New submission from Mitchell Model <m...@acm.org>: The main thing the patch does is: modify the subprocess restart procedure so that it reloads whatever file, if any, was loaded when IDLE first started and looked for IDLESTARTUP then PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables.
In addition: a -q option is added for starting IDLE on the command line to mean "quiet", as with Emacs, e.g., to suppress loading of IDLESTARTUP or PYTHONSTARTUP The former effect of -s would now be the default, which is desirable so double-clicking an IDLE icon to start it will cause the startup file to run. -s is changed to take an argument that is an alternate startup file to use I am a bit concerned about changing -s to have a different meaning. Perhaps it's better to leave -s as an option that is simplhy superfluous and use a different letter for the alternate startup. ---------- components: IDLE files: PyShell-2.7.diff keywords: patch messages: 81831 nosy: MLModel severity: normal status: open title: Enhance 2.7 IDLE to exec IDLESTARTUP/PYTHONSTARTUP on restart type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file13058/PyShell-2.7.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5233> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
