        long_description, and clean up some line spacing.

2001-07-17 15:01  kbk

        * coexist.patch: Put this in the attic, at least for now...

2001-07-17 14:59  kbk

        * PyShell.py, idle, idles: Implement idle command interface as
        suggested by GvR [idle-dev] 16 July **************** PyShell: Added
        functionality:
        
        usage: idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-i] [-r script] [-s] [-t title]
        [arg] ...
        
        idle file(s)    (without options) edit the file(s)
        
        -c cmd     run the command in a shell -d         enable the
        debugger -i         open an interactive shell -i file(s) open a
        shell and also an editor window for each file -r script  run a file
        as a script in a shell -s         run $IDLESTARTUP or
        $PYTHONSTARTUP before anything else -t title   set title of shell
        window
        
        Remaining arguments are applied to the command (-c) or script (-r).
        
        ****************** idles: Removed the idles script, not needed
        
        ****************** idle:  Removed the IdleConf references, not
        required anymore

2001-07-16 17:08  kbk

        * INSTALLATION, coexist.patch: Added installation instructions.
        
        Added a patch which modifies idlefork so that it can co-exist with
        "official" IDLE in the site-packages directory. This patch is not
        necessary if only idlefork IDLE is installed. See INSTALLATION for
        further details.

2001-07-16 15:50  kbk

        * idles: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python Shell window.
        
        The default behaviour of idlefork idle is to open an editor window
        instead of a shell. Complex expressions may be run in a fresh
        environment by selecting "run".  There are times, however, when a
        shell is desired.  Though one can be started by "idle -t 'foo'",
        this script is more convenient.  In addition, a shell and an editor
        window can be started in parallel by "idles -e foo.py".

2001-07-16 15:25  kbk

        * PyShell.py: Call out IDLE Fork in startup message.

2001-07-16 14:00  kbk

        * PyShell.py, setup.py: Add a script "idles" which opens a Python
        Shell window.

2001-07-15 03:06  kbk

        * pyclbr.py, tabnanny.py: tabnanny and pyclbr are now found in /Lib

2001-07-15 02:29  kbk

        * BrowserControl.py: Remove, was retained for 1.5.2 support

2001-07-14 15:48  kbk

        * setup.py: Installing Idle to site-packages via Distutils does not
        copy the Idle help.txt file.
        
        Ref SF Python Patch 422471

2001-07-14 15:26  kbk

        * keydefs.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.3) merge
        
        "Make copy, cut and paste events case insensitive.  Reported by
        Patrick K. O'Brien on idle-dev. (Should other bindings follow
        suit?)" --GvR

2001-07-14 15:21  kbk

        * idle.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
        
        "Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
        module rather than the idle.py script.  This has advantages and
        disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
        have an alternative main program."  --GvR

2001-07-14 15:18  kbk

        * extend.txt: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.4) merge
        
        "Quick update to the extension mechanism (extend.py is gone, long
        live config.txt)" --GvR

2001-07-14 15:15  kbk

        * StackViewer.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.16) merge
        
        "Refactored, with some future plans in mind. This now uses the new
        gotofileline() method defined in FileList.py"  --GvR

2001-07-14 15:10  kbk

        * PyShell.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rev 1.34) merge
        
        "Amazing.  A very subtle change in policy in descr-branch actually
        found a bug here.  Here's the deal: Class PyShell derives from
        class OutputWindow.  Method PyShell.close() wants to invoke its
        parent method, but because PyShell long ago was inherited from
        class PyShellEditorWindow, it invokes
        PyShelEditorWindow.close(self).  Now, class PyShellEditorWindow
        itself derives from class OutputWindow, and inherits the close()
        method from there without overriding it.  Under the old rules,
        PyShellEditorWindow.close would return an unbound method restricted
        to the class that defined the implementation of close(), which was
        OutputWindow.close.  Under the new rules, the unbound method is
        restricted to the class whose method was requested, that is
        PyShellEditorWindow, and this was correctly trapped as an error."
        --GvR

