27
28	* INSTALLATION, setup.py: INSTALLATION: Remove the coexist.patch
29	instructions
30
31	**************** setup.py:
32
33	Remove the idles script, add some words on IDLE Fork to the
34	long_description, and clean up some line spacing.
35
362001-07-17 15:01  kbk
37
38	* coexist.patch: Put this in the attic, at least for now...
39
402001-07-17 14:59  kbk
41
42	* PyShell.py, idle, idles: Implement idle command interface as
43	suggested by GvR [idle-dev] 16 July **************** PyShell: Added
44	functionality:
45
46	usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title]
47	[arg] ...
48
49	idle file(s)	(without options) edit the file(s)
50
51	-c cmd	   run the command in a shell -d	 enable the
52	debugger -i	    open an interactive shell -i file(s) open a
53	shell and also an editor window for each file -r script  run a file
54	as a script in a shell -s	  run $IDLESTARTUP or
55	$PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else -t title   set title of shell
56	window
57
58	Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).
59
60	****************** idles: Removed the idles script, not needed
61
62	****************** idle:  Removed the IdleConf references, not
63	required anymore
64
652001-07-16 17:08  kbk
66
67	* INSTALLATION, coexist.patch: Added installation instructions.
68
69	Added a patch which modifies idlefork so that it can co-exist with
70	"official" IDLE in the site-packages directory. This patch is not
71	necessary if only idlefork IDLE is installed. See INSTALLATION for
72	further details.
73
742001-07-16 15:50  kbk
75
76	* idles: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python Shell window.
77
78	The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
79	instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
80	environment by selecting "run".  There are times, however, when a
81	shell is desired.  Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
82	this script is more convenient.  In addition, a shell and an editor
83	window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
84
852001-07-16 15:25  kbk
86
87	* PyShell.py: Call out IDLE Fork in startup message.
88
892001-07-16 14:00  kbk
90
91	* PyShell.py, setup.py: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python
92	Shell window.
93
94	The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
95	instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
96	environment by selecting "run".  There are times, however, when a
97	shell is desired.  Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
98	this script is more convenient.  In addition, a shell and an editor
99	window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".
100
1012001-07-15 03:06  kbk
102
103	* pyclbr.py, tabnanny.py: tabnanny and pyclbr are now found in /Lib
104
1052001-07-15 02:29  kbk
106
107	* BrowserControl.py: Remove, was retained for 1.5.2 support
108
1092001-07-14 15:48  kbk
110
111	* setup.py: Installing Idle to site-packages via Distutils does not
112	copy the Idle help.txt file.

114	Ref SF Python Patch 422471
115
1162001-07-14 15:26  kbk
117
118	* keydefs.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.3) merge
119
120	"Make copy, cut and paste events case insensitive.  Reported by
121	Patrick K. O'Brien on idle-dev. (Should other bindings follow
122	suit?)" --GvR
123
1242001-07-14 15:21  kbk
125
126	* idle.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
127
128	"Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
129	module rather than the idle.py script.	This has advantages and
130	disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
131	have an alternative main program."  --GvR
132
1332001-07-14 15:18  kbk
134
135	* extend.txt: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
136
137	"Quick update to the extension mechanism (extend.py is gone, long
138	live config.txt)" --GvR
139
1402001-07-14 15:15  kbk
141
142	* StackViewer.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.16) merge
143
144	"Refactored, with some future plans in mind. This now uses the new
145	gotofileline() method defined in FileList.py"  --GvR
146
1472001-07-14 15:10  kbk
148
149	* PyShell.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.34) merge
150
151	"Amazing.  A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually
152	found a bug here.  Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from
153	class OutputWindow.  Method PyShell.close() wants to invoke its
154	parent method, but because PyShell long ago was inherited from
155	class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes
156	PyShelEditorWindow.close(self).  Now, class PyShellEditorWindow
157	itself derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close()
158	method from there without overriding it.  Under the old rules,
159	PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted
160	to the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was
161	OutputWindow.close.  Under the new rules, the unbound method is
162	restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is
163	PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error."
164	--GvR
165
1662001-07-14 14:59  kbk
167
168	* PyParse.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.9) merge
169
170	"Taught IDLE's autoident parser that "yield" is a keyword that
171	begins a stmt.	Along w/ the preceding change to keyword.py, making
172	all this work w/ a future-stmt just looks harder and harder."
