Subject: [Idle-dev] A Question about idle

There is a bug in the IDLE configuration dialog in the 1.1 versions.
(Why not update to a newer version?)

You can change the value manually in your user config files:
1. Go to the .idlerc directory (~/.idlerc on unix/linux, Documents and
Settings\<username>\.idlerc on WinXP)
2. Open config-main.cfg with a text editor (create it if it doesn't exist)
3. Add the following two lines:
[Indent]
num-spaces = 2


I don't have version 1.1.1 handy, but hopefully this should help... let me
know if it works out.

Summary: [IDLE-BUG] HP-UX 

Initial Comment:
I recently tried to use IDLE in HP-UX system and I have encountered some errors.
I have corrected it myself, but like to report these errors/Bugs.

My  system configuration
    HP-UX  B.11.00 
    python 2.5 
    Tcl ActiveTcl8.4
    Locale "en_US.iso88591"

First time it stated ok without any problem, but the next time it gave the
follwing error message: 
The Error happend when the IDLE tred to add the filenames in to the recent file list.
===============================
filename: /mmc/users/gg00215/mypy/contact6.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/idle", line 5, in <module>
    main()
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 1402, in main
    shell = flist.open_shell()
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 275, in open_shell
    self.pyshell = PyShell(self)
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/PyShell.py", line 811, in __init__
    OutputWindow.__init__(self, flist, None, None)
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/OutputWindow.py", line 16, in __init__
    EditorWindow.__init__(self, *args)
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 248, in __init__
    self.update_recent_files_list()
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 735, in update_recent_files_list
    ufile_name = self._filename_to_unicode(file_name)
  File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 284, in _filename_to_unicode
    return filename.decode(self.filesystemencoding)
TypeError: decode() argument 1 must be string, not None
===============================

* The reason I have found out that the argument is None in File "/mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/EditorWindow.py", line 284, in _filename_to_unicodein 
   becuase the line 36:filesystemencoding = sys.getfilesystemencoding() of /mmc/users/gg00215/Python-2.5/Lib/idlelib/IOBinding.py
   returns None:
* The reason for the sys.getfilesystemencoding() is giving None is becuase of my locale which
   is en_US.iso88591.

Correction:

* I tried to fix the problem and I assumed the lcoale en_US.iso88591 is the default file
  system encoding.
* And I have modified the function  _filename_to_unicode by adding one except statement for
TypeError, the code given below.
===========
    def _filename_to_unicode(self, filename):
        """convert filename to unicode in order to display it in Tk"""
        if isinstance(filename, unicode) or not filename:
            return filename
        else:
            try:
                return filename.decode(self.filesystemencoding)
            except UnicodeDecodeError:
                # XXX
                try:
		    return filename.decode(self.encoding)
                except UnicodeDecodeError:
                    # byte-to-byte conversion
                    return filename.decode('iso8859-1')
	    #raja next twolines
	    except TypeError:
        	return filename.decode('iso8859-1')
===========

after that it worked nice, but becuase of curiosity I tried to open a text file which had a
Japanese name. Then I have encountered anotehr error/bug in IOBinding.py at function
askopenfile()
so I have modified the the code as below again adding an except statement

==================
    def askopenfile(self):
        dir, base = self.defaultfilename("open")
        if not self.opendialog:
            self.opendialog = tkFileDialog.Open(master=self.text,
                                                filetypes=self.filetypes)
        filename = self.opendialog.show(initialdir=dir, initialfile=base)
    	#raja try except
        try:
	    if isinstance(filename, unicode):
        	filename = filename.encode(filesystemencoding)
            return filename
	except TypeError:
	    return filename.encode('iso8859-1')
=======================

Now it works without any problems. I am not a professional programmer, so I would greatly
appreciate if you can fix this error with proper measures.

Thanks a lot in advance

Raj

 Hi there.
I would like to know: does tkinter supports multiple-tabs? Does exist a sort
of modified version of IDLE supporting multiple-tabs? I'd really appreciate
such feature in IDLE...

Hi,

Unfortunately, the Tk toolkit does not natively support tabbed panels.
However, tabbed panels have been implemented using the Tk toolkit - check
out IDLE configuration dialog for an example.

Tabbed pages in IDLE is the most requested new feature for IDLE for some
time. However, development of new features for IDLE is currently not
happening, because nobody is willing to spend the time and effort required.

Personally I would love to work on this, but I simply do not have the time.
I am currently a University student, and outside my studies and my part-time
job, have very little time for other projects. Perhaps in my summer break...

Sincerely,
- Tal Einat

Woohoo, an IDLE category in the cheeseshop! I'll drink to that!

I'll upload some of my extensions (such as SearchBar) ASAP.

Anyone else who has written an extension, please upload it to the cheeseshop
under this category!

I recall an HTML output extension was posted here by Michael Haubenwallner
(the link he posted doesn't work any more),
and Saul Spatz was working on an extension which saves a log of your last
shell session... how's that coming along?

I have added "Framework :: IDLE"

Thank you for the information.
I just added the IDLE2HTML extension to the cheeseshop.
