Guido van Rossum 26c2cb4bd1 Tim Peters strikes again:
Ho ho ho -- that's trickier than it sounded!  The colorizer is working with
"line.col" strings instead of Text marks, and the absolute coordinates of
the point of interest can change across the self.update call (voice of
baffled experience, when two quick backspaces no longer fooled it, but a
backspace followed by a quick ENTER did <wink>).

Anyway, the attached appears to do the trick.  CPU usage goes way up when
typing quickly into a long triple-quoted string, but the latency is fine for
me (a relatively fast typist on a relatively slow machine).  Most of the
changes here are left over from reducing the # of vrbl names to help me
reason about the logic better; I hope the code is a *little* easier to

Thu Apr 22 23:20:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* help.txt:
Bunch of updates necessary due to recent changes; added docs for File
menu, command line and color preferences.
* Bindings.py: Remove obsolete 'script' menu.
* TODO.txt: Several wishes fulfilled.
* OutputWindow.py:
Moved classes OnDemandOutputWindow and PseudoFile here,
from ScriptBinding.py where they are no longer needed.
* ScriptBinding.py:
Mostly rewritten. Instead of the old Run module and Debug module,
there are two new commands:
Import module (F5) imports or reloads the module and also adds its
name to the __main__ namespace. This gets executed in the PyShell
window under control of its debug settings.
Run script (Control-F5) is similar but executes the contents of the
file directly in the __main__ namespace.
* PyShell.py: Nits: document use of $IDLESTARTUP; display idle version
* idlever.py: New version to celebrate new command line
* OutputWindow.py: Added flush(), for completeness.
* PyShell.py:
A lot of changes to make the command line more useful. You can now do:
idle.py -e file ... -- to edit files
idle.py script arg ... -- to run a script
idle.py -c cmd arg ... -- to run a command
Other options, see also the usage message (also new!) for more details:
-d -- enable debugger
-s -- run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP
-t title -- set Python Shell window's title
sys.argv is set accordingly, unless -e is used.
sys.path is absolutized, and all relevant paths are inserted into it.
Other changes:
- the environment in which commands are executed is now the
__main__ module
- explicitly save sys.stdout etc., don't restore from sys.__stdout__
- new interpreter methods execsource(), execfile(), stuffsource()
- a few small nits
* TODO.txt:
Some more TODO items. Made up my mind about command line args,
Run/Import, __main__.
* ColorDelegator.py:
Super-elegant patch by Tim Peters that speeds up colorization
dramatically (up to 15 times he claims). Works by reading more than
one line at a time, up to 100-line chunks (starting with one line and
then doubling up to the limit). On a typical machine (e.g. Tim's
P5-166) this doesn't reduce interactive responsiveness in a noticeable
way.
Wed Apr 21 15:49:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* ColorDelegator.py:
Patch by Tim Peters to speed up colorizing of big multiline strings.
Tue Apr 20 17:32:52 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* extend.txt:
For an event 'foo-bar', the corresponding method must be called
foo_bar_event(). Therefore, fix the references to zoom_height() in
the example.
* IdlePrefs.py: Restored the original IDLE color scheme.
* PyShell.py, IdlePrefs.py, ColorDelegator.py, EditorWindow.py:
Color preferences code by Loren Luke (massaged by me somewhat)
* SearchEngine.py:
Patch by Mark Favas: it fixes the search engine behaviour where an
unsuccessful search wraps around and re-searches that part of the file
between the start of the search and the end of the file - only really
an issue for very large files, but... (also removes a redundant
m.span() call).
Mon Apr 19 16:26:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* TODO.txt: A few wishes are now fulfilled.
* AutoIndent.py: Tim Peters implements some of my wishes:
o Makes the tab key intelligently insert spaces when appropriate
(see Help list banter twixt David Ascher and me; idea stolen from
every other editor on earth <wink>).
o newline_and_indent_event trims trailing whitespace on the old
line (pymode and Codewright).
o newline_and_indent_event no longer fooled by trailing whitespace or
comment after ":" (pymode, PTUI).
o newline_and_indent_event now reduces the new line's indentation after
return, break, continue, raise and pass stmts (pymode).
The last two are easy to fool in the presence of strings &
continuations, but pymode requires Emacs's high-powered C parsing
functions to avoid that in finite time.

