[issue14937] IDLE's deficiency in the completion of file names (Python 32, Windows XP)

[Roger Serwy]

Roger Serwy <roger.serwy at gmail.com> added the comment:

The "open_completions" method in AutoComplete.py is where the bug exists. When mode == COMPLETE_FILES, the code searches for characters within the ASCII set, plus a few others contained in FILENAME_CHARS. 

Attached is a patch to also include characters beyond the ASCII set during the backward search. If anyone knows of a better technique, please comment. 

Fransisco, thanks for reporting this issue. If you find more, please let us know.
