IDLE 0.5 - February 2000 - Release Notes
|
||||||
-----------------------------
|
----------------------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of
|
|
||||||
2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks,
|
|
||||||
you get to keep both pieces.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or
|
|
||||||
post to the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
|
|
||||||
(making it clear that you are using this modified version of IDLE).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Changes:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes
|
|
||||||
programs in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC
|
|
||||||
mechanism to an OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing
|
|
||||||
unnamed programs (through a temporary file). It does not yet support
|
|
||||||
debugging.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped
|
|
||||||
to exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back
|
|
||||||
into the user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
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 )
|
|
||||||
readme.txt ( <Recursion on file with id=1234567> )

New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
|
||||||
|
---------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (XXX Only used by Stack
|
||||||
|
Viewer menu, not by the debugger.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats
|
||||||
|
them correctly (MH)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands
|
||||||
|
much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path
|
||||||
|
browsers (TP)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of
|
||||||
|
multi-line statements (TP)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function
|
||||||
|
followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the
|
||||||
|
window to close the tip window (MH)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks
|
||||||
|
familiar to Windows users
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now
|
||||||
|
always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works
|
||||||
|
correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module
|
||||||
|
name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script:
|
||||||
|
this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also
|
||||||
|
sets sys.argv[] to the script name
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99)
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows
|
||||||
|
a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path,
|
||||||
|
directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class
|
||||||
|
browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module,
|
||||||
|
MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99)
|
||||||
|
-------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most important changes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger.
|
||||||
|
Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a
|
||||||
|
reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows
|
||||||
|
menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts
|
||||||
|
with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer"
|
||||||
|
(was: JIT stack viewer) menu items.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Added a Quit button to the Debugger API.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical
|
||||||
|
filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a
|
||||||
|
lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the
|
||||||
|
debugger though.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the
|
||||||
|
class browser.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class
|
||||||
|
browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text
|
||||||
|
windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99)
|
||||||
|
------------------------
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lots of changes; here are the highlights:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
General:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- You can now write and configure your own IDLE extension modules; see
|
||||||
|
extend.txt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
File menu:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The command to open the Python shell window is now in the File menu.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Edit menu:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
New Find dialog with more options; replace dialog; find in files dialog.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Commands to tabify or untabify a region.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Command to format a paragraph.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Debug menu:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer
|
||||||
|
automaticall pops up when you get a traceback.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Windows menu:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Zoom height -- make the window full height.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Help menu:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The help text now show up in a regular window so you can search and
|
||||||
|
even edit it if you like.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
IDLE 0.1 was distributed with the Python 1.5.2b1 release on 12/22/98.

|
What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 2?
|
||||||
----------------------------------
|
===================================
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
First Alpha release with GvR RPC and Configuration GUI.
|
*Release date: XX-XXX-2003*
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This file will be updated at next Alpha release. Meanwhile, see README.txt.
|
- Uniform capitalization in General tab of ConfigDialog, update the doc string.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix bug in ConfigDialog where SaveAllChangedConfig() was unexpectedly
|
||||||
|
deleting Additional Help Sources from the user's config file.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Make configHelpSourceEdit OK button the default and bind <Return>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Fix Tk root pop-ups in configHelpSourceEdit: error dialogs not attached
|
||||||
|
to parents.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Use os.startfile() to open both Additional Help and Python Help on the
|
||||||
|
Windows platform. The application associated with the file type will act as
|
||||||
|
the viewer. Windows help files (.chm) are now supported via the
|
||||||
|
Settings/General/Additional Help facility.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If Python Help files are installed locally on Linux, use them instead of
|
||||||
|
accessing python.org.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Make the methods for finding the Python help docs more robust, and make
|
||||||
|
them work in the installed configuration, also.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- On the Save Before Run dialog, make the OK button the default. One
|
||||||
|
less mouse action!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add a method: EditorWindow.get_geometry() for future use in implementing
|
||||||
|
window location persistence.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Removed the "Help/Advice" menu entry. Thanks, David! We'll remember!
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Change the "Classic Windows" theme's paste key to be <ctrl-v>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Rearrange the Shell menu to put Stack Viewer entries adjacent.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add the ability to restart the subprocess interpreter from the shell window;
|
||||||
|
add an associated menu entry "Shell/Restart". Update help.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Upon a restart, annotate the shell window with a "restart boundary". Add a
|
||||||
|
shell window menu "Shell/View Restart" and hotkey to jump to the most recent
|
||||||
|
restart boundary.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Change the shell window menu "Debug" to "Shell"; change "Settings" to
|
||||||
|
"Options".
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Remove incorrect comment in setup.py: IDLEfork is now installed as a package.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Add INSTALL.txt, HISTORY.txt, NEWS.txt to installed configuration.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- In installer text, fix reference to Visual Python, should be VPython.
|
||||||
|
Properly credit David Scherer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Modified idle, idle.py, idle.pyw to improve exception handling.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Known issues:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
+ Can't kill a tight loop in the Windows version: Insert a
|
||||||
|
``print "*",`` in an outer loop or use the Task Manager to kill.
|
||||||
|
+ Printing under Linux may be problematic.
|
||||||
|
+ The debugger is pretty slow.
|
||||||
|
+ RPC stack levels are not being pruned from debugger tracebacks.

