- The OnDemandOutputWindow class has been improved. In particular, it now |
supports a readline() function used to implement user input, and a |
scroll_clear() operation which is used to hide the output of a previous run |
by scrolling it out of the window. |
- Startup behavior has been changed. By default IDLE starts up with just a |
blank editor window, rather than an interactive window. Opening a file in |
such a blank window replaces the (nonexistent) contents of that window |
instead of creating another window. Because of the need to have a |
well-known port for the ExecBinding protocol, only one copy of IDLE can be |
running. Additional invocations use the RPC mechanism to report their |
command line arguments to the copy already running. |
- The menus have been reorganized. In particular, the excessively large |
'edit' menu has been split up into 'edit', 'format', and 'run'. |
- 'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is |
present. |
- A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation |
instead of the IDLE help; shift-TAB is now a synonym for unindent. |
- New modules: |
ExecBinding.py Executes program through loader |
loader.py Bootstraps user program |
protocol.py RPC protocol |
Remote.py User-process interpreter |
spawn.py OS-specific code to start programs |
- Files modified: |
autoindent.py ( bindings tweaked ) |
bindings.py ( menus reorganized ) |
config.txt ( execbinding enabled ) |
editorwindow.py ( new menus, fixed 'Python Documentation' ) |
filelist.py ( hook for "open in same window" ) |
formatparagraph.py ( bindings tweaked ) |
idle.bat ( removed absolute pathname ) |
idle.pyw ( weird bug due to import with same name? ) |
iobinding.py ( open in same window, EOL convention ) |
keydefs.py ( bindings tweaked ) |
outputwindow.py ( readline, scroll_clear, etc ) |
pyshell.py ( changed startup behavior ) |

IDLE 0.5 - February 2000 - Release Notes |
---------------------------------------- |
This is an early release of IDLE, my own attempt at a Tkinter-based |
IDE for Python. |
(For a more detailed change log, see the file ChangeLog.) |
FEATURES |
IDLE has the following features: |
- coded in 100% pure Python, using the Tkinter GUI toolkit (i.e. Tcl/Tk) |
- cross-platform: works on Windows and Unix (on the Mac, there are |
currently problems with Tcl/Tk) |
- multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing |
and many other features, e.g. smart indent and call tips |
- Python shell window (a.k.a. interactive interpreter) |
- debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step) |
USAGE |
The main program is in the file "idle.py"; on Unix, you should be able |
to run it by typing "./idle.py" to your shell. On Windows, you can |
run it by double-clicking it; you can use idle.pyw to avoid popping up |
a DOS console. If you want to pass command line arguments on Windows, |
use the batch file idle.bat. |
Command line arguments: files passed on the command line are executed, |
not opened for editing, unless you give the -e command line option. |
Try "./idle.py -h" to see other command line options. |
IDLE requires Python 1.5.2, so it is currently only usable with a |
Python 1.5.2 distribution. (An older version of IDLE is distributed |
with Python 1.5.2; you can drop this version on top of it.) |
COPYRIGHT |
IDLE is covered by the standard Python copyright notice |
(http://www.python.org/doc/Copyright.html). |
