25.5. IDLE

+

IDLE is the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit.

+

IDLE has the following features:

+
    +
  • coded in 100% pure Python, using the tkinter GUI toolkit
  • +
  • cross-platform: works on Windows, Unix, and Mac OS X
  • +
  • multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing, +smart indent, call tips, and many other features
  • +
  • Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter)
  • +
  • debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step)
  • +
+ +
+

25.5.2. Editing and navigation

+

In this section, ‘C’ refers to the Control key on Windows and Unix and +the Command key on Mac OSX.

+
    +
  • Backspace deletes to the left; Del deletes to the right

    +
  • +
  • C-Backspace delete word left; C-Del delete word to the right

    +
  • +
  • Arrow keys and Page Up/Page Down to move around

    +
  • +
  • C-LeftArrow and C-RightArrow moves by words

    +
  • +
  • Home/End go to begin/end of line

    +
  • +
  • C-Home/C-End go to begin/end of file

    +
  • +
  • Some useful Emacs bindings are inherited from Tcl/Tk:

    +
    +
      +
    • C-a beginning of line
    • +
    • C-e end of line
    • +
    • C-k kill line (but doesn’t put it in clipboard)
    • +
    • C-l center window around the insertion point
    • +
    • C-b go backwards one character without deleting (usually you can +also use the cursor key for this)
    • +
    • C-f go forward one character without deleting (usually you can +also use the cursor key for this)
    • +
    • C-p go up one line (usually you can also use the cursor key for +this)
    • +
    • C-d delete next character
    • +
    +
    +
  • +
+

Standard keybindings (like C-c to copy and C-v to paste) +may work. Keybindings are selected in the Configure IDLE dialog.

+
+

25.5.2.1. Automatic indentation

+

After a block-opening statement, the next line is indented by 4 spaces (in the +Python Shell window by one tab). After certain keywords (break, return etc.) +the next line is dedented. In leading indentation, Backspace deletes up +to 4 spaces if they are there. Tab inserts spaces (in the Python +Shell window one tab), number depends on Indent width. Currently tabs +are restricted to four spaces due to Tcl/Tk limitations.

+

See also the indent/dedent region commands in the edit menu.

+
+
+

25.5.2.2. Completions

+

Completions are supplied for functions, classes, and attributes of classes, +both built-in and user-defined. Completions are also provided for +filenames.

+

The AutoCompleteWindow (ACW) will open after a predefined delay (default is +two seconds) after a ‘.’ or (in a string) an os.sep is typed. If after one +of those characters (plus zero or more other characters) a tab is typed +the ACW will open immediately if a possible continuation is found.

+

If there is only one possible completion for the characters entered, a +Tab will supply that completion without opening the ACW.

+

‘Show Completions’ will force open a completions window, by default the +C-space will open a completions window. In an empty +string, this will contain the files in the current directory. On a +blank line, it will contain the built-in and user-defined functions and +classes in the current name spaces, plus any modules imported. If some +characters have been entered, the ACW will attempt to be more specific.

+

If a string of characters is typed, the ACW selection will jump to the +entry most closely matching those characters. Entering a tab will +cause the longest non-ambiguous match to be entered in the Editor window or +Shell. Two tab in a row will supply the current ACW selection, as +will return or a double click. Cursor keys, Page Up/Down, mouse selection, +and the scroll wheel all operate on the ACW.

+

“Hidden” attributes can be accessed by typing the beginning of hidden +name after a ‘.’, e.g. ‘_’. This allows access to modules with +__all__ set, or to class-private attributes.

+

Completions and the ‘Expand Word’ facility can save a lot of typing!

+

Completions are currently limited to those in the namespaces. Names in +an Editor window which are not via __main__ and sys.modules will +not be found. Run the module once with your imports to correct this situation. +Note that IDLE itself places quite a few modules in sys.modules, so +much can be found by default, e.g. the re module.

+

If you don’t like the ACW popping up unbidden, simply make the delay +longer or disable the extension. Or another option is the delay could +be set to zero. Another alternative to preventing ACW popups is to +disable the call tips extension.

