This is just a quick report after a brief test. I just **love** the way
the prompt is now shown. I am convinced that beginners will be much less
confused with understanding indentation when using IDLE.
I also did a quick test with friendly (formally known as
friendly-traceback) and can happily report that support for custom
excepthook appears to have been unaffected by the latest changes.
Please see my other followup post. When code is run in the system
console/terminal, name and attribute error messages may be augmented
with a suggestion at to what one meant. These hints are not directly
accessible from python code. But we figured out how to get them
indirectly (https://bugs.python.org/issue44026). My other post has an
example using the current version of the patch.
I will do more testing in the near future (and likely do a brief demo
during a presentation at the upcoming PyCon Education Summit). I do not
plan to report further on this list unless I find problems.
When we backport to 3.9, I would like to inform educators that they
might want to upgrade to 3.9.5 or 3.10 when released. I will be happy
for you to start the process. I will ask you later for advice.
Thank you all for the work done to constantly improve IDLE.
Thank you for the feedback.
