Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: My question about the idea is whether beginners would use this, or if it is the sort of 'expert' feature that IDLE should avoid. I may ask on python-list for more opinions.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49677886/python-idle-symbol-completion/49684824#49684824 adds a vote in favor. It also prompted me to review the patch. Since I said, 4 years ago, that the feature should be an extension, we have converted extensions to features. So the patch needs re-writing, as I outlined. (Although there is now an extension configuration dialog, it is no longer a dependency of this issue.) I am not convinced that we need 5 configuration options, especially since I do not understand 2 of them ;-). Do symbol and quote fences need to be separately enabled? Does anyone known what other IDEs do? ---------- dependencies: -IDLE - Add an extension configuration dialog versions: +Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue18875> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
