Re: [Idle-dev] A possible bug in IDLE 1.2b2

[Tal Einat]

Several days ago I submitted a patch which addresses this issue: SF patch 1528468.

 

This will probably be included in Python 2.6.

The IDLE that comes with Python 1.5 beta has a problem. While the Alt+p retrieves the previous command issued to the prompt, there was another way to do that in IDLE v1.1.2 that came with Python 2.4. If I just clicked on a previous command and hit ENTER, the command would appear again in the new prompt. As follows,

 

IDLE 1.1.2     

>>> def hello(name):

            if name=='me':

                        print 'Hello you!'

            else:

                        print 'Hello '+name

 

                       

>>> hello('James')

Hello James

 

Now clicking on the line hello(…) and hitting ENTER, we get the following again.

>>> def hello(name):

            if name=='me':

                        print 'Hello you!'

            else:

                        print 'Hello '+name

 

 

 

But with the new IDLE it is not so. Doing the same would yield the following,

 

IDLE 1.2b2     

>>> def hello(name):

            if name=='me':

                        print 'Hello you'

            else:

                        print 'Hello '+name

 

                       

>>> hello('me')

Hello you

 

Now, again clicking on hello(...) definition line and hitting ENTER, we get the following

>>> def hello(name):

            if name=='me':

                        print 'Hello you'

                        else:

                                    print 'Hello '+name

 

                                   

SyntaxError: invalid syntax