173	--tim_one
174
175	(From Rel 1.8: "Hack to make this still work with Python 1.5.2.
176	;-( " --fdrake)
177
1782001-07-14 14:51  kbk
179
180	* IdleConf.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.7) merge
181
182	"Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
183	module rather than the idle.py script.	This has advantages and
184	disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
185	have an alternative main program." --GvR
186
1872001-07-14 14:45  kbk
188
189	* FileList.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.9) merge
190
191	"Delete goodname() method, which is unused. Add gotofileline(), a
192	convenience method which I intend to use in a variant. Rename
193	test() to _test()."  --GvR
194
195	This was an interesting merge. The join completely missed removing
196	goodname(), which was adjacent, but outside of, a small conflict.
197	I only caught it by comparing the 1.1.3.2/1.1.3.3 diff.  CVS ain't
198	infallible.
199
2002001-07-14 13:58  kbk
201
202	* EditorWindow.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.38) merge "Remove
203	legacy support for the BrowserControl module; the webbrowser module
204	has been included since Python 2.0, and that is the preferred
205	interface." --fdrake
206
2072001-07-14 13:32  kbk

320
321	VP IDLE version depended on VP's ExecBinding.py and spawn.py to get
322	the path to the Windows Doc directory (relative to python.exe).
323	Removed this conflicting code in favor of py-cvs updates which on
324	Windows use a hard coded path relative to the location of this
325	module. py-cvs updates include support for webbrowser.py.  Module
326	still has BrowserControl.py for 1.5.2 support.
327
328	At this point, the differences wrt py-cvs relate to menu
329	functionality.

572original IDLE ChangeLog:
573========================
574
575Tue Feb 15 18:08:19 2000  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
576
577	* NEWS.txt: Notice status bar and stack viewer.
578
579	* EditorWindow.py: Support for Moshe's status bar.
580
581	* MultiStatusBar.py: Status bar code -- by Moshe Zadka.
582
583	* OldStackViewer.py:
584	Adding the old stack viewer implementation back, for the debugger.
585
586	* StackViewer.py: New stack viewer, uses a tree widget.
587	(XXX: the debugger doesn't yet use this.)
588
589	* WindowList.py:
590	Correct a typo and remove an unqualified except that was hiding the error.
591
592	* ClassBrowser.py: Add an XXX comment about the ClassBrowser AIP.
593
594	* ChangeLog: Updated change log.
595
596	* NEWS.txt: News update.  Probably incomplete; what else is new?
597
598	* README.txt:
599	Updated for pending IDLE 0.5 release (still very rough -- just getting
600	it out in a more convenient format than CVS).
601
602	* TODO.txt: Tiny addition.
603
604Thu Sep  9 14:16:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
605
606	* TODO.txt: A few new TODO entries.
607
608Thu Aug 26 23:06:22 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
609
610	* Bindings.py: Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu.
611
612	* EditorWindow.py:
613	Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
614	(Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)
615
616	Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
617	to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
618	location can't be predicted).  Windows solution TBD.
619
620Wed Aug 11 14:55:43 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
621
622	* TreeWidget.py:
623	Moshe noticed an inconsistency in his comment, so I'm rephrasing it to
624	be clearer.
625
626	* TreeWidget.py:
627	Patch inspired by Moshe Zadka to search for the Icons directory in the
628	same directory as __file__, rather than searching for it along sys.path.
629	This works better when idle is a package.
630
631Thu Jul 15 13:11:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
632
633	* TODO.txt: New wishes.
634
635Sat Jul 10 13:17:35 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
636
637	* IdlePrefs.py:
638	Make the color for stderr red (i.e. the standard warning/danger/stop
639	color) rather than green.  Suggested by Sam Schulenburg.
640
641Fri Jun 25 17:26:34 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
642
643	* PyShell.py: Close debugger when closing.  This may break a cycle.
644
645	* Debugger.py: Break cycle on close.
646
647	* ClassBrowser.py: Destroy the tree when closing.
648
649	* TreeWidget.py: Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree.
650
651	* PyShell.py: Extend _close() to break cycles.
652	Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).
653
654	* EditorWindow.py:
655	Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the
656	user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).
657	It closes more than before.
658
659	Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
660	_close().  It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.
661
662	* Percolator.py: Add close() method that breaks cycles.
