Please forgive me for my ignorance, but how does one offer patches to IDLE? At http://vpython.org/vidle/patch.diff is a patch from the idlelib installed with Windows Python3.1.2 to vidle, where vidle incorporates the work done in the 2009 GSoC by Guilherme Polo, updated for Python 3. For details, see my posts of Sept. 14.
I have several questions: 1) Is the idlelib shipped with Windows Python 3.1.2 the right base to diff against? 2) If not, against what base should I make the diff? 3) Is one diff for all of idlelib okay, or does one submit separate diff files for each file? 4) How/where do I formally offer this diff? I've never done this before. I should add that just today I remade the diff at http://vpython.org/vidle/patch.diff because I discovered that I'd missed an important correction Guilherme had made. The error is present in the Python 3.1.2 idlelib. In IOBinding.py one should delete this statement: self.text.see("insert") Unless this statement is deleted, when you open a long file the first line is not seen; it's above the edit display. This can be pretty confusing. Bruce Sherwood _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list IDLE-dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