Python release 1.5.2c1, IDLE version 0.4
======================================================================
Wed Apr 7 18:41:59 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* README.txt, NEWS.txt: New version.
* idlever.py: Version bump awaiting impending new release.
(Not much has changed :-( )
Mon Mar 29 14:52:28 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* ScriptBinding.py, PyShell.py:
At Tim Peters' recommendation, add a dummy flush() method to
PseudoFile.
Thu Mar 11 23:21:23 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* PathBrowser.py: Don't crash when sys.path contains an empty string.
* Attic/Outline.py: This file was never supposed to be part of IDLE.
* PathBrowser.py:
- Don't crash in the case where a superclass is a string instead of a
pyclbr.Class object; this can happen when the superclass is
unrecognizable (to pyclbr), e.g. when module renaming is used.
- Show a watch cursor when calling pyclbr (since it may take a while
recursively parsing imported modules!).
Wed Mar 10 05:18:02 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py: Add PathBrowser to File module
* PathBrowser.py: "Path browser" - 4 scrolled lists displaying:
directories on sys.path
modules in selected directory
classes in selected module
methods of selected class
Sinlge clicking in a directory, module or class item updates the next
column with info about the selected item. Double clicking in a
module, class or method item opens the file (and selects the clicked
item if it is a class or method).
I guess eventually I should be using a tree widget for this, but the
ones I've seen don't work well enough, so for now I use the old
Smalltalk or NeXT style multi-column hierarchical browser.
* MultiScrolledLists.py:
New utility: multiple scrolled lists in parallel
* ScrolledList.py: - White background.
- Display "(None)" (or text of your choosing) when empty.
- Don't set the focus.
======================================================================
Python release 1.5.2b2, IDLE version 0.3
======================================================================
Wed Feb 17 22:47:41 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* NEWS.txt: News in 0.3.
* README.txt, idlever.py: Bump version to 0.3.
* EditorWindow.py:
After all, we don't need to call the callbacks ourselves!
* WindowList.py:
When deleting, call the callbacks *after* deleting the window from our list!
* EditorWindow.py:
Fix up the Windows menu via the new callback mechanism instead of
depending on menu post commands (which don't work when the menu is
torn off).
* WindowList.py:
Support callbacks to patch up Windows menus everywhere.
* ChangeLog: Oh, why not. Checking in the Emacs-generated change log.
Tue Feb 16 22:34:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* ScriptBinding.py:
Only pop up the stack viewer when requested in the Debug menu.
Mon Feb 8 22:27:49 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* WindowList.py: Don't crash if a window no longer exists.
* TODO.txt: Restructured a bit.
Mon Feb 1 23:06:17 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* PyShell.py: Add current dir or paths of file args to sys.path.
* Debugger.py: Add canonic() function -- for brand new bdb.py feature.
* StackViewer.py: Protect against accessing an empty stack.
Fri Jan 29 20:44:45 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* ZoomHeight.py:
Use only the height to decide whether to zoom in or out.
Thu Jan 28 22:24:30 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* EditorWindow.py, FileList.py:
Make sure the Tcl variables are shared between windows.
* PyShell.py, EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
Move menu/key binding code from Bindings.py to EditorWindow.py,
with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
a '!', it gets a checkbox. Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.
* Debugger.py: Add Quit button to the debugger window.
* SearchDialog.py:
When find_again() finds exactly the current selection, it's a failure.
* idle.py, Attic/idle: Rename idle -> idle.py
Mon Jan 18 15:18:57 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* EditorWindow.py, WindowList.py: Only deiconify when iconic.
* TODO.txt: Misc
Tue Jan 12 22:14:34 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* testcode.py, Attic/test.py:
Renamed test.py to testcode.py so one can import Python's
test package from inside IDLE. (Suggested by Jack Jansen.)
* EditorWindow.py, ColorDelegator.py:
Hack to close a window that is colorizing.
* Separator.py: Vladimir Marangozov's patch:
The separator dances too much and seems to jump by arbitrary amounts
in arbitrary directions when I try to move it for resizing the frames.
This patch makes it more quiet.
Mon Jan 11 14:52:40 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* TODO.txt: Some requests have been fulfilled.
* EditorWindow.py:
Set the cursor to a watch when opening the class browser (which may
take quite a while, browsing multiple files).
Newer, better center() -- but assumes no wrapping.
