[issue12510] IDLE get_the_calltip mishandles raw strings

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: 'a'(, [](, {}( no longer do anything. [int][0]( and {0:int}[0] bring up int tooltip. However, patch is not a complete fix yet. [int][1]( and {0:int}[1] both 'crash' Idle. So we need to add IndexError and KeyError to +except (NameError, AttributeErro

Roger Serwy added the comment: Terry, the original patch added "Not callable" because I wasn't sure what the consensus was on proper behavior. Now I know. :) Attached is a revision against 3.3a3+ which omits the calltip if the object is not callable. The behavior difference between 2.7 and 3

Ned Deily added the comment: The problem is easily reproducible. Although it shouldn't give that error (and that can be fixed), it seems to me that IDLE should not be trying to give a calltip in that context. What it is trying to do is display the __doc__ attribute of the string but the __do

[issue12510] IDLE get_the_calltip mishandles raw strings

New submission from Roy Fox : Hi, When you type (not copy-paste!) into an IDLE shell a string literal followed by ( you get a calltip. When the string contains a bad unicode escaping you get an error (see example below), which makes some sense. But when the string is raw, it isn't treated as
