If + 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!) + + * AutoIndent.py: + Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the + list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the + end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be + commented out! + + * CallTips.py: + Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for + class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function.

Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block. + I think I like it better if it os, so here. + + * ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo. + + * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters: + + + 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). + +Mon Jun 7 15:38:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py: + Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code. + + * PyParse.py: Tim Peters: + + 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). + +Fri Jun 4 19:21:19 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default. + If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it. + +Thu Jun 3 14:32:16 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py: + New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes: + + IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my + doctest.py <wink>. + + As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a + method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in + whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the + EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear. + + * GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message. + + * CallTips.py: + Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is + constructed. + +Wed Jun 2 18:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * CallTips.py: + My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>. + Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>. + + * CallTips.py: + A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup. Has some newer + stuff for getting the tip. Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events + for Unix. Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and + ButtonRelease events. + + * CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py: + Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.) + + * IdleHistory.py: + Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to + the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves + in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items. + + * AutoIndent.py: + Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as + well: make three dialog routines instance variables. + + * EditorWindow.py: + Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as + well: make three dialog routines instance variables. + +Tue Jun 1 20:06:44 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * AutoIndent.py: Hah! A fix of my own to Tim's code! + Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were + missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated, + even though they were in the menu. The new Unix bindings are now + the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u). + + * AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again: + + The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module + I have <whew!>. You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with + 5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then + adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on + my P5-166. Response time in real code appears instantaneous. + + Fixed some bugs. + + New feature: when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading + indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before + whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is + between the comma and the space: + + def something(arg1, arg2): + ^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER + arg2): # new line used to end up here + arg2): # but now lines up the way you expect + + New hack: AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option, + defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell. Reason: handling + the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1 + lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a + bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module + docstrings often). PythonWin's shell should set this true too. + + Persistent problem: strings containing def/class can still screw things up + completely. No improvement. Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and + consists of inserting e.g. + + def _(): pass + + (or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's + screwing them up. This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring + is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the + indentation behavior they see. + + * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters again: + + [Tim, after adding some bracket smarts to AutoIndent.py] + > ... + > What it can't possibly do without reparsing large gobs of text is + > suggest a reasonable indent level after you've *closed* a bracket + > left open on some previous line. + > ... + + The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time. The + code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g., + + return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start : + ^ indents to caret + i], + ^ indents to caret + self.tabwidth)) + 1 + ^ indents to caret + + It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash + continuation rules. It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it + happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1 + buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to + see the start of the string, it's completely hosed. I can't repair that -- + it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time. + + AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls + how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made + user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly. + + * PyParse.py: New file by Tim Peters: + + One new file in the attached, PyParse.py. The LineStudier (whatever it was + called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its + functionality. + + * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters keeps revising this module (more to come): + + Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding. + + Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify. I + think prompting for this is good now: they're usually at-most-once-per-file + commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default + anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means. + + Irony: for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's + non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc + approach. + + * EditorWindow.py: + 1. Catch NameError on import (could be raised by case mismatch on Windows). + 2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling + ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget + takes care of the watch cursor. + 3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class + browser on buffer without filename. + + * Icons/minusnode.gif, Icons/plusnode.gif: Missed a few. + + * ClassBrowser.py, PathBrowser.py: Rewritten based on TreeWidget.py + + * ObjectBrowser.py: Object browser, based on TreeWidget.py. + + * TreeWidget.py: Tree widget done right. + + * ToolTip.py: As yet unused code for tool tips. + + * ScriptBinding.py: + Ensure sys.argv[0] is the script name on Run Script. + + * ZoomHeight.py: Move zoom height functionality to separate function. + + * Icons/folder.gif, Icons/openfolder.gif, Icons/python.gif, Icons/tk.gif: + A few icons used by ../TreeWidget.py and its callers. + + * AutoIndent.py: New version by Tim Peters improves block opening test. + +Fri May 21 04:46:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * Attic/History.py, PyShell.py: Rename History to IdleHistory. + Add isatty() to pseudo files. + + * StackViewer.py: Make initial stack viewer wider + + * TODO.txt: New wishes + + * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py: + Much improved autoindent and handling of tabs, + by Tim Peters. + +Mon May 3 15:49:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py, UndoDelegator.py: + Tim Peters writes: + + I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a + different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in + EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better + idea? + + Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think + you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds, + including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and + backspacing. + + * WidgetRedirector.py: Tim Peters writes: + + [W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two + possible glitches. In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to + rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name + "previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>. + +Fri Apr 30 19:39:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * __init__.py: Support for using idle as a package. + + * PathBrowser.py: + Avoid listing files more than once (e.g. foomodule.so has two hits: + once for foo + module.so, once for foomodule + .so). + +Mon Apr 26 22:20:38 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * ChangeLog, ColorDelegator.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters strikes again: + + Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded! The colorizer is working with + "line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of + the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of + baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a + backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>). + + Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick. CPU usage goes way up when + typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for + me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine). Most of the + changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me + reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to + +Fri Apr 23 14:01:25 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> + + * EditorWindow.py: + Provide full arguments to __import__ so it works in packagized IDLE. + Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us> * help.txt: |
