Yes, changing settings on ZzDummy works correctly, but this is because an entry for it exists in the default config file. The problem is when if you attempt to add a new extension through the user config file. When IDLE is looking for extensions to load, it only checks the default config file, not the user config file. So if I add a new extension entry to my ~/.idlerc/config-extensions.cfg file, "[lintcheck]\nenable = True", and have a module installed on my system called "lintcheck", with a class named "lintcheck". Because IDLE is only looking in the default config file for extensions to load, it never finds lintcheck and therefore it is never loaded. On the contrary, if it were in the system default config file, IDLE would find it and "lintcheck" would be loaded. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45357> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