663
664	* WidgetRedirector.py: Add unregister() method.
665	Unregister everything at closing.
666	Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().
667
668	* IOBinding.py, FormatParagraph.py, CallTips.py:
669	Add close() method that breaks a cycle.
670
671Fri Jun 11 15:03:00 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
672
673	* AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py:
674	Tim Peters smart.patch:
675
676	EditorWindow.py:
677
678	+ Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
679	widget's view of what a tab means.
680
681	+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.
682
683	+ Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
684	but the name was plain wrong <wink>).
685
686	FormatParagraph.py:  renamed use of get_selection_index.
687
688	AutoIndent.py:
689
690	+ Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.
691
692	+ Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.
693
694	+ Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
695	preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
696	inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).
697
698	+ Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
699	get_selection_indices.  The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
700	"set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.
701
702	+ Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
703	cmd.
704
705Thu Jun 10 17:48:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
706
707	* FormatParagraph.py:
708	Code by Mark Hammond to format paragraphs embedded in comments.
709	Read the comments (which I reformatted using the new feature :-)
710	for some limitations.
711
712	* EditorWindow.py:
713	Added abstraction get_selection_index() (Mark Hammond).  Also
714	reformatted some comment blocks to show off a cool feature I'm about
715	to check in next.
716
717	* ClassBrowser.py:
718	Adapt to the new pyclbr's support of listing top-level functions.  If
719	this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
720	Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.
721
722	(Hmm...  Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
723	of the new pyclbr.py!)
724
725	* AutoIndent.py:
726	Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the
727	list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the
728	end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be
729	commented out!
730
731	* CallTips.py:
732	Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for
733	class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function.  Also updated
734	the test code to reflect your new "***" change.
735
736	* CallTipWindow.py:
737	Mark Hammond writes: Tim's suggestion of copying the font for the
738	CallTipWindow from the text control makes sense, and actually makes
739	the control look better IMO.
740
741Wed Jun  9 20:34:57 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
742
743	* CallTips.py:
744	Append "..." if the appropriate flag (for varargs) in co_flags is set.
745	Ditto "***" for kwargs.
746
747Tue Jun  8 13:06:07 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
748
749	* ReplaceDialog.py:
750	Hmm...  Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block.
751	I think I like it better if it os, so here.
752
753	* ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo.
754
755	* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters:
756
757	+ Set usetabs=1.  Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.
758	usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=
759	tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs
760	turned off.  The only implication is that if you open a file whose first
761	indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and
762	set indentwidth to 8).  Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for
763	PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark
764	probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).
765
766	+ Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line.  The
767	"holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it
768	needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).
769
770Mon Jun  7 15:38:40 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
771
772	* TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py:
773	Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code.
774
775	* PyParse.py: Tim Peters:
776
777	Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.
778
779	Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,
780	but makes  more breathing room for other extensions.
781
782	Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put
783	""" at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start
784	typing in code.  Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some
785	large fraction of a second.  The new code gets indented correctly, despite
786	that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after
787	which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).
788
789Fri Jun  4 19:21:19 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
790
791	* extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default.
792	If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it.
793
794Thu Jun  3 14:32:16 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
795
796	* AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py:
797	New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes:
798
799	IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
800	doctest.py <wink>.
801
802	As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
803	method of EditorWindow.  You just need to define one similarly in
804	whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
805	EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.
806
807	* GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message.
808
809	* CallTips.py:
810	Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is
811	constructed.
812
813Wed Jun  2 18:18:57 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
814
815	* CallTips.py:
816	My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>.
817	Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>.
818
819	* CallTips.py:
820	A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup.  Has some newer
821	stuff for getting the tip.  Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events
822	for Unix.  Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and
823	ButtonRelease events.
824
825	* CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py:
826	Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.)
827
828	* IdleHistory.py:
829	Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to
830	the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves
831	in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items.
832
833	* AutoIndent.py:
834	Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
835	well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
836
837	* EditorWindow.py:
838	Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
839	well: make three dialog routines instance variables.
840
841Tue Jun  1 20:06:44 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
842
843	* AutoIndent.py: Hah!  A fix of my own to Tim's code!
844	Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were
845	missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,
846	even though they were in the menu.  The new Unix bindings are now
847	the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).
848
849	* AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again:
850
851	The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module
852	I have <whew!>.  You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with
853	5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then
854	adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on
855	my P5-166.  Response time in real code appears instantaneous.
