Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Thank you for reporting this. My general problem is that idlelib was only informally private until PEP434 and I only started adding 'private' and 'deprecated' to the code a week ago. So I am trying to make changes in existing versions while not breaking even unlikely uses of the current API. The specific problem is the the class init method *is* used -- to create an unused instance -- on import.
helpDialog = HelpDialog() # singleton instance, no longer used The patch fixes the problem by moving the deprecation to the show method, which Idle really does not now call. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue16893> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
