I had a similar reaction, "weird", when I tried the isolated prompt a year or whatever ago. I don't remember if I also changed the indent for that. But when testing this patch, with space indents, a longer time, most of the weird feeling dissipated and I realized that I might possibly prefer this, at least sometimes. Another reason I proposed the isolated prompt as the *current* default is that some (many?) people like to save the shell as a record of their session. With prompts in the sidebar, saving the shell *currently* results in a text record with no prompts. (And, of course, no highlighting.) I can read it, but I expect that most people would prefer isolated prompts to no prompts I discussed the need for shell saving options both above and in msg392163, posted to #37904 a few hours ago. I do not currently expect anything before next Monday. If a followup PR, zipping the sidebar with text when saving, were prepared before then, I would be more favorable to making sidebar the current default. I plan to ask for more opinions on idle-dev and python-list later today. ---------- stage: patch review -> needs patch versions: -Python 3.9 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37892> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
