The Additional Help Sources feature of the + configuration GUI supports .chm, along with any other filetypes + supported by your browser. Supply a Menu Item title, and enter the + location in the Help File Path slot of the New Help Source dialog. Use + http:// and/or www. to identify external URLs, or download the file and + browse for its path on your machine using the Browse button. + + All users can access the extensive sources of help, including + tutorials, available at www.python.org/doc. Selected URLs can be added + or removed from the Help menu at any time using Configure IDLE. + +Basic editing and navigation: + + Backspace deletes char to the left; DEL deletes char to the right. + Control-backspace deletes word left, Control-DEL deletes word right. + Arrow keys and Page Up/Down move around. + Control-left/right Arrow moves by words in a strange but useful way. + Home/End go to begin/end of line. + Control-Home/End go to begin/end of file. + Some useful Emacs bindings (Control-a, Control-e, Control-k, etc.) + are inherited from Tcl/Tk. + Standard Windows bindings may work on that platform. + Keybindings are selected in the Settings Dialog, look there. + +Automatic indentation: + + After a block-opening statement, the next line is indented by 4 spaces + (in the Python Shell window by one tab). After certain keywords + (break, return etc.) the next line is dedented. In leading + indentation, Backspace deletes up to 4 spaces if they are there. Tab + inserts spaces (in the Python Shell window one tab), number depends on + Indent Width. (N.B. Currently tabs are restricted to four spaces due + to Tcl/Tk issues.) + + See also the indent/dedent region commands in the edit menu. + +Python Shell window: + + Control-c interrupts executing command. + Control-d sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at >>> prompt + (this is Control-z on Windows). + + Command history: + + Alt-p retrieves previous command matching what you have typed. + Alt-n retrieves next. + (These are Control-p, Control-n on the Mac) + Return while cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command. + Expand word is also useful to reduce typing. + + Syntax colors: + + The coloring is applied in a background "thread", so you may + occasionally see uncolorized text. To change the color + scheme, use the Configure IDLE / Highlighting dialog. + + Python default syntax colors: + + Keywords orange + Builtins royal purple + Strings green + Comments red + Definitions blue + + Shell default colors: + + Console output brown + stdout blue + stderr red + stdin black + +Other preferences: + + The font preferences, keybinding, and startup preferences can + be changed using the Settings dialog. + +Command line usage: + + Enter idle -h at the command prompt to get a usage message. + +Running without a subprocess: + + If IDLE is started with the -n command line switch it will run in a + single process and will not create the subprocess which runs the RPC + Python execution server. This can be useful if Python cannot create + the subprocess or the RPC socket interface on your platform. However, + in this mode user code is not isolated from IDLE itself. Also, the + environment is not restarted when Run/Run Module (F5) is selected. If + your code has been modified, you must reload() the affected modules and + re-import any specific items (e.g. from foo import baz) if the changes + are to take effect. For these reasons, it is preferable to run IDLE + with the default subprocess if at all possible. |
