Make ipm help messages cross-platform #18

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
From Tyler Wilson:

There are a number of places that refer to Ctrl+D as an EOF shortcut
- in ipm.py, in particular. On Windows, note that the EOF shortcut is
Ctrl+Z. Likely want to check the platform in ipm.py and print the
right one. For example, in my local ipm.py, I added this below the
last import:

if sys.platform == "win32":
   EOF_KEY = "Ctrl+Z"
else:
   EOF_KEY = "Ctrl+D"

And then changed:

   self.stdout.write("Connection write error, type Ctrl+D to quit.
\n")

to:

   self.stdout.write("Connection write error, type " + EOF_KEY + " to
quit.\n")

Changed error message to print platform-specific EOF key.

Does not affect system tests.  Checked that 
"sys.platform.lower().startswith("win")" 
returns true on Cygwin.

Mainlined directly, see r344

Sorry, I know this is marked fixed, but I just wanted to add a clarification to
Comment #1 above:

The statement "Checked that "sys.platform.lower().startswith("win")" 
returns true on Cygwin." is slightly misleading. If this code returns True, 
then you
are actually using the Windows Python, NOT the Python that is built and 
installed via
the cygwin setup program. On a cygwin-built Python, sys.platform == 'cygwin', 
not
anything that starts with 'win'.

Thank you.
