New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu>:
IDLE currently defines the same set of chars in 5 places with 5 names. (Listed by Serhiy Storchaka in #45669.) Lib/idlelib/autoexpand.py:20: wordchars = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_" Lib/idlelib/undo.py:254: alphanumeric = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_" Lib/idlelib/editor.py:809: IDENTCHARS = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_" Lib/idlelib/hyperparser.py:13:_ASCII_ID_CHARS = frozenset(string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_") Lib/idlelib/autocomplete.py:33:ID_CHARS = string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_" I suspect that either a string or frozenset would work everywhere (check). I will pick a name after checking this. The single definition would go in the proposed utils.py, which is part of another issue and PR. (Note: the utility tk index functions should also go there.) ---------- assignee: terry.reedy components: IDLE messages: 405516 nosy: terry.reedy priority: normal severity: normal stage: test needed status: open title: IDLE: define word/id chars in one place. type: enhancement versions: Python 3.11 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue45692> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