2001-07-14 14:59  kbk

        * PyParse.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.9) merge
        
        "Taught IDLE's autoident parser that "yield" is a keyword that
        begins a stmt.  Along w/ the preceding change to keyword.py, making
        all this work w/ a future-stmt just looks harder and harder."
        --tim_one
        
        (From Rel 1.8: "Hack to make this still work with Python 1.5.2. 
        ;-( " --fdrake)

2001-07-14 14:51  kbk

        * IdleConf.py: py-cvs-2001_07_13 (Rel 1.7) merge
        
        "Move the action of loading the configuration to the IdleConf
        module rather than the idle.py script.  This has advantages and
        disadvantages; the biggest advantage being that we can more easily
        have an alternative main program." --GvR

2001-07-14 14:45  kbk

        * FileList.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.9) merge
        
        "Delete goodname() method, which is unused. Add gotofileline(), a
        convenience method which I intend to use in a variant. Rename
        test() to _test()."  --GvR
        
        This was an interesting merge. The join completely missed removing
        goodname(), which was adjacent, but outside of, a small conflict. 
        I only caught it by comparing the 1.1.3.2/1.1.3.3 diff.  CVS ain't
        infallible.

2001-07-14 13:58  kbk

        * EditorWindow.py: py-cvs-2000_07_13 (Rev 1.38) merge "Remove
        legacy support for the BrowserControl module; the webbrowser module
        has been included since Python 2.0, and that is the preferred
        interface." --fdrake

2001-07-14 13:32  kbk

        * EditorWindow.py, FileList.py, IdleConf.py, PyParse.py,
        PyShell.py, StackViewer.py, extend.txt, idle.py, keydefs.py: Import
        the 2001 July 13 23:59 GMT version of Python CVS IDLE on the
        existing 1.1.3 vendor branch named py-cvs-vendor-branch. Release
        tag is py-cvs-2001_07_13.

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

original IDLE ChangeLog:
========================

Tue Feb 15 18:08:19 2000  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * NEWS.txt: Notice status bar and stack viewer.

        * EditorWindow.py: Support for Moshe's status bar.

        * MultiStatusBar.py: Status bar code -- by Moshe Zadka.

        * OldStackViewer.py:
        Adding the old stack viewer implementation back, for the debugger.

        * StackViewer.py: New stack viewer, uses a tree widget.
        (XXX: the debugger doesn't yet use this.)

        * WindowList.py:
        Correct a typo and remove an unqualified except that was hiding the error.

        * ClassBrowser.py: Add an XXX comment about the ClassBrowser AIP.

        * ChangeLog: Updated change log.

        * NEWS.txt: News update.  Probably incomplete; what else is new?

        * README.txt:
        Updated for pending IDLE 0.5 release (still very rough -- just getting
        it out in a more convenient format than CVS).

        * TODO.txt: Tiny addition.

Thu Sep  9 14:16:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * TODO.txt: A few new TODO entries.

Thu Aug 26 23:06:22 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * Bindings.py: Add Python Documentation entry to Help menu.

        * EditorWindow.py:
        Find the help.txt file relative to __file__ or ".", not in sys.path.
        (Suggested by Moshe Zadka, but implemented differently.)

        Add <<python-docs>> event which, on Unix, brings up Netscape pointing
        to http://www.python.doc/current/ (a local copy would be nice but its
        location can't be predicted).  Windows solution TBD.

Wed Aug 11 14:55:43 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * TreeWidget.py:
        Moshe noticed an inconsistency in his comment, so I'm rephrasing it to
        be clearer.

        * TreeWidget.py:
        Patch inspired by Moshe Zadka to search for the Icons directory in the
        same directory as __file__, rather than searching for it along sys.path.
        This works better when idle is a package.

Thu Jul 15 13:11:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * TODO.txt: New wishes.

Sat Jul 10 13:17:35 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * IdlePrefs.py:
        Make the color for stderr red (i.e. the standard warning/danger/stop
        color) rather than green.  Suggested by Sam Schulenburg.

Fri Jun 25 17:26:34 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * PyShell.py: Close debugger when closing.  This may break a cycle.

        * Debugger.py: Break cycle on close.

        * ClassBrowser.py: Destroy the tree when closing.

        * TreeWidget.py: Add destroy() method to recursively destroy a tree.