+
+
+

25.5.2.3. Python Shell window

+
    +
  • C-c interrupts executing command

    +
  • +
  • C-d sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at a >>> prompt

    +
  • +
  • Alt-/ (Expand word) is also useful to reduce typing

    +

    Command history

    +
      +
    • Alt-p retrieves previous command matching what you have typed. On +OS X use C-p.
    • +
    • Alt-n retrieves next. On OS X use C-n.
    • +
    • Return while on any previous command retrieves that command
    • +
    +
  • +
+
+
+
+

25.5.3. Syntax colors

+

The coloring is applied in a background “thread,” so you may occasionally see +uncolorized text. To change the color scheme, edit the [Colors] section in +config.txt.

+
+
Python syntax colors:
+
+
Keywords
+
orange
+
Strings
+
green
+
Comments
+
red
+
Definitions
+
blue
+
+
+
Shell colors:
+
+
Console output
+
brown
+
stdout
+
blue
+
stderr
+
dark green
+
stdin
+
black
+
+
+
+
+
+

25.5.4. Startup

+

Upon startup with the -s option, IDLE will execute the file referenced by +the environment variables IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP. +IDLE first checks for IDLESTARTUP; if IDLESTARTUP is present the file +referenced is run. If IDLESTARTUP is not present, IDLE checks for +PYTHONSTARTUP. Files referenced by these environment variables are +convenient places to store functions that are used frequently from the IDLE +shell, or for executing import statements to import common modules.

+

In addition, Tk also loads a startup file if it is present. Note that the +Tk file is loaded unconditionally. This additional file is .Idle.py and is +looked for in the user’s home directory. Statements in this file will be +executed in the Tk namespace, so this file is not useful for importing +functions to be used from IDLE’s Python shell.

+
+

25.5.4.1. Command line usage

+
idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ...
+
+-c command  run this command
+-d          enable debugger
+-e          edit mode; arguments are files to be edited
+-s          run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP first
+-t title    set title of shell window
+
+
+

If there are arguments:

+
    +
  1. If -e is used, arguments are files opened for editing and +sys.argv reflects the arguments passed to IDLE itself.
  2. +
  3. Otherwise, if -c is used, all arguments are placed in +sys.argv[1:...], with sys.argv[0] set to '-c'.
  4. +
  5. Otherwise, if neither -e nor -c is used, the first +argument is a script which is executed with the remaining arguments in +sys.argv[1:...] and sys.argv[0] set to the script name. If the +script name is ‘-‘, no script is executed but an interactive Python session +is started; the arguments are still available in sys.argv.
  6. +
+
+
+

25.5.4.2. Running without a subprocess

+

If IDLE is started with the -n command line switch it will run in a +single process and will not create the subprocess which runs the RPC +Python execution server. This can be useful if Python cannot create +the subprocess or the RPC socket interface on your platform. However, +in this mode user code is not isolated from IDLE itself. Also, the +environment is not restarted when Run/Run Module (F5) is selected. If +your code has been modified, you must reload() the affected modules and +re-import any specific items (e.g. from foo import baz) if the changes +are to take effect. For these reasons, it is preferable to run IDLE +with the default subprocess if at all possible.

+
+

Deprecated since version 3.4.

+
+
+
+
+

25.5.5. Help and preferences

+
+

25.5.5.1. Additional help sources

+

IDLE includes a help menu entry called “Python Docs” that will open the +extensive sources of help, including tutorials, available at docs.python.org. +Selected URLs can be added or removed from the help menu at any time using the +Configure IDLE dialog. See the IDLE help option in the help menu of IDLE for +more information.

+
+
+

25.5.5.2. Setting preferences

+

The font preferences, highlighting, keys, and general preferences can be +changed via Configure IDLE on the Option menu. Keys can be user defined; +IDLE ships with four built in key sets. In addition a user can create a +custom key set in the Configure IDLE dialog under the keys tab.

+
+
+

25.5.5.3. Extensions

+

IDLE contains an extension facility. Peferences for extensions can be +changed with Configure Extensions. See the beginning of config-extensions.def +in the idlelib directory for further information. The default extensions +are currently:

+
    +
  • FormatParagraph
  • +