856
857	Fixed some bugs.
858
859	New feature:  when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading
860	indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before
861	whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is
862	between the comma and the space:
863
864	def something(arg1, arg2):
865	                   ^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER
866	               arg2):   # new line used to end up here
867	              arg2):    # but now lines up the way you expect
868
869	New hack:  AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,
870	defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell.  Reason:  handling
871	the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1
872	lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a
873	bad thing to look for in a file window (ps1 lines show up in my module
874	docstrings often).  PythonWin's shell should set this true too.
875
876	Persistent problem:  strings containing def/class can still screw things up
877	completely.  No improvement.  Simplest workaround is on the user's head, and
878	consists of inserting e.g.
879
880	def _(): pass
881
882	(or any other def/class) after the end of the multiline string that's
883	screwing them up.  This is especially irksome because IDLE's syntax coloring
884	is *not* confused, so when this happens the colors don't match the
885	indentation behavior they see.
886
887	* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters again:
888
889	[Tim, after adding some bracket smarts to AutoIndent.py]
890	> ...
891	> What it can't possibly do without reparsing large gobs of text is
892	> suggest a reasonable indent level after you've *closed* a bracket
893	> left open on some previous line.
894	> ...
895
896	The attached can, and actually fast enough to use -- most of the time.  The
897	code is tricky beyond belief to achieve that, but it works so far; e.g.,
898
899	        return len(string.expandtabs(str[self.stmt_start :
900	                                         ^ indents to caret
901	                                         i],
902	                                     ^ indents to caret
903	                                     self.tabwidth)) + 1
904	    ^ indents to caret
905
906	It's about as smart as pymode now, wrt both bracket and backslash
907	continuation rules.  It does require reparsing large gobs of text, and if it
908	happens to find something that looks like a "def" or "class" or sys.ps1
909	buried in a multiline string, but didn't suck up enough preceding text to
910	see the start of the string, it's completely hosed.  I can't repair that --
911	it's just too slow to reparse from the start of the file all the time.
912
913	AutoIndent has grown a new num_context_lines tuple attribute that controls
914	how far to look back, and-- like other params --this could/should be made
915	user-overridable at startup and per-file on the fly.
916
917	* PyParse.py: New file by Tim Peters:
918
919	One new file in the attached, PyParse.py.  The LineStudier (whatever it was
920	called <wink>) class was removed from AutoIndent; PyParse subsumes its
921	functionality.
922
923	* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters keeps revising this module (more to come):
924
925	Removed "New tabwidth" menu binding.
926
927	Added "a tab means how many spaces?" dialog to block tabify and untabify.  I
928	think prompting for this is good now:  they're usually at-most-once-per-file
929	commands, and IDLE can't let them change tabwidth from the Tk default
930	anymore, so IDLE can no longer presume to have any idea what a tab means.
931
932	Irony:  for the purpose of keeping comments aligned via tabs, Tk's
933	non-default approach is much nicer than the Emacs/Notepad/Codewright/vi/etc
934	approach.
935
936	* EditorWindow.py:
937	1. Catch NameError on import (could be raised by case mismatch on Windows).
938	2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling
939	   ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget
940	   takes care of the watch cursor.
941	3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class
942	   browser on buffer without filename.
943
944	* Icons/minusnode.gif, Icons/plusnode.gif: Missed a few.
945
946	* ClassBrowser.py, PathBrowser.py: Rewritten based on TreeWidget.py
947
948	* ObjectBrowser.py: Object browser, based on TreeWidget.py.
949
950	* TreeWidget.py: Tree widget done right.
951
952	* ToolTip.py: As yet unused code for tool tips.
953
954	* ScriptBinding.py:
955	Ensure sys.argv[0] is the script name on Run Script.
956
957	* ZoomHeight.py: Move zoom height functionality to separate function.
958
959	* Icons/folder.gif, Icons/openfolder.gif, Icons/python.gif, Icons/tk.gif:
960	A few icons used by ../TreeWidget.py and its callers.
961
962	* AutoIndent.py: New version by Tim Peters improves block opening test.
963
964Fri May 21 04:46:17 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
965
966	* Attic/History.py, PyShell.py: Rename History to IdleHistory.
