revision 1.4 of CallTipWindow.py
SF bug 546078: IDLE calltips cause application error.
Assorted crashes on Windows and Linux when trying to display a very
long calltip, most likely a Tk bug. Wormed around by clamping the
calltip display to a maximum of 79 characters (why 79? why not ...).
Bugfix candidate, for all Python releases.
Provisional fix for writefile() [SF bug # 541730].
The problem was that an exception can occur in the text.get() call or
in the write() call, when the text buffer contains non-ASCII
characters. This causes the previous contents of the file to be lost.
The provisional fix is to call str(self.text.get(...)) *before*
opening the file, so that if the exception occurs, we never open the
file.
Two orthogonal better solutions have to wait for policy decisions:
1. We could try to encode the data as Latin-1 or as UTF-8; but that
would require IDLE to grow a notion of file encoding which requires
more thought.
2. We could make backups before overwriting a file. This requires
more thought because it needs to be fast and cross-platform and
configurable.
Original patches were:
python/dist/src/Tools/idle/IOBinding.py:1.6
2.2.1, but it would be nice if people remembered to comment on their
fixes' applicability!

revision 1.3 of reindent.py
SF bug #497839: reindent chokes on empty first lines.
Reindenter.run(): copy over initial all-whitespace lines (if any, and
after normalizing to remove trailing blanks and tabs).
Bugfix candidate.
The cause seems to be that when a file URL doesn't exist,
urllib.urlopen() raises OSError instead of IOError. Simply add this
to the except clause. Not elegant, but effective. :-)
(With slight cosmetic improvements to shorten lines and a grammar fix
to a docstring.)
This addes -X and -E options to freeze. From the docstring:
-X module Like -x, except the module can never be imported by
the frozen binary.
-E: Freeze will fail if any modules can't be found (that
were not excluded using -x or -X).
The strerror attribute contained only partial information about the
exception and produced some very confusing error messages. By passing
err (the exception object itself) and letting it convert itself to a
string, the error messages are better.
