[New-bugs-announce] [issue33839] IDLE tooltips.py: refactor and add docstrings and tests

[Terry J. Reedy]

New submission from Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu>:

calltip_w.py code is partly based on tooltip.py.  The latter is currently unused.  But it is needed, with changes, for squeezer (#1529353).  So I would like to see if we can make an improved Tooltip class that can be used or subclassed by both.

The current subclasses should be deleted unless actually used.  Docstrings should be added to what remains.  Then test_tooltip, with 100% coverage, should be added.  If needed, code can be changed to make testing easier.