IDLE fork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000
|
||||||
-----------------------------
|
-----------------------------
|
||||||
First project tarball released.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
This was the first release of IDLE fork, which at this stage was a
|
David Scherer <dscherer@cmu.edu>
|
||||||
combination of IDLE 0.5 and the VPython idle fork, with additional
|
|
||||||
changes coded by David Scherer, Peter Schneider-Kamp and
|
- This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of
|
||||||
Nicholas Riley.
|
2000-03-09. It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you
|
||||||
|
get to keep both pieces.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- If you have problems or suggestions, you should either contact me or post to
|
||||||
|
the list at http://www.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev (making it clear
|
||||||
|
that you are using this modified version of IDLE).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- Changes:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- The ExecBinding module, a replacement for ScriptBinding, executes programs
|
||||||
|
in a separate process, piping standard I/O through an RPC mechanism to an
|
||||||
|
OnDemandOutputWindow in IDLE. It supports executing unnamed programs
|
||||||
|
(through a temporary file). It does not yet support debugging.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- When running programs with ExecBinding, tracebacks will be clipped to
|
||||||
|
exclude system modules. If, however, a system module calls back into the
|
||||||
|
user program, that part of the traceback will be shown.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- 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
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|

|
||||||
New in IDLE 0.5 (2/15/2000)
|
|
||||||
-------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Tons of stuff, much of it contributed by Tim Peters and Mark Hammond:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Status bar, displaying current line/column (Moshe Zadka).
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Better stack viewer, using tree widget. (XXX Only used by Stack
|
|
||||||
Viewer menu, not by the debugger.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Format paragraph now recognizes Python block comments and reformats
|
|
||||||
them correctly (MH)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- New version of pyclbr.py parses top-level functions and understands
|
|
||||||
much more of Python's syntax; this is reflected in the class and path
|
|
||||||
browsers (TP)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Much better auto-indent; knows how to indent the insides of
|
|
||||||
multi-line statements (TP)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Call tip window pops up when you type the name of a known function
|
|
||||||
followed by an open parenthesis. Hit ESC or click elsewhere in the
|
|
||||||
window to close the tip window (MH)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Comment out region now inserts ## to make it stand out more (TP)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- New path and class browsers based on a tree widget that looks
|
|
||||||
familiar to Windows users
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Reworked script running commands to be more intuitive: I/O now
|
|
||||||
always goes to the *Python Shell* window, and raw_input() works
|
|
||||||
correctly. You use F5 to import/reload a module: this adds the module
|
|
||||||
name to the __main__ namespace. You use Control-F5 to run a script:
|
|
||||||
this runs the script *in* the __main__ namespace. The latter also
|
|
||||||
sets sys.argv[] to the script name
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
New in IDLE 0.4 (4/7/99)
|
|
||||||
------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most important change: a new menu entry "File -> Path browser", shows
|
|
||||||
a 4-column hierarchical browser which lets you browse sys.path,
|
|
||||||
directories, modules, and classes. Yes, it's a superset of the Class
|
|
||||||
browser menu entry. There's also a new internal module,
|
|
||||||
MultiScrolledLists.py, which provides the framework for this dialog.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
New in IDLE 0.3 (2/17/99)
|
|
||||||
-------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Most important changes:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Enabled support for running a module, with or without the debugger.
|
|
||||||
Output goes to a new window. Pressing F5 in a module is effectively a
|
|
||||||
reload of that module; Control-F5 loads it under the debugger.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Re-enable tearing off the Windows menu, and make a torn-off Windows
|
|
||||||
menu update itself whenever a window is opened or closed.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Menu items can now be have a checkbox (when the menu label starts
|
|
||||||
with "!"); use this for the Debugger and "Auto-open stack viewer"
|
|
||||||
(was: JIT stack viewer) menu items.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Added a Quit button to the Debugger API.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- The current directory is explicitly inserted into sys.path.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Fix the debugger (when using Python 1.5.2b2) to use canonical
|
|
||||||
filenames for breakpoints, so these actually work. (There's still a
|
|
||||||
lot of work to be done to the management of breakpoints in the
|
|
||||||
debugger though.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Closing a window that is still colorizing now actually works.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Allow dragging of the separator between the two list boxes in the
|
|
||||||
class browser.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Bind ESC to "close window" of the debugger, stack viewer and class
|
|
||||||
browser. It removes the selection highlighting in regular text
|
|
||||||
windows. (These are standard Windows conventions.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
New in IDLE 0.2 (1/8/99)

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Debug menu:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
JIT (Just-In-Time) stack viewer toggle -- if set, the stack viewer
|
|
||||||
automaticall pops up when you get a traceback.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Windows menu:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Zoom height -- make the window full height.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

|
|
||||||

IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 0
|
|
||||||
--------------------------------
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Introduced the new RPC implementation, which includes a debugger. The
|
|
||||||
output of user code is to the shell, and the shell may be used to
|
|
||||||
inspect the environment after the run has finished. (In version 0.8.1
|
|
||||||
the shell environment was separate from the environment of the user
|
|
||||||
code.)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Introduced the configuration GUI and a new About dialog.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Adapted to the Mac platform.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Known issues:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
- Can't kill a tight loop in the Windows version: Use the Task Manager!
|
|
||||||
- Printing under Linux may be problematic.
|
|
||||||
- The debugger is pretty slow.
|
|
||||||
- RPC stack levels are not being pruned from debugger tracebacks.
|
|
||||||
- Changelog and NEWS.txt are incomplete.
