- Improved exception reporting when running commands or scripts from the |
command line. |
- Added a -n command line switch to start IDLE without the subprocess. |
Removed the Shell menu when running in that mode. Updated help messages. |
- Added a comment to the shell startup header to indicate when IDLE is not |
using the subprocess. |
- Restore the ability to run without the subprocess. This can be important for |
some platforms or configurations. (Running without the subprocess allows the |
debugger to trace through parts of IDLE itself, which may or may not be |
desirable, depending on your point of view. In addition, the traditional |
reload/import tricks must be use if user source code is changed.) This is |
helpful for developing IDLE using IDLE, because one instance can be used to |
edit the code and a separate instance run to test changes. (Multiple |
concurrent IDLE instances with subprocesses is a future feature) |
- Improve the error message a user gets when saving a file with non-ASCII |
characters and no source encoding is specified. Done by adding a dialog |
'EncodingMessage', which contains the line to add in a fixed-font entry |
widget, and which has a button to add that line to the file automatically. |
Also, add a configuration option 'EditorWindow/encoding', which has three |
possible values: none, utf-8, and locale. None is the default: IDLE will show |
this dialog when non-ASCII characters are encountered. utf-8 means that files |
with non-ASCII characters are saved as utf-8-with-bom. locale means that |
files are saved in the locale's encoding; the dialog is only displayed if the |
source contains characters outside the locale's charset. SF 710733 - Loewis |
- Improved I/O response by tweaking the wait parameter in various |
calls to signal.signal(). |
- Implemented a threaded subprocess which allows interrupting a pass |
loop in user code using the 'interrupt' extension. User code runs |
in MainThread, while the RPCServer is handled by SockThread. This is |
necessary because Windows doesn't support signals. |
- Implemented the 'interrupt' extension module, which allows a subthread |
to raise a KeyboardInterrupt in the main thread. |
- Attempting to save the shell raised an error related to saving |
breakpoints, which are not implemented in the shell |
- Provide a correct message when 'exit' or 'quit' are entered at the |
IDLE command prompt SF 695861 |
- Eliminate extra blank line in shell output caused by not flushing |
stdout when user code ends with an unterminated print. SF 695861 |
- Moved responsibility for exception formatting (i.e. pruning IDLE internal |
calls) out of rpc.py into the client and server. |
- Exit IDLE cleanly even when doing subprocess I/O |
- Handle subprocess interrupt with an RPC message. |
- Restart the subprocess if it terminates itself. (VPython programs do that) |
- Support subclassing of exceptions, including in the shell, by moving the |
exception formatting to the subprocess. |
What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 2? |
=================================== |
*Release date: 27-Jan-2003* |
- Updated INSTALL.txt to claify use of the python2 rpm. |
- Improved formatting in IDLE Help. |
- Run menu: Replace "Run Script" with "Run Module". |
- Code encountering an unhandled exception under the debugger now shows |
the correct traceback, with IDLE internal levels pruned out. |
- If an exception occurs entirely in IDLE, don't prune the IDLE internal |
modules from the traceback displayed. |
- Class Browser and Path Browser now use Alt-Key-2 for vertical zoom. |
- IDLE icons will now install correctly even when setup.py is run from the |
build directory |
- Class Browser now compatible with Python2.3 version of pyclbr.py |
- Left cursor move in presence of selected text now moves from left end |
of the selection. |
- Add Meta keybindings to "IDLE Classic Windows" to handle reversed |
Alt/Meta on some Linux distros. |
- Change default: IDLE now starts with Python Shell. |
- Removed the File Path from the Additional Help Sources scrolled list. |
- Add capability to access Additional Help Sources on the web if the |
Help File Path begins with //http or www. (Otherwise local path is |
validated, as before.) |
