With keeping it a StringVar, there is an issue where it writes a blank (ie, bad data) to the config file. Steps to reproduce: - Go into config dialog and click 'General' tab. - Delete value from 'Auto squeeze min line' - Click apply or OK. A warning message appears in the terminal Warning: config.py - IdleConf.GetOption - invalid 'int' value for configuration option 'auto-squeeze-min-lines' from section 'PyShell': '' - Close out of IDLE. - Start IDLE again - the warning reappears, but on the General tab, it shows the original value. The issue here is that the custom config-main.cfg is being written to (and then read back in) with the blank. I picked the auto-squeezer because it has validation on it - `validatecommand=self.digits_only`. ---------- nosy: +cheryl.sabella _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue39472> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