967	Add isatty() to pseudo files.
968
969	* StackViewer.py: Make initial stack viewer wider
970
971	* TODO.txt: New wishes
972
973	* AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyShell.py:
974	Much improved autoindent and handling of tabs,
975	by Tim Peters.
976
977Mon May  3 15:49:52 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
978
979	* AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py, UndoDelegator.py:
980	Tim Peters writes:
981
982	I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a
983	different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in
984	EditorWindow.py).  Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>.  Better
985	idea?
986
987	Give the attached a whirl.  Even if you hate the implementation, I think
988	you'll like the results.  Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,
989	including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and
990	backspacing.
991
992	* WidgetRedirector.py: Tim Peters writes:
993
994	[W]hile trying to dope out how redirection works, stumbled into two
995	possible glitches.  In the first, it doesn't appear to make sense to try to
996	rename a command that's already been destroyed; in the second, the name
997	"previous" doesn't really bring to mind "ignore the previous value" <wink>.
998
999Fri Apr 30 19:39:25 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1000
1001	* __init__.py: Support for using idle as a package.
1002
1003	* PathBrowser.py:
1004	Avoid listing files more than once (e.g. foomodule.so has two hits:
1005	once for foo + module.so, once for foomodule + .so).
1006
1007Mon Apr 26 22:20:38 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1008
1009	* ChangeLog, ColorDelegator.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters strikes again:
1010
1011	Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded!  The colorizer is working with
1012	"line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of
1013	the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of
1014	baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a
1015	backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>).
1016
1017	Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick.  CPU usage goes way up when
1018	typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for
1019	me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine).  Most of the
1020	changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me
1021	reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to
1022
1023Fri Apr 23 14:01:25 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1024
1025	* EditorWindow.py:
1026	Provide full arguments to __import__ so it works in packagized IDLE.
1027
1028Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1029
1030        * help.txt:
1031        Bunch of updates necessary due to recent changes; added docs for File
1032        menu, command line and color preferences.
1033
1034        * Bindings.py: Remove obsolete 'script' menu.
1035
1036	* TODO.txt: Several wishes fulfilled.
1037
1038	* OutputWindow.py:
1039	Moved classes OnDemandOutputWindow and PseudoFile here,
1040	from ScriptBinding.py where they are no longer needed.
1041
1042	* ScriptBinding.py:
1043	Mostly rewritten.  Instead of the old Run module and Debug module,
1044	there are two new commands:
1045
1046	Import module (F5) imports or reloads the module and also adds its
1047	name to the __main__ namespace.  This gets executed in the PyShell
1048	window under control of its debug settings.
1049
1050	Run script (Control-F5) is similar but executes the contents of the
1051	file directly in the __main__ namespace.
1052
1053	* PyShell.py: Nits: document use of $IDLESTARTUP; display idle version
1054
1055	* idlever.py: New version to celebrate new command line
1056
1057	* OutputWindow.py: Added flush(), for completeness.
1058
1059	* PyShell.py:
1060	A lot of changes to make the command line more useful.  You can now do:
1061	  idle.py -e file ...    -- to edit files
1062	  idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
1063	  idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
1064	Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
1065	  -d       -- enable debugger
1066	  -s       -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
1067	  -t title -- set Python Shell window's title
1068	sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
1069	sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.
1070
1071	Other changes:
1072	- the environment in which commands are executed is now the
1073	  __main__ module
1074	- explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
1075	- new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
1076	- a few small nits
1077
1078	* TODO.txt:
1079	Some more TODO items.  Made up my mind about command line args,
1080	Run/Import, __main__.
1081
1082	* ColorDelegator.py:
1083	Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
1084	dramatically (up to 15 times he claims).  Works by reading more than
1085	one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
1086	then doubling up to the limit).  On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
1087	P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
1088	way.
1089
1090Wed Apr 21 15:49:34 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1091
1092	* ColorDelegator.py:
1093	Patch by Tim Peters to speed up colorizing of big multiline strings.
1094
1095Tue Apr 20 17:32:52 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1096
1097	* extend.txt:
1098	For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
1099	foo_bar_event().  Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
1100	the example.
1101
1102	* IdlePrefs.py: Restored the original IDLE color scheme.
