From 8f570a768fcefef5e8c9f9cf1facc4f8cdc3ef3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Kurt B. Kaiser" Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 18:52:51 +0000 Subject: 1. Add a command line switch to run without the subprocess 2. Remove the shell menu and associated bindings when running without the subprocess. 3. Update the IDLE Help and usage text. 4. Update display_port_binding_error to suggest using -n M PyShell.py M help.txt --- Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++------------------ Lib/idlelib/help.txt | 13 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 33 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py b/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py index 6048503..5f9554a 100644 --- a/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py +++ b/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py @@ -332,7 +332,7 @@ class ModifiedInterpreter(InteractiveInterpreter): self.rpcclt = rpc.RPCClient(addr) break except socket.error, err: - print>>sys.__stderr__,"Idle socket error: " + err[1]\ + print>>sys.__stderr__,"IDLE socket error: " + err[1]\ + ", retrying..." else: display_port_binding_error() @@ -650,7 +650,6 @@ class PyShell(OutputWindow): menu_specs = [ ("file", "_File"), ("edit", "_Edit"), - ("shell", "_Shell"), ("debug", "_Debug"), ("options", "_Options"), ("windows", "_Windows"), @@ -661,6 +660,8 @@ class PyShell(OutputWindow): from IdleHistory import History def __init__(self, flist=None): + if use_subprocess: + self.menu_specs.insert(2, ("shell", "_Shell")) self.interp = ModifiedInterpreter(self) if flist is None: root = Tk() @@ -686,8 +687,9 @@ class PyShell(OutputWindow): text.bind("<>", self.toggle_debugger) text.bind("<>", self.flist.open_shell) text.bind("<>", self.toggle_jit_stack_viewer) - text.bind("<>", self.view_restart_mark) - text.bind("<>", self.restart_shell) + if use_subprocess: + text.bind("<>", self.view_restart_mark) + text.bind("<>", self.restart_shell) # self.save_stdout = sys.stdout self.save_stderr = sys.stderr @@ -810,7 +812,7 @@ class PyShell(OutputWindow): return self.shell_title COPYRIGHT = \ - 'Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.' + 'Type "copyright", "credits" or "license()" for more information.' def begin(self): self.resetoutput() @@ -1072,6 +1074,7 @@ USAGE: idle [-deis] [-t title] [file]* idle [-ds] [-t title] - [arg]* -h print this help message and exit + -n run IDLE without a subprocess (see Help/IDLE Help for details) The following options will override the IDLE 'settings' configuration: @@ -1120,6 +1123,7 @@ echo "import sys; print sys.argv" | idle - "foobar" def main(): global flist, root, use_subprocess + use_subprocess = True enable_shell = False enable_edit = False debug = False @@ -1131,7 +1135,7 @@ def main(): except AttributeError: sys.ps1 = '>>> ' try: - opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "c:deihr:st:") + opts, args = getopt.getopt(sys.argv[1:], "c:deihnr:st:") except getopt.error, msg: sys.stderr.write("Error: %s\n" % str(msg)) sys.stderr.write(usage_msg) @@ -1150,6 +1154,8 @@ def main(): sys.exit() if o == '-i': enable_shell = True + if o == '-n': + use_subprocess = False if o == '-r': script = a if os.path.isfile(script): @@ -1167,9 +1173,6 @@ def main(): if args and args[0] == '-': cmd = sys.stdin.read() enable_shell = True - - use_subprocess = True - # process sys.argv and sys.path: for i in range(len(sys.path)): sys.path[i] = os.path.abspath(sys.path[i]) @@ -1202,7 +1205,6 @@ def main(): fixwordbreaks(root) root.withdraw() flist = PyShellFileList(root) - if enable_edit: if not (cmd or script): for filename in args: @@ -1239,19 +1241,19 @@ def main(): def display_port_binding_error(): print """\ -IDLE cannot run. +\nIDLE cannot run. -IDLE needs to use a specific TCP/IP port (8833) in order to execute and -debug programs.
