Suddha: Someone has to write a currently failing test and a patch that makes it pass without breaking anything else. I cannot currently test this issue and therefore cannot currently patch it. AutoComplete has numerous other issues that I can test. About a month ago, I reviewed the code with an eye to fixing them. I decided what I implied above, which is that I should not do anything until I can freely modify the code. I just filed #26993 to make that possible.
Paul: For testing CPython in general, see https://docs.python.org/devguide/, chapter 4 and 5 (and the unittest docs). For testing IDLE, see test/test_idle and idlelib/idle_test, in particular README and htest.py. The latter is specific to IDLE. If #26993 is approved, we will need LOTS of new tests for IDLE, as I want to properly follow the *written* failing test, write patch, passing test paradigm. |