        * PyShell.py: Extend _close() to break cycles.
        Break some other cycles too (and destroy the root when done).

        * EditorWindow.py:
        Add _close() method that does the actual cleanup (close() asks the
        user what they want first if there's unsaved stuff, and may cancel).
        It closes more than before.

        Add unload_extensions() method to unload all extensions; called from
        _close().  It calls an extension's close() method if it has one.

        * Percolator.py: Add close() method that breaks cycles.

        * WidgetRedirector.py: Add unregister() method.
        Unregister everything at closing.
        Don't call close() in __del__, rely on explicit call to close().

        * IOBinding.py, FormatParagraph.py, CallTips.py:
        Add close() method that breaks a cycle.

Fri Jun 11 15:03:00 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, FormatParagraph.py:
        Tim Peters smart.patch:

        EditorWindow.py:

        + Added get_tabwidth & set_tabwidth "virtual text" methods, that get/set the
        widget's view of what a tab means.

        + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT here from AutoIndent.

        + Renamed Mark's get_selection_index to get_selection_indices (sorry, Mark,
        but the name was plain wrong <wink>).

        FormatParagraph.py:  renamed use of get_selection_index.

        AutoIndent.py:

        + Moved TK_TABWIDTH_DEFAULT to EditorWindow.

        + Rewrote set_indentation_params to use new VTW get/set_tabwidth methods.

        + Changed smart_backspace_event to delete whitespace back to closest
        preceding virtual tab stop or real character (note that this may require
        inserting characters if backspacing over a tab!).

        + Nuked almost references to the selection tag, in favor of using
        get_selection_indices.  The sole exception is in set_region, for which no
        "set_selection" abstraction has yet been agreed upon.

        + Had too much fun using the spiffy new features of the format-paragraph
        cmd.

Thu Jun 10 17:48:02 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * FormatParagraph.py:
        Code by Mark Hammond to format paragraphs embedded in comments.
        Read the comments (which I reformatted using the new feature :-)
        for some limitations.

        * EditorWindow.py:
        Added abstraction get_selection_index() (Mark Hammond).  Also
        reformatted some comment blocks to show off a cool feature I'm about
        to check in next.

        * ClassBrowser.py:
        Adapt to the new pyclbr's support of listing top-level functions.  If
        this functionality is not present (e.g. when used with a vintage
        Python 1.5.2 installation) top-level functions are not listed.

        (Hmm...  Any distribution of IDLE 0.5 should probably include a copy
        of the new pyclbr.py!)

        * AutoIndent.py:
        Fix off-by-one error in Tim's recent change to comment_region(): the
        list of lines returned by get_region() contains an empty line at the
        end representing the start of the next line, and this shouldn't be
        commented out!

        * CallTips.py:
        Mark Hammond writes: Here is another change that allows it to work for
        class creation - tries to locate an __init__ function.  Also updated
        the test code to reflect your new "***" change.

        * CallTipWindow.py:
        Mark Hammond writes: Tim's suggestion of copying the font for the
        CallTipWindow from the text control makes sense, and actually makes
        the control look better IMO.

Wed Jun  9 20:34:57 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * CallTips.py:
        Append "..." if the appropriate flag (for varargs) in co_flags is set.
        Ditto "***" for kwargs.

Tue Jun  8 13:06:07 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * ReplaceDialog.py:
        Hmm...  Tim didn't turn "replace all" into a single undo block.
        I think I like it better if it os, so here.

        * ReplaceDialog.py: Tim Peters: made replacement atomic for undo/redo.

        * AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters:

        + Set usetabs=1.  Editing pyclbr.py was driving me nuts <0.6 wink>.
        usetabs=1 is the Emacs pymode default too, and thanks to indentwidth !=
        tabwidth magical usetabs disabling, new files are still created with tabs
        turned off.  The only implication is that if you open a file whose first
        indent is a single tab, IDLE will now magically use tabs for that file (and
        set indentwidth to 8).  Note that the whole scheme doesn't work right for
        PythonWin, though, since Windows users typically set tabwidth to 4; Mark
        probably has to hide the IDLE algorithm from them (which he already knows).

