* bpo-42225: IDLE - document two unix-related problems. (GH-25078)Miss Islington (bot)2021-03-311-7/+20
| | | | | | | 1. Bad IP masquerade rules can prevent startup. 2. X cannot handle some complex colored chars. (cherry picked from commit 1b4a9c7956d5dc64f8002f62bf0faae2d1892f90) Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>
* bpo-43283: Add IDLE doc paragraph about print speed (GH-24615) (GH-24632)Miss Islington (bot)2021-02-241-1/+9
| | | | | | | Printing to IDLE's Shell is often slower than printing to a system terminal, but it can be made faster by pre-formatting a single string before printing. (cherry picked from commit 2827e8a177c2a6584fada594bca6829c53a2872f) Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>

* Update idlelib/help.html to current IDLE doc (GH-22181)Miss Islington (bot)2020-09-091-4/+4
| | | | | (cherry picked from commit 471247150e9707e583297ac6b4edff978efd8941) Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>
* bpo-37765: Add keywords to IDLE tab completions (GH-15138)Miss Islington (bot)2020-07-091-38/+47
| | | | | | | | | | Keywords are present in the main module tab completion lists generated by rlcompleter, which is used by REPLs on *nix. Add all keywords to IDLE's main module name list except those already added from builtins (True, False, and None) . This list may also be used by Show Completions on the Edit menu, and its hot key. Rewrite Completions doc.

* bpo-39852: IDLE 'Go to line' deletes selection, updates status (GH-18801)Miss Islington (bot)2020-03-081-14/+19
| | | | | | | | It appears standard that moving the text insert cursor away from a selection clears the selection. Clearing prevents accidental deletion of a possibly off-screen bit of text. The update is for Ln and Col on the status bar. (cherry picked from commit 2522db11df102be3baf25ce9e816ebe8ffdb7fcc) Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>

* [3.8] bpo-38862: IDLE Strip Trailing Whitespace fixes end newlines (GH-17366)Terry Jan Reedy2019-11-271-12/+13
| | | | | | Extra newlines are removed at the end of non-shell files. If the file only has newlines after stripping other trailing whitespace, all are removed, as is done by patchcheck.py. (cherry picked from commit 6bf644ec82f14cceae68278dc35bafb00875efae) Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>
* bpo-38022: IDLE: upgrade help.html to sphinx 2.x HTML5 output (GH-15664)Miss Islington (bot)2019-09-031-165/+221
| | | | | | | | The HTML5 output from Sphinx 2.x adds '<p>' tags within list elements. Using a new prevtag attribute, ignore these instead of emitting unwanted '\n\n'. Also stop looking for 'first' classes on tags (no longer present) and fix the bug of double-spacing instead of single spacing after <pre> blocks. (cherry picked from commit 580bdb0ece681537eadb360f0c796123ead7a559) Co-authored-by: Tal Einat <taleinat+github@gmail.com>
* bpo-37748: Re-order the Run menu. (GH-15115)Miss Islington (bot)2019-08-041-21/+24

* bpo-26806: add 30 to the recursion limit in IDLE's shell (GH-13944)Miss Islington (bot)2019-07-061-135/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | This is done to compensate for the extra stack frames added by IDLE itself, which cause problems when setting the recursion limit to low values. This wraps sys.setrecursionlimit() and sys.getrecursionlimit() as invisibly as possible. (cherry picked from commit fcf1d003bf4f0100c9d0921ff3d70e1127ca1b71) Co-authored-by: Tal Einat <taleinat+github@gmail.com>
* bpo-5680: IDLE: Customize running a module (GH-13763)Miss Islington (bot)2019-06-181-2/+12
| | | | | | The initialize options are 1) add command line options, which are appended to sys.argv as if passed on a real command line, and 2) skip the shell restart. The customization dialog is accessed by a new entry on the Run menu. (cherry picked from commit 201bc2d18b60adb05810d2a6ab396047bc527088) Co-authored-by: Cheryl Sabella <cheryl.sabella@gmail.com>

| | | | | | | | | (GH-14168) Measure required height by quickly maximizing once per screen. A search for a better method failed. (cherry picked from commit 5bff3c86ab77e9d831b3cd19b45654c7eef22931) Co-authored-by: Tal Einat <taleinat+github@gmail.com>

* Rebase the 3.x version of idlelib/help.html on the 3.5 version ofTerry Jan Reedy2016-03-011-73/+73
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Doc/build/html/library/idle.html, which is built from Doc/library/idle.rst. Help.html is an rstrip()ed copy of idle.html that can be pushed. The displayed content is unchanged because a) the version number is not displayed, being inherent in the version displaying the file and b) the tt tag was ignored by the custom parser in idlelib/help.py. The wrapped <span class="pre"> tags remain as they were. This will be merged in 3.6 (without conflict) because the 3.6 help.html is a copy of the 3.5 file (which was a copy of the 3.4 file). The two files will remain the same until either a) there is a content change that only applies to one of them or b) 3.5 maintenance ends and the 3.6 file is itself rebased.
