[issue16638] support multi-line docstring signatures in IDLE calltips

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: The standard calltip box is two lines: signature and docstring header. In most cases, such as int, iter, and min, the effect of this patch is to get both lines of a docstring signature, so the result is not abnormally big. And I agree with Serhiy that gett

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: As I said previously, the only reason for the change was get all the docstring signature lines for builtins, after they were changed from 1 to many. I was not thrilled with having to do this. However, I felt that just presenting the arbitrary first of many lin

Raymond Hettinger added the comment: Using Python 2.7.7 is a classroom setting revealed that this change is sometimes helpful and sometimes problematic. The big tip windows are VERY distracting during live coding demos and learners are reporting that it breaks their concentration. On the othe

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Main change is using a custom function (2.7) or bytes instead of int for test and using maxsplit parameter to not needlessly split a 100-line docstring into 100 pieces. -- resolution: -> fixed stage: patch review -> committed/rejected status: open ->

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: See #20338 for why I think 70 (or even 79, the limit in CallTipWindow) is too low a limit. The purpose of grabbing multiple lines is to get the signature lines of builtins. I believe the max number of lines needed is 5, for bytes. however, identifying likely

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: I think we should add empty lines after signatures in all docstrings where it needed (i.e. for super()). Here is a command which shows calltips for all builtins: ./python -c "from idlelib.CallTips import get_argspec, get_entity; import builtins for name in

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment: Here is a patch moved from issue16629. I think this is a bugfix, because current behavior is wrong. Many functions (i.e. int, str, list, dict) have multiline signatures and IDLE shows only first line in a tip. I.e. "int(x=0) -> integer" showed for int(), but
