If the only correct solution is really to reimplement the selection, then it would be better to do it anyway, but I don't think it is. I'm interested in knowing how many interactive shells implement this same behaviour, or if there are that many I would like at least some examples. I'm unsure about the usefulness of the current functionality (supposing it was working as intended). > I don't know how far back this would work: I've tested it with Tk 8.5 > and 8.4. > All versions of 8.4 ? I've seen complaints about early releases of tk 8.4 and the use of the unsupported function. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4676> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
