Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment: I verified the bug by creating a copy of idlelib/help.txt, making the new help entry, testing it, deleting the copy, and retesting -- IDLE silently disappears. (A copy is necessary because IDLE checks that the file exists and gives a similar message as in the patch before posting the new menu item.) I decided that since a file can get renamed, moved, or deleted for various reasons, failure to open it should be caught.
I them tested my patch, found and fixed an typo-error (yes, testing is good even for simple patches!), found and fixed another bug in one of the two functions, and committed. r87598, r97599, r87600 ---------- resolution: -> fixed status: open -> closed Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file20209/z6285.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue6285> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
