Hello,
I am pleased to announce the release of pythondialog 3.3.0. You can read
a summary of the changes in this version at:
http://pythondialog.sourceforge.net/news.html#3.3
For your convenience, here is a text dump of this summary:
Main changes in version 3.3.0
* The Python 2 backport has been updated to this version; it is now
up-to-date.
* Allow passing dialog arguments via a temporary file
In order to prevent information leak through the process table
(which normally shows all commands executed by any user, along with
their arguments), pythondialog can now write dialog arguments to a
temporary file and call dialog with the --file option to point him
to this temporary file, where it will read the “real” arguments
(such as --msgbox, box titles, messages to display in boxes, etc.).
This new behavior is enabled by default starting from pythondialog
3.3.0 if the dialog version is 1.2-20150513 or later. The Dialog
class constructor accepts a new keyword-only argument,
pass_args_via_file, that allows one to explicitly choose whether to
use the feature or not.
Dialog.setup_debug() offers a new expand_file_opt parameter to
allow producing debug log files with full dialog commands as
before, instead of dialog calls containing only one --file option
followed by a path to a temporary file.
Similarly, examples/demo.py accepts a new option (-E,
--debug-expand-file-opt) to allow obtaining the same dialog
commands as before in the file generated by --debug (i.e., with the
--file options expanded instead of referring to the temporary
files).
* Bug fix in Dialog._dialog_version_check() (which is typically used
to check whether a given widget is available in the selected dialog
version): the message passed when raising InadequateBackendVersion
had a hardcoded “the programbox widget” substring where it should
have been using the feature parameter.