        + Changed comment_region_event to stick "##" in front of every line.  The
        "holes" previously left on blank lines were visually confusing (made it
        needlessly hard to figure out what to uncomment later).

Mon Jun  7 15:38:40 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * TreeWidget.py, ObjectBrowser.py:
        Remove unnecessary reference to pyclbr from test() code.

        * PyParse.py: Tim Peters:

        Smarter logic for finding a parse synch point.

        Does a half to a fifth the work in normal cases; don't notice the speedup,
        but makes  more breathing room for other extensions.

        Speeds terrible cases by at least a factor of 10. "Terrible" == e.g. you put
        """ at the start of Tkinter.py, undo it, zoom to the bottom, and start
        typing in code.  Used to take about 8 seconds for ENTER to respond, now some
        large fraction of a second.  The new code gets indented correctly, despite
        that it all remains "string colored" until the colorizer catches up (after
        which, ENTER appears instantaneous again).

Fri Jun  4 19:21:19 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * extend.py: Might as well enable CallTips by default.
        If there are too many complaints I'll remove it again or fix it.

Thu Jun  3 14:32:16 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * AutoIndent.py, EditorWindow.py, PyParse.py:
        New offerings by Tim Peters; he writes:

        IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
        doctest.py <wink>.

        As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
        method of EditorWindow.  You just need to define one similarly in
        whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
        EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.

        * GrepDialog.py: Enclose pattern in quotes in status message.

        * CallTips.py:
        Mark Hammond fixed some comments and improved the way the tip text is
        constructed.

Wed Jun  2 18:18:57 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * CallTips.py:
        My fix to Mark's code: restore the universal check on <KeyRelease>.
        Always cancel on <Key-Escape> or <ButtonPress>.

        * CallTips.py:
        A version that Mark Hammond posted to the newsgroup.  Has some newer
        stuff for getting the tip.  Had to fix the Key-( and Key-) events
        for Unix.  Will have to re-apply my patch for catching KeyRelease and
        ButtonRelease events.

        * CallTipWindow.py, CallTips.py:
        Call tips by Mark Hammond (plus tiny fix by me.)

        * IdleHistory.py:
        Changes by Mark Hammond: (1) support optional output_sep argument to
        the constructor so he can eliminate the sys.ps2 that PythonWin leaves
        in the source; (2) remove duplicate history items.

        * AutoIndent.py:
        Changes by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
        well: make three dialog routines instance variables.

        * EditorWindow.py:
        Change by Mark Hammond to allow using IDLE extensions in PythonWin as
        well: make three dialog routines instance variables.

Tue Jun  1 20:06:44 1999  Guido van Rossum  <[email protected]>

        * AutoIndent.py: Hah!  A fix of my own to Tim's code!
        Unix bindings for <<toggle-tabs>> and <<change-indentwidth>> were
        missing, and somehow that meant the events were never generated,
        even though they were in the menu.  The new Unix bindings are now
        the same as the Windows bindings (M-t and M-u).

        * AutoIndent.py, PyParse.py, PyShell.py: Tim Peters again:

        The new version (attached) is fast enough all the time in every real module
        I have <whew!>.  You can make it slow by, e.g., creating an open list with
        5,000 90-character identifiers (+ trailing comma) each on its own line, then
        adding an item to the end -- but that still consumes less than a second on
        my P5-166.  Response time in real code appears instantaneous.

        Fixed some bugs.

        New feature:  when hitting ENTER and the cursor is beyond the line's leading
        indentation, whitespace is removed on both sides of the cursor; before
        whitespace was removed only on the left; e.g., assuming the cursor is
        between the comma and the space:

        def something(arg1, arg2):
                           ^ cursor to the left of here, and hit ENTER
                       arg2):   # new line used to end up here
                      arg2):    # but now lines up the way you expect

        New hack:  AutoIndent has grown a context_use_ps1 Boolean config option,
        defaulting to 0 (false) and set to 1 (only) by PyShell.  Reason:  handling
        the fancy stuff requires looking backward for a parsing synch point; ps1
        lines are the only sensible thing to look for in a shell window, but are a
