IDLE Extension: CallTips

[Mark Hammond]

Guido suggested a few changes to CallTips.py as posted, making it work very
nicely.  I attach a version with the following changes:

* Cancelling of the Call Tips is now robust, due to knowing the magic events
to hook.

* Turns out my code was Windows specific (surprise :-)  Seems Tkinter on
windows recongises "Key-(" but Unix does not.  Changed to "<Key-parenleft>",
and it works fine on Unix (so Im told <wink>)

* Comments updated, and code cleaned slightly.

This has now been checked into the Python CVS tree - if you are interested,
please follow further updates there.

Enjoy!

Mark.
