Code Editor : help.txt

This file, idlelib/help.txt is out-of-date and no longer used by Idle.
It is deprecated and will be removed in the future, possibly in 3.6
----------------------------------------------------------------------

[See the end of this file for ** TIPS ** on using IDLE !!]

IDLE is the Python IDE built with the tkinter GUI toolkit.

IDLE has the following features:
-coded in 100% pure Python, using the tkinter GUI toolkit
-cross-platform: works on Windows, Unix, and OS X
-multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing, smart indent,
call tips, and many other features
-Python shell window (a.k.a interactive interpreter)
-debugger (not complete, but you can set breakpoints, view and step)

Menus:

IDLE has two window types the Shell window and the Editor window. It is
possible to have multiple editor windows simultaneously. IDLE's
menus dynamically change based on which window is currently selected. Each menu
documented below indicates which window type it is associated with.

File Menu (Shell and Editor):

New File         -- Create a new file editing window
        Open...          -- Open an existing file
        Open Module...   -- Open an existing module (searches sys.path)
        Recent Files...  -- Open a list of recent files
        Class Browser    -- Show classes and methods in current file
        Path Browser     -- Show sys.path directories, modules, classes,
                            and methods
        ---
        Save             -- Save current window to the associated file (unsaved
                            windows have a * before and after the window title)

Save As...       -- Save current window to new file, which becomes
                            the associated file
        Save Copy As...  -- Save current window to different file
                            without changing the associated file
        ---
        Print Window     -- Print the current window
        ---
        Close            -- Close current window (asks to save if unsaved)
        Exit             -- Close all windows, quit (asks to save if unsaved)

Edit Menu (Shell and Editor):

Undo             -- Undo last change to current window
                            (a maximum of 1000 changes may be undone)
        Redo             -- Redo last undone change to current window
        ---
        Cut              -- Copy a selection into system-wide clipboard,

                        Editor window.  If the module has not been saved IDLE
                        will prompt the user to save the code.
        Run Module   -- Restart the shell to clean the environment, then
                        execute the currently open module. If the module has
                        not been saved IDLE will prompt the user to save the
                        code.

** TIPS **
==========

Additional Help Sources:

Windows users can Google on zopeshelf.chm to access Zope help files in
        the Windows help format.  The Additional Help Sources feature of the
        configuration GUI supports .chm, along with any other filetypes
        supported by your browser.  Supply a Menu Item title, and enter the
        location in the Help File Path slot of the New Help Source dialog.  Use
        http:// and/or www. to identify external URLs, or download the file and
        browse for its path on your machine using the Browse button.

All users can access the extensive sources of help, including
        tutorials, available at docs.python.org.  Selected URLs can be added
        or removed from the Help menu at any time using Configure IDLE.

Basic editing and navigation:

Backspace deletes char to the left; DEL deletes char to the right.
        Control-backspace deletes word left, Control-DEL deletes word right.
        Arrow keys and Page Up/Down move around.
        Control-left/right Arrow moves by words in a strange but useful way.
        Home/End go to begin/end of line.
        Control-Home/End go to begin/end of file.
        Some useful Emacs bindings are inherited from Tcl/Tk:
                Control-a     beginning of line
                Control-e     end of line
                Control-k     kill line (but doesn't put it in clipboard)
                Control-l     center window around the insertion point
        Standard keybindings (like Control-c to copy and Control-v to
        paste) may work.  Keybindings are selected in the Configure IDLE
        dialog.

Automatic indentation:

After a block-opening statement, the next line is indented by 4 spaces
        (in the Python Shell window by one tab).  After certain keywords
        (break, return etc.) the next line is dedented.  In leading
        indentation, Backspace deletes up to 4 spaces if they are there.  Tab
        inserts spaces (in the Python Shell window one tab), number depends on
        Indent Width. Currently tabs are restricted to four spaces due
        to Tcl/Tk limitations.

See also the indent/dedent region commands in the edit menu.

Completions:

Completions are supplied for functions, classes, and attributes of
        classes, both built-in and user-defined.  Completions are also provided
        for filenames.

