
||
appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.
|
||
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-1612262: Module browser now shows nested classes and functions.
|
||
Original patches for code and tests by Guilherme Polo and
|
||
Cheryl Sabella, respectively. Revisions by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31500: Tk's default fonts now are scaled on HiDPI displays.
|
||
This affects all dialogs. Patch by Serhiy Storchaka.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31493: Fix code context update and font update timers.
|
||
Canceling timers prevents a warning message when test_idle completes.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31488: Update non-key options in former extension classes.
|
||
When applying configdialog changes, call .reload for each feature class.
|
||
Change ParenMatch so updated options affect existing instances attached
|
||
to existing editor windows.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31477: Improve rstrip entry in IDLE doc.
|
||
Strip Trailing Whitespace strips more than blank spaces.
|
||
Multiline string literals are not skipped.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31480: fix tests to pass with zzdummy extension disabled. (#3590)
|
||
To see the example in action, enable it on options extensions tab.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31421: Document how IDLE runs tkinter programs.
|
||
IDLE calls tcl/tk update in the background in order to make live
|
||
interaction and experimentation with tkinter applications much easier.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31414: Fix tk entry box tests by deleting first.
|
||
Adding to an int entry is not the same as deleting and inserting
|
||
because int('') will fail. Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-27099: Convert IDLE's built-in 'extensions' to regular features.
|
||
About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional
|
||
extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for
|
||
users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion.
|
||
The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings
|
||
for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding
|
||
in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are
|
||
defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config-
|
||
extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-
|
||
extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
|
||
The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>',
|
||
'<<expand-word>>', '<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>',
|
||
'<<format-paragraph>>', '<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and
|
||
'<<zoom-height>>'. Any (global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will
|
||
not affect their keyset-specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice
|
||
versa.
|
||
Initial patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31051: Rearrange condigdialog General tab.
|
||
Sort non-Help options into Window (Shell+Editor) and Editor (only).
|
||
Leave room for the addition of new options.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30617: Add docstrings and tests for outwin subclass of editor.
|
||
Move some data and functions from the class to module level.
|
||
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31287: Do not modify tkinter.messagebox in test_configdialog.
|
||
Instead, mask it with an instance mock that can be deleted.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30781: Use ttk widgets in ConfigDialog pages.
|
||
These should especially look better on MacOSX.
|
||
Patches by Terry Jan Reedy and Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31206: Factor HighPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog.
|
||
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bp0-31001: Add tests for configdialog highlight tab.
|
||
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.

||
|
||
bpo-31002: Add tests for configdialog keys tab.
|
||
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-19903: Change calltipes to use inspect.signature.
|
||
Idlelib.calltips.get_argspec now uses inspect.signature instead of
|
||
inspect.getfullargspec, like help() does. This improves the signature
|
||
in the call tip in a few different cases, including builtins converted
|
||
to provide a signature. A message is added if the object is not
|
||
callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only
|
||
parameters. Patch by Louie Lu.
|
||
|
||
bop-31083: Add an outline of a TabPage class in configdialog.
|
||
Add template as comment. Update existing classes to match outline.
|
||
Initial patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31050: Factor GenPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog.
|
||
The slightly modified tests for the General tab continue to pass.
|
||
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31004: Factor FontPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog.
|
||
The slightly modified tests continue to pass. The General test
|
||
broken by the switch to ttk.Notebook is fixed.
|
||
Patch mostly by Cheryl Sabella.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30781: IDLE - Use ttk Notebook in ConfigDialog.
|
||
This improves navigation by tabbing.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31060: IDLE - Finish rearranging methods of ConfigDialog.
|
||
Grouping methods pertaining to each tab and the buttons will aid
|
||
writing tests and improving the tabs and will enable splitting the
|
||
groups into classes.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30853: IDLE -- Factor a VarTrace class out of ConfigDialog.
|
||
Instance tracers manages pairs consisting of a tk variable and a
|
||
callback function. When tracing is turned on, setting the variable
|
||
calls the function. Test coverage for the new class is 100%.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-31003: IDLE: Add more tests for General tab.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30993: IDLE - Improve configdialog font page and tests.
|
||
*In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab
|
||
docstring. Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to
|
||
var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella). Move related functions to
|
||
positions after the create widgets function.
|
||
* In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent. Fix
|
||
renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget. Adjust tests for
|
||
movement of set_samples call. Add tests for load functions. Put all
|
||
font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another. Except for
|
||
two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions.
|
||
Patch by Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30981: IDLE -- Add more configdialog font page tests.
|
||
|
||
bpo-28523: IDLE: replace 'colour' with 'color' in configdialog.
|
||
|
||

||
|
||
bpo-30913: Document ConfigDialog tk Vars, methods, and widgets in docstrings
|
||
This will facilitate improving the dialog and splitting up the class.
|
||
Original patch by Cheryl Sabella.

|
||
Added test increases configdialog coverage to 60%
|
||
Patches mostly by Louie Lu.
|
||
|
||
bpo-8231: Call config.IdleConf.GetUserCfgDir only once per process.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30779: Factor ConfigChanges class from configdialog, put in config; test.
|
||
* In config, put dump test code in a function; run it and unittest in
|
||
'if __name__ == '__main__'.
|
||
* Add class config.ConfigChanges based on changes_class_v4.py on bpo issue.
|
||
* Add class test_config.ChangesTest, partly using configdialog_tests_v1.py.
|
||
* Revise configdialog to use ConfigChanges; see tracker msg297804.
|
||

|
||
within a multiframe window.
|
||
Patches by Cheryl Sabella and Terry Jan Reedy.
|
||
|
||
bpo-30723: Make several improvements to parenmatch.
|
||
* Add 'parens' style to highlight both opener and closer.
|
||
* Make 'default' style, which is not default, a synonym for 'opener'.
|
||
* Make time-delay work the same with all styles.
|
||
* Add help for config dialog extensions tab, including parenmatch.

||
|
||

|
||
The patch by Mark Roseman does this by making two changes.
|
||

||
2. In gui.run, allow any existing interaction to terminate first.

||

to make it clearer that the program referred to is the currently running
|
||
user program, not IDLE itself.

||

|
||
about the other buttons and the new IDLE Dark theme.

|
||
To use it with IDLEs released before November 2015, hit the
