see the following:
lac@smartwheels:~/junk$ echo "print ('hello there')" >string.py
lac@smartwheels:~/junk$ idle-python3.5
hello there
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/idlelib/run.py", line 10, in <module>
from idlelib import CallTips
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/idlelib/CallTips.py", line 16, in <module>
from idlelib.HyperParser import HyperParser
File "/usr/lib/python3.5/idlelib/HyperParser.py", line 14, in <module>
_ASCII_ID_CHARS = frozenset(string.ascii_letters + string.digits + "_")
AttributeError: module 'string' has no attribute 'ascii_letters'
IDLE then produces a popup that says:
IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE can't stat a subprocess
por personal firewall software is blocking the connection. <ok>
--------
I think that life would be a whole lot easier for people if instead we got
a message:
Warning: local file /u/lac/junk/string.py shadows module named string in the
Standard Library
I think that it is python exec that would have to do this -- though of
course the popup could also warn about shadowing in general, instead of
sending people on wild goose chases over their firewalls.
Would this be hard to do?