1103
1104	* PyShell.py, IdlePrefs.py, ColorDelegator.py, EditorWindow.py:
1105	Color preferences code by Loren Luke (massaged by me somewhat)
1106
1107	* SearchEngine.py:
1108	Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
1109	unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
1110	between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
1111	an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
1112	m.span() call).
1113
1114Mon Apr 19 16:26:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1115
1116	* TODO.txt: A few wishes are now fulfilled.
1117
1118	* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
1119
1120	o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate
1121	(see Help list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from
1122	every other editor on earth <wink>).
1123
1124	o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old
1125	line (pymode and Codewright).
1126
1127	o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
1128	comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).
1129
1130	o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
1131	return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).
1132
1133	The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings &
1134	continuations, but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing
1135	functions to avoid that in finite time.
1136
1137======================================================================
1138	Python release 1.5.2c1, IDLE version 0.4

1140
1141Wed Apr  7 18:41:59 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1142
1143	* README.txt, NEWS.txt: New version.
1144
1145	* idlever.py: Version bump awaiting impending new release.
1146	(Not much has changed :-( )
1147
1148Mon Mar 29 14:52:28 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1149
1150	* ScriptBinding.py, PyShell.py:
1151	At Tim Peters' recommendation, add a dummy flush() method to
1152	PseudoFile.
1153
1154Thu Mar 11 23:21:23 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1155
1156	* PathBrowser.py: Don't crash when sys.path contains an empty string.
1157
1158	* Attic/Outline.py: This file was never supposed to be part of IDLE.
1159
1160	* PathBrowser.py:
1161	- Don't crash in the case where a superclass is a string instead of a
1162	pyclbr.Class object; this can happen when the superclass is
1163	unrecognizable (to pyclbr), e.g. when module renaming is used.
1164
1165	- Show a watch cursor when calling pyclbr (since it may take a while
1166	recursively parsing imported modules!).
1167
1168Wed Mar 10 05:18:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1169
1170	* EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py: Add PathBrowser to File module
1171
1172	* PathBrowser.py: "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
1173	    directories on sys.path
1174	    modules in selected directory
1175	    classes in selected module
1176	    methods of selected class
1177
1178	Single clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
1179	column with info about the selected item.  Double clicking in a
1180	module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
1181	item if it is a class or method).
1182
1183	I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
1184	ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
1185	Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.
1186
1187	* MultiScrolledLists.py:
1188	New utility: multiple scrolled lists in parallel
1189
1190	* ScrolledList.py: - White background.
1191	- Display "(None)" (or text of your choosing) when empty.
1192	- Don't set the focus.
1193
1194======================================================================
1195	Python release 1.5.2b2, IDLE version 0.3
1196======================================================================
1197
1198Wed Feb 17 22:47:41 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1199
1200	* NEWS.txt: News in 0.3.
1201
1202	* README.txt, idlever.py: Bump version to 0.3.
1203
1204	* EditorWindow.py:
1205	After all, we don't need to call the callbacks ourselves!
1206
1207	* WindowList.py:
1208	When deleting, call the callbacks *after* deleting the window from our list!
1209
1210	* EditorWindow.py:
1211	Fix up the Windows menu via the new callback mechanism instead of
1212	depending on menu post commands (which don't work when the menu is
1213	torn off).
1214
1215	* WindowList.py:
1216	Support callbacks to patch up Windows menus everywhere.
1217
1218	* ChangeLog: Oh, why not.  Checking in the Emacs-generated change log.
1219
1220Tue Feb 16 22:34:17 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1221
1222	* ScriptBinding.py:
1223	Only pop up the stack viewer when requested in the Debug menu.
1224
1225Mon Feb  8 22:27:49 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1226
1227	* WindowList.py: Don't crash if a window no longer exists.
1228
1229	* TODO.txt: Restructured a bit.
1230
1231Mon Feb  1 23:06:17 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1232
1233	* PyShell.py: Add current dir or paths of file args to sys.path.
1234
1235	* Debugger.py: Add canonic() function -- for brand new bdb.py feature.
1236
1237	* StackViewer.py: Protect against accessing an empty stack.
1238
1239Fri Jan 29 20:44:45 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1240
1241	* ZoomHeight.py:
1242	Use only the height to decide whether to zoom in or out.
1243
1244Thu Jan 28 22:24:30 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1245
1246	* EditorWindow.py, FileList.py:
1247	Make sure the Tcl variables are shared between windows.
1248
1249	* PyShell.py, EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
1250	Move menu/key binding code from Bindings.py to EditorWindow.py,
1251	with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
1252	Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
1253	a '!', it gets a checkbox.  Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
1254	that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
1255	the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.
