Hi,
I'm taking my first steps in using eric4 to create and debug Python
applications.
Since I'm also quite new to Python, I'm trying to write the (important)
indents as much as possible correct immediately. However, nobody's
perfect, that's why I find it very good that eric4 has a tool/option to
check the indentations (when you're editing a Python file, right-click
and select "Check -> indentations...").
However, I tried out the tool with the following small piece of code:
import wx
class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
""" We simply derive a new class of Frame. """
def __init__(self, parent, id, title):
wx.Frame.__init__(self, parent, id, title, size=(200,100)) <===
THIS LINE HAS A WRONG INDENT
self.control = wx.TextCtrl(self, 1, style=wx.TE_MULTILINE)
self.Show(True)
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame=MainWindow(None, wx.ID_ANY, 'Small editor')
app.MainLoop()
As one can see, after the "def __init__()" line, there's a ":", so the
next line *must* be indented. I deliberately started the new line at
the leftmost position and ran the indentation check.
To my surprise, the check passed, while I would have expected to see a
failure here.
In the editor itself, on the other hand, checking this looks good
because I saw the "red bug" on the left for as long as the indentation
was not correct.
Then I saw that "Check -> Syntax..." was giving me the error, as long as
any of the indentations were incorrect.
What's the difference between "Check -> Indentations..." and "Check ->
Syntax..." with respect to indentations? This difference is not clear
to me...
