[issue17583] IDLE HOWTO
by Todd Rovito April 2, 2013

April 2, 2013

Todd Rovito added the comment: Sorry about using the wrong word, I should of used HowTo not FAQ. I really meant to suggest replacing guide with the word HowTo. A HowTo would be perfect!!!! Sorry about the confusion. Thanks again. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17583> _______________________________________

[issue17583] IDLE HOWTO
by Ezio Melotti April 1, 2013

April 1, 2013

Ezio Melotti added the comment: I added a few more comments. To clarify, when I said two documents, I meant that there will be only a single HOWTO, but on 2.7 it will be specific to Python 2, whereas on 3.x it will be specific to Python 3. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17583> _______________________________________

[issue7057] tkinter doc: more 3.x updates
by Ned Deily April 1, 2013

April 1, 2013

Ned Deily added the comment: I just noticed that the changes committed earlier for this issue added a reference to the Tcl/Tk 8.6 man pages. Since there are known problems with using 8.6 with tkinter (for example, Issue16809) and we don't currently ship 8.6 with any of our binary installers, it would be better to reference the 8.5 man pages until the status of 8.6 support is resolved. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue7057> _______________________________________

[issue17583] IDLE HOWTO
by Todd Rovito April 1, 2013

April 1, 2013

Todd Rovito added the comment: Ezio, I left a few comments on rietveld. This is a really nice start to a great FAQ. Thanks for your contribution I think Python needs a nice FAQ on IDLE. You might want to add some detail about the right click menu which allows a user to cut, copy, paste, and set breakpoints. I think a section on the debugger would be excellent. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue17583> _______________________________________
