[Pythoncard-users] Cut-n-paste to shell issue

[Peter C. N. <spa...@le...>]

I've tried to copy and paste code from the editor window to the shell,
but it seems that once multiple lines are pasted that the shell
doesn't evaluate the code.  Its in the command line history as a block
that I can return to using <ctrl>-<up-arrow>, but when I hit enter its
not evaluated again.

Is this something fixed?  This is in the debian pythoncard
distribution.

An example of this is the following snippet:

>>> time = "now"
... second_part = "is the time"
... if time == "now":
...     print second_part
>>> 
>>> time = "now"
... second_part = "is the time"
... if time == "now":
...     print second_part
>>> 
[ Starting herer is where I did a line-by-line cut-n-paste]
>>> time = "now"
>>> second_part = "is the time"
>>> if time == "now":
...     print second_part
...     
is the time
>>>

Hi Peter, 

AFAIK this is an issue with all Python shells, from IDLE through to PythonWin.


Although, you can paste line by line IIRC.

Ctrl+Shift+V is what you're looking for to run multiple lines from a 
paste.

Hmm... this almost works.  However it now messes up the indentation on
the way into the python shell.

I.e.:

var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    print "test"
else:
    print "not boogie"

becomes:

var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    pass
    else:
    print "not boogie"
  File "<input>", line 3
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
var = "boogie"
if "bookie" == var:
    print "test"
    else:
    print "not boogie"
  File "<input>", line 3
    else:
       ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Copy-n-paste from the shell is eliminating the ">>>" and "..." from
the output, but you know where they are.

Does anyone know if the shell can be made to not try to autoindent on
paste?

This should work, but it is broken for me too, so this is a bug and I'm 
not sure if it is Pycrust or my minor subclass. I'll check and report 
back after I look at Windows and Mac.

If you do a normal copy (ctrl+c) you don't get the >>> and ... preface 
chars, but ctrl+shift+c will get them. Paste strips the preface 
characters.

I just checked this under macosx jaguar with the same results.

Good to know, thanks.