* SearchBinding.py:
Got rid of debug print statement in goto_line_event().
* ScriptBinding.py:
I think I like it better if it prints the traceback even when it displays
the stack viewer.
* Debugger.py: Bind ESC to close-window.
* ClassBrowser.py: Use a HSeparator between the classes and the items.
Make the list of classes wider by default (40 chars).
Bind ESC to close-window.
* Separator.py:
Separator classes (draggable divider between two panes).
Sat Jan 9 22:01:33 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* WindowList.py:
Don't traceback when wakeup() is called when the window has been destroyed.
This can happen when a torn-of Windows menu references closed windows.
And Tim Peters claims that the Windows menu is his favorite to tear off...
* EditorWindow.py: Allow tearing off of the Windows menu.
* StackViewer.py: Close on ESC.
* help.txt: Updated a bunch of things (it was mostly still 0.1!)
* extend.py: Added ScriptBinding to standard bindings.
* ScriptBinding.py:
This now actually works. See doc string. It can run a module (i.e.
import or reload) or debug it (same with debugger control). Output
goes to a fresh output window, only created when needed.

* README.txt, NEWS.txt: What's new in this release.
* Bindings.py, PyShell.py:
Paul Prescod's patches to allow the stack viewer to pop up when a
traceback is printed.
Thu Jan 7 00:12:15 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* FormatParagraph.py:
Change paragraph width limit to 70 (like Emacs M-Q).
* README.txt:
Separating TODO from README. Slight reformulation of features. No
exact release date.
* TODO.txt: Separating TODO from README.
Mon Jan 4 21:19:09 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* FormatParagraph.py:
Hm. There was a boundary condition error at the end of the file too.
* SearchBinding.py: Hm. Add Unix binding for replace, too.
* keydefs.py: Ran eventparse.py again.
* FormatParagraph.py: Added Unix Meta-q key binding;
fix find_paragraph when at start of file.
* AutoExpand.py: Added Meta-/ binding for Unix as alt for Alt-/.
* SearchBinding.py:
Add unix binding for grep (otherwise the menu entry doesn't work!)
* ZoomHeight.py: Adjusted Unix height to work with fvwm96. :=(
* GrepDialog.py: Need to import sys!
* help.txt, extend.txt, README.txt: Formatted some paragraphs
* extend.py, FormatParagraph.py:
Add new extension to reformat a (text) paragraph.
* ZoomHeight.py: Typo in Win specific height setting.
Sun Jan 3 00:47:35 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* AutoIndent.py: Added something like Tim Peters' backspace patch.
* ZoomHeight.py: Adapted to Unix (i.e., more hardcoded constants).
Sat Jan 2 21:28:54 1999 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* 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:
Checking in IDLE 0.2.
Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
Fri Dec 18 15:52:54 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* FileList.py, ClassBrowser.py:
Fix the class browser to work even when the file is not on sys.path.
Tue Dec 8 20:39:36 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* Attic/turtle.py: Moved to Python 1.5.2/Lib
Fri Nov 27 03:19:20 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* help.txt: Typo
* EditorWindow.py, FileList.py: Support underlining of menu labels
* Bindings.py:
New approach, separate tables for menus (platform-independent) and key
definitions (platform-specific), and generating accelerator strings
automatically from the key definitions.
Mon Nov 16 18:37:42 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* Attic/README: Clarify portability and main program.
* Attic/README: Added intro for 0.1 release and append Grail notes.
Mon Oct 26 18:49:00 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* Attic/turtle.py: root is now a global called _root
Sat Oct 24 16:38:38 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* Attic/turtle.py: Raise the root window on reset().
Different action on WM_DELETE_WINDOW is more likely to do the right thing,
allowing us to destroy old windows.
* Attic/turtle.py:
Split the goto() function in two: _goto() is the internal one,
using Canvas coordinates, and goto() uses turtle coordinates
and accepts variable argument lists.
* Attic/turtle.py: Cope with destruction of the window
* Attic/turtle.py: Turtle graphics
* Debugger.py: Use of Breakpoint class should be bdb.Breakpoint.
Mon Oct 19 03:33:40 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* SearchBinding.py:
Speed up the search a bit -- don't drag a mark around...
* PyShell.py:
Change our special entries from <console#N> to <pyshell#N>.
Patch linecache.checkcache() to keep our special entries alive.
