Terry J. Reedy added the comment: On idledev, Jeff Silverman requested autosave, I presume for editor windows. If one is doing closely interactive development, hitting F5 to save and run every few minutes, this would not be necessary. But if not, ... I know that autosaves in other programs (editors and games) have saved me lots of trouble more than once.
Saving every n minutes should be trivial using .after. With slightly more work, it could be every n minute the window is active (has the focus). Any untimed save should reset the timer. Since IDLE looks at every keystroke (I believe), counting keystrokes and saving every n keystrokes might be possible. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21152> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
