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
This directory contains a number of Python programs that are useful while building or extending Python. audiopy Audiopy is a program to control the Solaris audio device, allowing you to choose both the input and output devices, and to set the output volume, that can be run either as a command-line script, or as a Tkinter application. bgen Generate complete extension modules from a description. Still under development! compiler Tools used to maintain the compiler package in the standard library. faqwiz FAQ Wizard. See http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw.py for a live example. freeze Create a stand-alone executable from a Python program. i18n Tools for internationalization. pygettext.py parses Python source code and generates .pot files, and msgfmt.py generates a binary message catalog from a catalog in text format. idle A Tkinter-based Python IDE. modulator Interactively generate boiler plate for an extension module. Works easiest if you have Tk. pynche A Tkinter-based color editor. scripts A number of useful single-file programs, e.g. tabnanny.py (by Tim Peters), which checks for inconsistent mixing of tabs and spaces. unicode Tools used to generate unicode database files for Python 2.0 (by Fredrik Lundh). versioncheck A tool to automate checking whether you have the latest version of a package (by Jack Jansen). webchecker A link checker for web sites. world Script to take a list of Internet addresses and print out where in the world those addresses originate from, based on the top-level domain country code found in the address.
