I see mention of bracket matching in the patches. Is this neat feature planned for inclusion anytime soon? Is there some way I can include it now? jab -- John Bollinger, CFA, CMT www.BollingerBands.com If you advance far enough, you arrive at the beginning.

It's been checked into the Python SVN as part of Noam Raphael's 'syntax' patch. -- KBK From kbk at shore.net Fri Jan 13 20:55:34 2006 From: kbk at shore.net (Kurt B.

Do you need/want user reports? Sure. General comments go here on idle-dev, bugs/patches/feature requests go on the Python Sourceforge Trackers. -- KBK From yohell at ifm.liu.se Fri Jan 27 19:36:37 2006 From: yohell at ifm.liu.se (Joel Hedlund) Date: Fri, 27 Jan 2006 19:36:37 +0100 Subject: [Idle-dev] Thank you for IDLE! :-) Message-ID: <43DA6835.4020601@ifm.liu.se> Hello! I want to express my gratitude to the people behind IDLE, the best Python IDE I've seen yet. Once every third month or so I spend a day or so looking for a Python editor that surpasses IDLE. I've been doing this for 2 years, but nothing else even comes close in reliability, usability and functionality. IDLE is still king of the hill.

These include: 1. No word-wrap provision. While Python "purists" might be happy to limit code to 80-character width, I see this as an unnecessary restriction and like the free-form coding that is possible with word-wrap. 2. Indent variation. The default appears to be 8 characters. I like to use two characters but it seems impossible to change this globally in any way that is reliable. If I set the indent to 2 spaces in "Options" "Configure Idle", the default value in "Format" "New Indent Width" shows 4, even though the code is using 8 !!!. The editor also gets very confused between spaces and tabs, so that if the indent is changed, IDLE then treats the indent of that line as spaces, not tabs. 3. There is no provision to show hidden characters (e.g. tabs, spaces, line-feeds). If these are shown, it makes many coding errors much easier to find. 4. No provision for line numbers. 5. The very nice feature where the current procedure and loop is shown at the top of the page is related to the position of the top of the screen, not the cursor position. Come on, surely it can't be too hard to link this to cursor position. Just a few improvements that would move the editor into the exceptional class, but without them, it is very frustrating.