Add popup menu to all editor windows to set a breakpoint.
* Debugger.py:
Use and pass through the 'force' flag to set_dict() where appropriate.
Default source and globals checkboxes to false.
Don't interact in user_return().
Add primitive set_breakpoint() method.
* ColorDelegator.py:
Raise priority of 'sel' tag so its foreground (on Windows) will take
priority over text colorization (which on Windows is almost the
same color as the selection background).
Define a tag and color for breakpoints ("BREAK").
* Attic/PopupMenu.py: Disable "Open stack viewer" and "help" commands.
* StackViewer.py:
Add optional 'force' argument (default 0) to load_dict().
If set, redo the display even if it's the same dict.
Fri Oct 16 21:10:12 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* StackViewer.py: Do nothing when loading the same dict as before.
* PyShell.py: Details for debugger interface.
* Debugger.py:
Restructured and more consistent. Save checkboxes across instantiations.
* EditorWindow.py, Attic/README, Bindings.py:
Get rid of conflicting ^X binding. Use ^W.
* Debugger.py, StackViewer.py:
Debugger can now show local and global variables.
* Debugger.py: Oops
* Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Better debugger support (show stack etc).
* Attic/PopupMenu.py: Follow renames in StackViewer module
* StackViewer.py:
Rename classes to StackViewer (the widget) and StackBrowser (the toplevel).
* ScrolledList.py: Add close() method
* EditorWindow.py: Clarify 'Open Module' dialog text
* StackViewer.py: Restructured into a browser and a widget.
Thu Oct 15 23:27:08 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* ClassBrowser.py, ScrolledList.py:
Generalized the scrolled list which is the base for the class and
method browser into a separate class in its own module.
* Attic/test.py: Cosmetic change
* Debugger.py: Don't show function name if there is none
Wed Oct 14 03:43:05 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* Debugger.py, PyShell.py: Polish the Debugger GUI a bit.
Closing it now also does the right thing.
Tue Oct 13 23:51:13 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* Debugger.py, PyShell.py, Bindings.py:
Ad primitive debugger interface (so far it will step and show you the
source, but it doesn't yet show the stack).
* Attic/README: Misc
* StackViewer.py: Whoops -- referenced self.top before it was set.
* help.txt: Added history and completion commands.
* help.txt: Updated
* FileList.py: Add class browser functionality.
* StackViewer.py:
Add a close() method and bind to WM_DELETE_WINDOW protocol
* PyShell.py: Clear the linecache before printing a traceback
* Bindings.py: Added class browser binding.
* ClassBrowser.py: Much improved, much left to do.
* PyShell.py: Make the return key do what I mean more often.
* ClassBrowser.py:
Adding the beginnings of a Class browser. Incomplete, yet.
* EditorWindow.py, Bindings.py:
Add new command, "Open module". You select or type a module name,
and it opens the source.
Mon Oct 12 23:59:27 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* PyShell.py: Subsume functionality from Popup menu in Debug menu.
Other stuff so the PyShell window can be resurrected from the Windows menu.
* FileList.py: Get rid of PopUp menu.
Create a simple Windows menu. (Imperfect when Untitled windows exist.)
Add wakeup() method: deiconify, raise, focus.
* EditorWindow.py: Generalize menu creation.
* Bindings.py: Add Debug and Help menu items.
* EditorWindow.py: Added a menu bar to every window.
* Bindings.py: Add menu configuration to the event configuration.
* Attic/PopupMenu.py: Pass a root to the help window.
* SearchBinding.py:
Add parent argument to 'to to line number' dialog box.
Sat Oct 10 19:15:32 1998 Guido van Rossum <guido@cnri.reston.va.us>
* StackViewer.py:
Add a label at the top showing (very basic) help for the stack viewer.
Add a label at the bottom showing the exception info.
* Attic/test.py, Attic/idle: Add Unix main script and test program.
* idle.pyw, help.txt, WidgetRedirector.py, UndoDelegator.py, StackViewer.py, SearchBinding.py, Attic/README, PyShell.py, Attic/PopupMenu.py, Percolator.py, Outline.py, IOBinding.py, History.py, Attic/HelpWindow.py, FrameViewer.py, FileList.py, EditorWindow.py, Delegator.py, ColorDelegator.py, Bindings.py, AutoIndent.py, AutoExpand.py:
Initial checking of Tk-based Python IDE.
