Hello everyone,
there have already been a couple of threads about IDLE's sometimes
annoying disability to use special characters (in my case I would like
to use for example german umlauts like "ä" etc.).
I have made a workaround that *seems* to work, so I can at least store
files in the editor that use such characters ( on the python shell I
still get:
UnicodeError: ASCII encoding error: ordinal not in range(128)
but that does not matter much to me).
However I don't know very much about encoding issues, so maybe someone
can tell me if there might be problems that I don't see at the moment.
Here's what I did:
I changed one line in the writefile function in IOBinding.py into a
try-except statement. My function now looks like this:
def writefile(self, filename):
self.fixlastlin e()
#chars = str(self.text.g et("1.0", "end-1c"))#origina l line
#workaround to fix the "umlaut" problem:
try:
chars = str(self.text.g et("1.0", "end-1c"))
except:
c = self.text.get(" 1.0", "end-1c")
chars = ''
for i in c:
j = ord(i)
k = chr(j)
chars = chars + k
chars = str(chars)
#end of workaround
try:
f = open(filename, "w")
f.write(chars)
f.close()
## print "saved to", `filename`
return 1
except IOError, msg:
tkMessageBox.sh owerror("I/O Error", str(msg),
master=self.tex t)
return 0
This may take a few seconds if you want to save a large file, but at
least it is better as if it wasn't possible at all.
Any hints on this would be very appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

I recommend to use the IDLE that comes with Python 2.3.

Hi.
I use Idle 1.1.1 on Python 2.4.1.
The "Ctrl-" key bindings for indenting do not work on
non-us keyboards where brackets are accessed by the "Alt Gr" key.
The Tab key seem to work for indenting a selected textblock on my
swedish keyboard, but Shift-tab does not dedent as you would have
expected.

I want to log the user out when there has been a period of inactivity in
the application. The key here is inactivity of the application, not the
system. I know that you can retrieve the inactivity of the system via
GetLastInputInfo. That's not what I want - I want inactivity of the
application.
Thanks.

How can I tell if the system is 'idle', or the screen saver is
running, or the machine is locked?
I am writing an application that could really benefit from knowing
this information. During 'idle' time, I could do some of the slightly
heavier processing; during the 'working' time, I would display the
non-intrusive notifications that I don't want my customer to miss.
I see that I can apparently set the thread priority of my background...

Greetings,
I am currently trying to learn Python through the excellent
"Learning Python" book. I wrote my first non-trivial program, which
began with several comment lines. One of the comment lines began with
'#hash'. IDLE doesn't colorize it as a comment line but instead colors
the word 'hash' in purple as if it were a key word. Wierd. The behavior
seems easy to trigger: Just open up a new window in IDLE and enter
these two lines:

i continue to footle around on my spanking new ultra 20 (1.8GHz /

the slow print time in IDLE had already struck me as rather odd.
running programs with heavy print requirements from the terminal was a
major discovery though, printing being so fast as to make everything
appear at once except in the case of literally thousands of items to be

Hello,
Sorry bothering you with such a trivial problem.
I installed python on a new mac at office.
It seems everything is fine: in the console, I access to python.
But I just can't start Idle. It seems to open but closes immediately (it appears
in the dock and closes immediately).
It is also impossible to open any .py file.

Hello everyone,
In your experience, what is system idle process doing? In my
experience, this means system is (CPU is waiting for) doing some I/O,
1. like hard page fault;
2. waiting for information from network.
Are there any other cases which will cause system idle process happen

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
