Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I tested (and tweaked) the visible box with this: from idlelib.run import show_socket_error show_socket_error(OSError(61, 'connection refused'), ('port', 8888)) URL was tested with cut-and-paste from run.py.
This should be turned into an htest (human view test). I did not do so now because I wanted get this into 3.6.2, and there is no indication of when the grace-period delay will end. Message boxes do not allow copy to clipboard. A nice refinement would be a [View URL] button. I believe the code to do so is somewhere in IDLE. Or the F1 Python Docs code, which opens the Windows help version, should be adjustable to open to a specific topic. ---------- versions: +Python 3.7 -Python 2.7, Python 3.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue25514> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
