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.

IDLE Fork Installation on Linux:
|
|
|
|
Until the tarball is released, you must download a CVS copy. An excellent
|
|
place for it is
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/src/PythonX.X/Tools/idlefork, assuming that's where your Python
|
|
source is located. Put the correct version in for X.X .
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/local/src/PythonX.X/Tools
|
|
|
|
Now do the CVS login and checkout:
|
|
|
|
# cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.idlefork.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/idlefork login
|
|
|
|
Type an <enter> for the password.
|
|
|
|
# cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.idlefork.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/idlefork \
|
|
-d idlefork checkout idle
|
|
|
|
The -d option to checkout puts the files in an idlefork directory, so you don't
|
|
step on "official" idle.
|
|
|
|
# cd idlefork
|
|
# su to root
|
|
|
|
# python setup.py install
|
|
|
|
# echo "idle" > /usr/local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages.pth
|
|
|
|
This last is necessary so idle can find itself. I hope we can create/append
|
|
this file via setup.py at some point, but it needs to be done manually now, and
|
|
it only needs to be done once (unless you totally remove and reinstall python
|
|
itself).
|
|
|
|
# exit from root
|
|
|
|
NOTE that the above procedure will install idlefork IDLE on top of any
|
|
"official" IDLE that may be already installed. If you wish to avoid doing
|
|
that, there is a patch file, coexist.patch, in the idlefork directory. If,
|
|
_*before*_ you install idle, you run
|
|
|
|
# patch -p0 < coexist.patch
|
|
|
|
idlefork will be modified so that it installs as .../site-packages/fildlelib,
|
|
idle as fidle, and idles as fidles. (If you previously installed without
|
|
patching, remove the idlefork/build directory before running the install.)
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You must then append "fidlelib" to site-packages.pth !
|
|
|
|
Then "official" IDLE and idlefork IDLE will exist side by side for comparision.
|
|
And if idlefork is temporarily broken :-(, well, you have your old IDLE ways.
|
|
|
|
This is obviously an expedient development hack, but if popular, I imagine
|
|
there could be a setup option.
