IDLE fork 0.7.1 - 29 May 2000
|
||||
-----------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
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 )
|
||||

||||
IDE for Python.

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.

IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 0 (31 DEC 2002)
|
||||
----------------------------------
|
||||
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.

IDLEfork 0.8.1 (22 JUL 2001)
|
||||
----------------------------
|
||||
New tarball released as a result of the 'revitalisation' of the IDLEfork
|
||||
project.
|
||||
What's New in IDLEfork 0.9 Alpha 1?
|
||||
===================================
|
||||
|
||||
This release requires python 2.1 or better. Compatability with earlier
|
||||
versions of python (especially ancient ones like 1.5x) is no longer
|
||||
a priority in IDLEfork development.
|
||||
*Release date: 31-Dec-2002*
|
||||
|
||||
This release is based on a merging of the earlier IDLE fork work with
|
||||
current cvs IDLE (post IDLE version 0.8), with some minor additional
|
||||
coding by Kurt B. Kaiser and Stephen M. Gava.
|
||||
- First release of major new functionality. For further details refer to
|
||||
Idle-dev and/or the Sourceforge CVS.
|
||||
|
||||
This release is basically functional but also contains some known
|
||||
breakages, particularly with running things from the shell window. Also
|
||||
the debugger is not working, but I believe this was the case with the
|
||||
previous IDLE fork release (0.7.1) as well.
|
||||
- Adapted to the Mac platform.
|
||||
|
||||
This release is being made now to mark the point at which IDLEfork is
|
||||
launching into a new stage of development.
|
||||
- Overhauled the IDLE startup options and revised the idle -h help message,
|
||||
which provides details of command line usage.
|
||||
|
||||
IDLEfork CVS will now be branched to enable further development and
|
||||
exploration of the two "execution in a remote process" patches submitted
|
||||
by David Scherer (David's is currently in IDLEfork) and GvR, while
|
||||
stabilisation and development of less heavyweight improvements (like
|
||||
user customisation) can continue on the trunk.
|
||||
- Multiple bug fixes and usability enhancements.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- Removed David Scherer's Remote Procedure Call code and replaced with Guido
|
||||
van Rossum's. GvR code has support for the IDLE debugger and uses the shell
|
||||
to inspect the environment of code Run from an Edit window. Files removed:
|
||||
ExecBinding.py, loader.py, protocol.py, Remote.py, spawn.py
|
||||

- This is a modification of the CVS version of IDLE 0.5, updated as of

|

- 'Python Documentation' now works on Windows, if the win32api module is

- A few key bindings have been changed: F1 now loads Python Documentation
|

========================
|
||||
|
||||
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.

IDLEfork README
|

===============
|
||||
|
||||
IDLEfork is an official experimental fork of Python's Integrated
|
||||
DeveLopment Environment IDLE. The biggest change is to execute
|
||||
Python code in a separate process, which is /restarted/ for each
|
||||
Run (F5) initiated from an editor window. This enhancement of
|
||||
IDLE has often been requested, and is now finally available,
|
||||
complete with debugger.

IDLEfork will be merged back into the Python distribution in the
|

near future (probably 2.3), replacing the current version of IDLE.

"It is alpha software and might be unstable. If it breaks, you get to
|
||||
keep both pieces."

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.
