[issue1350] IDLE - CallTips enhancement - show full doc-string in new window

[Kurt B. Kaiser]

Kurt B. Kaiser <kbk at shore.net> added the comment:

I think that because of the re-write of CallTips.py for py3k that we 
would need separate patches for 2.7 and 3.1.  I suggest dropping the 
idea of adding the functionality to 2.7 unless OP wants to provide a 
separate patch against TRUNK.  Because of the re-write, svn-merge will 
fail totally unless the rewrite is backported (which would have to be 
done as a separate patch, first.)  Let's forget 2.x for this.

We already are using inspect and the added functionality intended here 
should be implemented as a patch against current py3k HEAD.  This patch 
won't appy.  Also, if there is more new functionality than just the doc 
string window, it should be broken out into separate patches.

The added functionality is useful, but this patch is not the way to go.