1256
1257	* Debugger.py: Add Quit button to the debugger window.
1258
1259	* SearchDialog.py:
1260	When find_again() finds exactly the current selection, it's a failure.
1261
1262	* idle.py, Attic/idle: Rename idle -> idle.py
1263
1264Mon Jan 18 15:18:57 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1265
1266	* EditorWindow.py, WindowList.py: Only deiconify when iconic.
1267
1268	* TODO.txt: Misc
1269
1270Tue Jan 12 22:14:34 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1271
1272	* testcode.py, Attic/test.py:
1273	Renamed test.py to testcode.py so one can import Python's
1274	test package from inside IDLE.  (Suggested by Jack Jansen.)
1275
1276	* EditorWindow.py, ColorDelegator.py:
1277	Hack to close a window that is colorizing.
1278
1279	* Separator.py: Vladimir Marangozov's patch:
1280	The separator dances too much and seems to jump by arbitrary amounts
1281	in arbitrary directions when I try to move it for resizing the frames.
1282	This patch makes it more quiet.
1283
1284Mon Jan 11 14:52:40 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1285
1286	* TODO.txt: Some requests have been fulfilled.
1287
1288	* EditorWindow.py:
1289	Set the cursor to a watch when opening the class browser (which may
1290	take quite a while, browsing multiple files).
1291
1292	Newer, better center() -- but assumes no wrapping.
1293
1294	* SearchBinding.py:
1295	Got rid of debug print statement in goto_line_event().
1296
1297	* ScriptBinding.py:
1298	I think I like it better if it prints the traceback even when it displays
1299	the stack viewer.
1300
1301	* Debugger.py: Bind ESC to close-window.
1302
1303	* ClassBrowser.py: Use a HSeparator between the classes and the items.
1304	Make the list of classes wider by default (40 chars).
1305	Bind ESC to close-window.
1306
1307	* Separator.py:
1308	Separator classes (draggable divider between two panes).
1309
1310Sat Jan  9 22:01:33 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1311
1312	* WindowList.py:
1313	Don't traceback when wakeup() is called when the window has been destroyed.
1314	This can happen when a torn-of Windows menu references closed windows.
1315	And Tim Peters claims that the Windows menu is his favorite to tear off...
1316
1317	* EditorWindow.py: Allow tearing off of the Windows menu.
1318
1319	* StackViewer.py: Close on ESC.
1320
1321	* help.txt: Updated a bunch of things (it was mostly still 0.1!)
1322
1323	* extend.py: Added ScriptBinding to standard bindings.
1324
1325	* ScriptBinding.py:
1326	This now actually works.  See doc string.  It can run a module (i.e.
1327	import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control).  Output
1328	goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.
1329
1330======================================================================

1339	Paul Prescod's patches to allow the stack viewer to pop up when a
1340	traceback is printed.

1342Thu Jan  7 00:12:15 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1343
1344	* FormatParagraph.py:
1345	Change paragraph width limit to 70 (like Emacs M-Q).
1346
1347	* README.txt:
1348	Separating TODO from README.  Slight reformulation of features.  No
1349	exact release date.
1350
1351	* TODO.txt: Separating TODO from README.
1352
1353Mon Jan  4 21:19:09 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1354
1355	* FormatParagraph.py:
1356	Hm.  There was a boundary condition error at the end of the file too.
1357
1358	* SearchBinding.py: Hm.  Add Unix binding for replace, too.
1359
1360	* keydefs.py: Ran eventparse.py again.
1361
1362	* FormatParagraph.py: Added Unix Meta-q key binding;
1363	fix find_paragraph when at start of file.
1364
1365	* AutoExpand.py: Added Meta-/ binding for Unix as alt for Alt-/.
1366
1367	* SearchBinding.py:
1368	Add unix binding for grep (otherwise the menu entry doesn't work!)
1369
1370	* ZoomHeight.py: Adjusted Unix height to work with fvwm96. :=(
1371
1372	* GrepDialog.py: Need to import sys!
