Nick ODell added the comment: I've added a short note regarding breakpoints in Doc/library/idle.rst Ned, I'm not an experienced user with IDLE by any means, but I think some documentation is better than none, no? ---------- nosy: +Nick.ODell Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file22268/idle.rst _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue10405 _______________________________________

Todd Rovito added the comment: Nick, I agree some documentation is better than none. But somebody could do better I am not sure how to debug in IDLE. I have taken your file and created a 2.7 patch. ---------- keywords: +patch type: -> enhancement versions: -Python 3.1, Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file27627/IDLEBreakPointDocumentation2point7.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue10405 _______________________________________

Ned Deily added the comment: Thanks for your suggestions, Nick and Todd. While reviewing them, I realized that there is also a small context (right-click) menu for the IDLE shell window as well. I expanded the doc changes to include it and included several other minor doc updates. I also updated the builtin IDLE Help file. By the way, if you haven't already and wish to contribute patches, please be sure to sign a PSF contributor agreement (http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/). ---------- resolution: -> fixed stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed type: enhancement -> versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker http://bugs.python.org/issue10405 _______________________________________
