New submission from Roger Serwy <roger.se...@gmail.com>: The interactive interpreter in IDLE does not reset its compiler __future__ flags when you restart the shell.
To verify this, type into the shell: >>> from __future__ import barry_as_FLUFL >>> 1 != 2 You'll get a syntax error. Restart the shell and type >>> 1 != 2 A syntax error still occurs. The ModifiedInterpreter class in PyShell.py ultimately relies on codeop to mimic the interactive prompt. The codeop module was created specifically for remembering __future__ flags for subsequent commands. The provided patch stores the flags of the interpreter when it first initializes, and then restores them in "restart_subprocess". It's a patch against 3.2.2. ---------- components: IDLE files: patch_future.diff keywords: patch messages: 146646 nosy: ezio.melotti, serwy priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: IDLE: __future__ flags don't clear on shell restart type: behavior versions: Python 2.6, Python 2.7, Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file23557/patch_future.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13296> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
