At Guido's request, I've carried out the same update to the IDLE
distributed with Python 2.7 that I submitted for Python 3, to incorporate the work of Guilherme Polo in the Google Summer of Code 2009. Guido was concerned that with significant problems reported for IDLE 2.7, there should be an update despite Python 2.7 itself being essentially frozen. The basic structure for IDLE 3.2 was carried over. The main changes that had to be made were the change in module names between Python 2.7 and Python 3.2 (e.g. Tkinter in 2.7 is tkinter in 3.2).

But this patch is a diff between a 2.7 and a 3.2 version of IDLE, isn't it? The tkinter->Tkinter renaming is not supposed to happen in the 2.7 branch.
Could you instead show a diff between the present version of IDLE in 2.7 and the result of your work, so we can better see the impact of the change?

I believe the enhancements here are the same as submitted for py3k in Issue10079. Since it is likely the same comments will apply to both variants, I think it would be better to have just one issue, so I would recommend regenerating the patch against the current 2.7 svn top of trunk (or the 2.7 release), attaching the patch to #10079, and closing this as a duplicate.

Bruce, what Ned suggests is what I intended with my IDLE-list message, and in accord with usual tracker practice. Issues often apply to multiple versions and thereby require multiple patches and commits. I know you are relatively new at this and very much appreciate you pushing this IDLE update.

Perhaps I've used misleadingt terminology. What I meant is that I did
do a diff between IDLE 2.7 and the result of Guilherme Polo's work,
but the latter code started from Python 3 code and was modified as
needed for 2.7 (e.g. renaming tkinter as Tkinter, etc.) before
generating the patch.

I've rebuilt and resubmitted this patch to Issue10079 as requested by Ned Deily. This issue (10137) can now be labeled a duplicate.