The AutoCompleteWindow (ACW) will open after a predefined delay
        (default is two seconds) after a '.' or (in a string) an os.sep is
        typed.  If after one of those characters (plus zero or more other
        characters) a tab is typed the ACW will open immediately if a possible
        continuation is found.

If there is only one possible completion for the characters entered, a
        tab will supply that completion without opening the ACW.

'Show Completions' will force open a completions window, by default the
        Control-space keys will open a completions window.  In an empty
        string, this will contain the files in the current directory.  On a
        blank line, it will contain the built-in and user-defined functions and
        classes in the current name spaces, plus any modules imported.  If some
        characters have been entered, the ACW will attempt to be more specific.

If string of characters is typed, the ACW selection will jump to the
        entry most closely matching those characters. Entering a tab will cause
        the longest non-ambiguous match to be entered in the Edit window or
        Shell.  Two tabs in a row will supply the current ACW selection, as
        will return or a double click.  Cursor keys, Page Up/Down, mouse
        selection, and the scroll wheel all operate on the ACW.

"Hidden" attributes can be accessed by typing the beginning of hidden
        name after a '.',  e.g. '_'.  This allows access to modules with
        '__all__' set, or to class-private attributes.

Completions and the 'Expand Word' facility can save a lot of typing!

Completions are currently limited to those in the namespaces.  Names in
        an Editor window which are not via __main__ or sys.modules will not be
        found.  Run the module once with your imports to correct this
        situation.  Note that IDLE itself places quite a few modules in
        sys.modules, so much can be found by default, e.g. the re module.

If you don't like the ACW popping up unbidden, simply make the delay
        longer or disable the extension.  Or another option is the delay could
        be set to zero. Another alternative to preventing ACW popups is to
        disable the call tips extension.

Python Shell window:

Control-c interrupts executing command.
        Control-d sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at >>> prompt.
        Alt-/ expand word is also useful to reduce typing.

Command history:

Alt-p retrieves previous command matching what you have typed. On OS X
        use Control-p.
        Alt-n retrieves next. On OS X use Control-n.
        Return while cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command.

Syntax colors:

The coloring is applied in a background "thread", so you may
        occasionally see uncolorized text.  To change the color
        scheme, use the Configure IDLE / Highlighting dialog.

Python default syntax colors:

Keywords        orange
        Builtins        royal purple
        Strings         green
        Comments        red
        Definitions     blue

Shell default colors:

Console output  brown
        stdout          blue
        stderr          red
        stdin           black

Other preferences:

The font preferences, highlighting, keys, and general preferences can
        be changed via the Configure IDLE menu option.  Be sure to note that
        keys can be user defined, IDLE ships with four built in key sets. In
        addition a user can create a custom key set in the Configure IDLE
        dialog under the keys tab.

Command line usage:

Enter idle -h at the command prompt to get a usage message.

idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ...

-c command  run this command
        -d          enable debugger
        -e          edit mode; arguments are files to be edited
        -s          run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP first
        -t title    set title of shell window

If there are arguments:
        1. If -e is used, arguments are files opened for editing and sys.argv
           reflects the arguments passed to IDLE itself.
        2. Otherwise, if -c is used, all arguments are placed in
           sys.argv[1:...], with sys.argv[0] set to -c.
        3. Otherwise, if neither -e nor -c is used, the first argument is a
           script which is executed with the remaining arguments in
           sys.argv[1:...]  and sys.argv[0] set to the script name.  If the
           script name is -, no script is executed but an interactive Python
           session is started; the arguments are still available in sys.argv.

Running without a subprocess: (DEPRECATED in Python 3.4 see Issue 16123)

If IDLE is started with the -n command line switch it will run in a
        single process and will not create the subprocess which runs the RPC
        Python execution server.  This can be useful if Python cannot create
        the subprocess or the RPC socket interface on your platform.  However,
        in this mode user code is not isolated from IDLE itself.  Also, the
        environment is not restarted when Run/Run Module (F5) is selected.  If
        your code has been modified, you must reload() the affected modules and
        re-import any specific items (e.g. from foo import baz) if the changes
        are to take effect.  For these reasons, it is preferable to run IDLE
        with the default subprocess if at all possible.

Extensions:

IDLE contains an extension facility.  See the beginning of
        config-extensions.def in the idlelib directory for further information.