1373
1374	* help.txt, extend.txt, README.txt: Formatted some paragraphs
1375
1376	* extend.py, FormatParagraph.py:
1377	Add new extension to reformat a (text) paragraph.
1378
1379	* ZoomHeight.py: Typo in Win specific height setting.
1380
1381Sun Jan  3 00:47:35 1999  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1382
1383	* AutoIndent.py: Added something like Tim Peters' backspace patch.
1384
1385	* ZoomHeight.py: Adapted to Unix (i.e., more hardcoded constants).
1386

1389	* keydefs.py, idlever.py, idle.pyw, idle.bat, help.txt, extend.txt, extend.py, eventparse.py, ZoomHeight.py, WindowList.py, UndoDelegator.py, StackViewer.py, SearchEngine.py, SearchDialogBase.py, SearchDialog.py, ScrolledList.py, SearchBinding.py, ScriptBinding.py, ReplaceDialog.py, Attic/README, README.txt, PyShell.py, Attic/PopupMenu.py, OutputWindow.py, IOBinding.py, Attic/HelpWindow.py, History.py, GrepDialog.py, FileList.py, FrameViewer.py, EditorWindow.py, Debugger.py, Delegator.py, ColorDelegator.py, Bindings.py, ClassBrowser.py, AutoExpand.py, AutoIndent.py:
1390	Checking in IDLE 0.2.
1391
1392	Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
1393	The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
1394	see extend.txt.  Some sample extensions have been provided, and
1395	some existing code has been converted to extensions.  Probably the
1396	biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
1397	search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
1398
1399	This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
1400	from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
1401
1402Fri Dec 18 15:52:54 1998  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1403
1404	* FileList.py, ClassBrowser.py:
1405	Fix the class browser to work even when the file is not on sys.path.

1410
1411Fri Nov 27 03:19:20 1998  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1412
1413	* help.txt: Typo
1414
1415	* EditorWindow.py, FileList.py: Support underlining of menu labels
1416
1417	* Bindings.py:
1418	New approach, separate tables for menus (platform-independent) and key
1419	definitions (platform-specific), and generating accelerator strings
1420	automatically from the key definitions.
1421
1422Mon Nov 16 18:37:42 1998  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>

1431
1432Sat Oct 24 16:38:38 1998  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1433
1434	* Attic/turtle.py: Raise the root window on reset().
1435	Different action on WM_DELETE_WINDOW is more likely to do the right thing,
1436	allowing us to destroy old windows.
1437
1438	* Attic/turtle.py:
1439	Split the goto() function in two: _goto() is the internal one,
1440	using Canvas coordinates, and goto() uses turtle coordinates
1441	and accepts variable argument lists.
1442
1443	* Attic/turtle.py: Cope with destruction of the window
1444
1445	* Attic/turtle.py: Turtle graphics
1446

1462	Don't interact in user_return().
1463	Add primitive set_breakpoint() method.
1464
1465	* ColorDelegator.py:
1466	Raise priority of 'sel' tag so its foreground (on Windows) will take
1467	priority over text colorization (which on Windows is almost the
1468	same color as the selection background).
1469
1470	Define a tag and color for breakpoints ("BREAK").
1471
1472	* Attic/PopupMenu.py: Disable "Open stack viewer" and "help" commands.
1473
1474	* StackViewer.py:
1475	Add optional 'force' argument (default 0) to load_dict().
1476	If set, redo the display even if it's the same dict.

1491	Debugger can now show local and global variables.
1492
1493	* Debugger.py: Oops
1494
1495	* Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Better debugger support (show stack etc).
1496
1497	* Attic/PopupMenu.py: Follow renames in StackViewer module
1498
1499	* StackViewer.py:
1500	Rename classes to StackViewer (the widget) and StackBrowser (the toplevel).

1519
1520	* Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Polish the Debugger GUI a bit.
1521	Closing it now also does the right thing.
1522
1523Tue Oct 13 23:51:13 1998  Guido van Rossum  <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
1524
1525	* Debugger.py, PyShell.py, Bindings.py:
1526	Ad primitive debugger interface (so far it will step and show you the
1527	source, but it doesn't yet show the stack).
1528
1529	* Attic/README: Misc
1530

1551	Adding the beginnings of a Class browser.  Incomplete, yet.
1552
1553	* EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
1554	Add new command, "Open module".  You select or type a module name,
1555	and it opens the source.
1556
