Cut and -Copy require that the click be within the selection. - -bpo-39852: Edit "Go to line" now clears any selection, preventing -accidental deletion. It also updates Ln and Col on the status bar. - -bpo-39781: Selecting code context lines no longer causes a jump. - -bpo-39663: Add tests for pyparse find_good_parse_start(). - -bpo-39600: Remove duplicate font names from configuration list. - -bpo-38792: Close a shell calltip if a :exc:`KeyboardInterrupt` -or shell restart occurs.

It now escapes them with a backslash, like the regular -Python interpreter. Add an errors field to the standard streams. - -bpo-13153: Improve tkinter's handing of non-BMP (astral) unicode -characters, such as 'rocket \U0001f680'. Whether a proper glyph or -replacement char is displayed depends on the OS and font. For IDLE, -astral chars in code interfere with editing. - -bpo-35379: When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens -when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when -IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying. - -bpo-38183: To avoid test issues, test_idle ignores the user config -directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files -within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings. - -bpo-38077: IDLE no longer adds 'argv' to the user namespace when -initializing it. This bug only affected 3.7.4 and 3.8.0b2 to 3.8.0b4. - -bpo-38401: Shell restart lines now fill the window width, always start -with '=', and avoid wrapping unnecessarily. The line will still wrap -if the included file name is long relative to the width. - -bpo-37092: Add mousewheel scrolling for IDLE module, path, and stack -browsers. Patch by George Zhang. - -bpo-35771: To avoid occasional spurious test_idle failures on slower -machines, increase the ``hover_delay`` in test_tooltip. - -bpo-37824: Properly handle user input warnings in IDLE shell. -Cease turning SyntaxWarnings into SyntaxErrors. - -bpo-37929: IDLE Settings dialog now closes properly when there is no -shell window. - -bpo-37849: Fix completions list appearing too high or low when shown -above the current line. - -bpo-36419: Refactor autocompete and improve testing. - -bpo-37748: Reorder the Run menu. Put the most common choice, -Run Module, at the top. - -bpo-37692: Improve highlight config sample with example shell -interaction and better labels for shell elements. - -bpo-37628: Settings dialog no longer expands with font size. -The font and highlight sample boxes gain scrollbars instead. - -bpo-17535: Add optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows. - -bpo-37627: Initialize the Customize Run dialog with the command line -arguments most recently entered before. The user can optionally edit -before submitting them. - -bpo-33610: Code context always shows the correct context when toggled on. - -bpo-36390: Gather Format menu functions into format.py. Combine -paragraph.py, rstrip.py, and format methods from editor.py. - -bpo-37530: Optimize code context to reduce unneeded background activity. -Font and highlight changes now occur along with text changes instead -of after a random delay. - -bpo-27452: Cleanup config.py by inlining RemoveFile and simplifying -the handling of __file__ in CreateConfigHandlers/ - -bpo-26806: To compensate for stack frames added by IDLE and avoid -possible problems with low recursion limits, add 30 to limits in the -user code execution process. Subtract 30 when reporting recursion -limits to make this addition mostly transparent. - -bpo-37325: Fix tab focus traversal order for help source and custom -run dialogs. - -bpo-37321: Both subprocess connection error messages now refer to -the 'Startup failure' section of the IDLE doc. - -bpo-37177: Properly attach search dialogs to their main window so -that they behave like other dialogs and do not get hidden behind -their main window. - -bpo-37039: Adjust "Zoom Height" to individual screens by momentarily -maximizing the window on first use with a particular screen. Changing -screen settings may invalidate the saved height. While a window is -maximized, "Zoom Height" has no effect. - -bpo-35763: Make calltip reminder about '/' meaning positional-only less -obtrusive by only adding it when there is room on the first line. - -bpo-5680: Add 'Run Customized' to the Run menu to run a module with -customized settings. Any command line arguments entered are added -to sys.argv. One can suppress the normal Shell main module restart. - -bpo-35610: Replace now redundant editor.context_use_ps1 with -.prompt_last_line. This finishes change started in bpo-31858. - -bpo-32411: Stop sorting dict created with desired line order. - -bpo-37038: Make idlelib.run runnable; add test clause. - -bpo-36958: Print any argument other than None or int passed to -SystemExit or sys.exit(). - -bpo-36807: When saving a file, call file.flush() and os.fsync() -so bits are flushed to e.g. a USB drive. - -bpo-36429: Fix starting IDLE with pyshell. -Add idlelib.pyshell alias at top; remove pyshell alias at bottom. -Remove obsolete __name__=='__main__' command. - -bpo-30348: Increase test coverage of idlelib.autocomplete by 30%. -Patch by Louie Lu. - -bpo-23205: Add tests and refactor grep's findfiles. - -bpo-36405: Use dict unpacking in idlelib. - -bpo-36396: Remove fgBg param of idlelib.config.GetHighlight(). -This param was only used twice and changed the return type. - -bpo-23216: IDLE: Add docstrings to search modules. - -bpo-36176: Fix IDLE autocomplete & calltip popup colors. -Prevent conflicts with Linux dark themes -(and slightly darken calltip background). - -bpo-36152: Remove colorizer.ColorDelegator.close_when_done and the -corresponding argument of .close(). In IDLE, both have always been -None or False since 2007. - -bpo-36096: Make colorizer state variables instance-only. - -bpo-32129: Avoid blurry IDLE application icon on macOS with Tk 8.6. -Patch by Kevin Walzer. - -bpo-24310: Document settings dialog font tab sample. - -bpo-35689: Add docstrings and tests for colorizer. - -bpo-35833: Revise IDLE doc for control codes sent to Shell. -Add a code example block. - -bpo-35770: IDLE macosx deletes Options => Configure IDLE. -It previously deleted Window => Zoom Height by mistake. -(Zoom Height is now on the Options menu). On Mac, the settings -dialog is accessed via Preferences on the IDLE menu. - -bpo-35769: Change new file name from 'Untitled' to 'untitled'. - -bpo-35660: Fix imports in window module. - -bpo-35641: Properly format calltip for function without docstring. - -bpo-33987: Use ttk Frame for ttk widgets. - -bpo-34055: Fix erroneous 'smart' indents and newlines in IDLE Shell. - -bpo-28097: Add Previous/Next History entries to Shell menu. - -bpo-35591: Find Selection now works when selection not found. - -bpo-35598: Update config_key: use PEP 8 names and ttk widgets, -make some objects global, and add tests. - -bpo-35196: Speed up squeezer line counting. - -bpo-35208: Squeezer now counts wrapped lines before newlines. - -bpo-35555: Gray out Code Context menu entry when it's not applicable. - -bpo-22703: Improve the Code Context and Zoom Height menu labels. -The Code Context menu label now toggles between Show/Hide Code Context. -The Zoom Height menu now toggles between Zoom/Restore Height. -Zoom Height has moved from the Window menu to the Options menu. - -bpo-35521: Document the editor code context feature. -Add some internal references within the IDLE doc. - -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. - -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.

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-31205: Factor KeysPage(Frame) class from ConfigDialog. -The slightly modified tests continue to pass. -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.

A message is added if the object is not -callable, has an invalid signature, or if it has positional-only -parameters.

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.
