IDLE question

[bobueland]

IDLE doesn't seem to honor PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable nor
sitecustomize.p y

How do you then customize in IDLE?

(basically I want to execute the statement
from btools import *
each time I restart IDLEs Python Shell)

How do you then customize in IDLE?

(basically I want to execute the statement
from btools import *
each time I restart IDLEs Python Shell)

Following works for me:

C:\Python24\pyt honw.exe E:\Python24\Lib \idlelib\idle.p y -r
E:\Python24\sit ecustomize.py

or

C:\Python24\pyt honw.exe E:\Python24\Lib \idlelib\idle.p y -c "import os;
from path import path"

content of my sitecustomize.p y is:
"
import os
from path import path
"

and both ways of invoking IDLE have the same effect (apparently of faking
execution of not shown input line) of making the modules os and the class
path available at start of IDLE.

My question in this context:
Can the PyShell.py file in C:\Python24\Lib \idlelib directory be edited
somehow to achieve same effect?

Okey I tried what you recommended

My C:\Python24\sit ecustomize.py looks like this:

# sitecustomize.p y
import os
from btools import *

When I enter
C:\Python24>C:\ Python24\python w.exe C:\Python24\Lib \idlelib\idle.p y -r
C:\Python24\sit ecustomize.py

in commad propmt IDLE starts up and automatically imports 'os' and all
names from my btools folder. So far so good. But when I hit Ctrl+F6 and
restart Python Shell both 'os' and names from btools are gone!

When I work with IDLE I typically start a new file (File/New Window)
and when I have written the code I hit (Ctrl+S) to Save and F5 to run.
This restarts Python Shell and my names from btools are gone. It's no
solution if I'm forced to go back to command prompt and enter the long
sequance again.

now a patch fixing it I have no good feeling about, but it works:

in PyShell.py in
def restart_subproc ess(self):

insert in section:
"
console.showpro mpt()
# restart subprocess debugger

# (-Patch)
# making additional modules available in IDLE directly after
re-start of it:
self.runsource( "import os; from path import path")
# (Patch-)

if debug:
"
This will provide the modules also after restart.

Hope this will not crash elsewhere because of unexpected effects of
inserting the runsource() method at that point in the code without any other
commands which are maybe necessary to keep IDLE consistent.

So IDLE experts, HELP PLEASE !!!

I did as you suggested, however

after I make a new File (File/New Window) and save and then run (F5) I
get the following alert

The Python Shell is already executing a command; please waith until it
is finished

I also get the error message

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#1 >", line 1, in -toplevel-
import os; from path import path
ImportError: No module named path

Sure you have to replace "import os; from path import path"
with " from btools import *", than you avoid the error message
but not the problem you have got with the message box.
A "solution" to the problem with the message box may be as follows:

"
console.showpro mpt()
# restart subprocess debugger

# (-Patch)
# making additional modules available in IDLE directly after
re-start of it:
self.runsource( "import os; from path import path")
time.sleep(0.1)
# (Patch-)

if debug:
"
If 0.1 doesn't work on your system, just increase the value, but this will
delay the response.
e.g. 0.001 doesn't work for me, but 0.1 does (Intel Pentium 4 running at 2.8
GHz).
