Provide workaround to reproduce SyntaxErrors with Idle #22

Closed aroberge closed 2 years ago

aroberge commented 2 years ago

[x] Define a function to retrieve <pyshell#dd> content from argument dd, and add it to Friendly object for IDLE
[x] Add check_syntax to Friendly object with a simple dd argument.
[x] Add run argument for dealing similarly with runtime errors that occurred prior to running IDLE
[x] See if it makes sense to install automatically friendly when importing friendly.idle.

Alternatively, do more work behind the scene:

try to retrieve files starting at 0 and increasing until a file cannot be found; store that number which will be used for later search.
Then proceed in reverse order, and try to compile() the file to see if there is a SyntaxError.

TODO:

add get_syntax_error to helpers so that it is available in the console.
Review how it works in the console (for older Python version) as we have some left-over lines.

This works, but is slightly buggy. However, using friendly_idle is really the way to go as it is much more user-friendly. So, closing this as being not worth spending additional time on it.
