Category: IDLE Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 4 Submitted By: Chris Rebert (rebertc) Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: IDLE line wrapping Initial Comment: As IDLE is the 'official' python editor and PEP 8 (Style Guide PEP) suggests that coders wrap lines at 79 characters, I propose that IDLE should assist this practice by highlighting lines or parts of lines longer than 79 chacacters, or something similar. It is suggested that this be a pref toggleable in the "Configure IDLE" window and be turned on by default to encourage good coding practices. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2005-02-20 11:00 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 I'd agree with Raymond. Three things have been done to help with this: first, the default window width is set at 80 char. Second, there is a column number indicator in the lower right, it's easy to keep an eye on it when you're typing a long line. Finally, there is a paragraph formatting feature which will re-wrap comments and doc strings to a configurable width. Now if Sourceforge could just do something clever to fix the farging line wrap in these comment windows.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2005-02-20 05:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 I would find this to be an annoyance. Passing to Kurt for pronouncement. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1124503&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
