file - How to save custom preferences of python's IDLE? -
i have several computers @ different locations, , although i'm not coding in idle, running in background, small testing, debugging , researching tasks. configured idle custom highlighting, key set, etc. @ home, , pretty comfy save settings external file, , install these settings onto machines i'm working on.
so question: there way that?
or nice, if knows idle stores these datas — can copy file(s) there..
thanks in advance!
idle saves preferences in several files in $home/.idlerc
directory, creating files (for example, config-main.cfg
) needed. important ones, @ least, simple text files should able copy files home directory on 1 machine another. there few potential gotcha's watch out for:
when copy files home directory, make sure no idle instances running.
be aware versions of idle (with python 2.7, 3.2, 3.3, etc) share same
.idlerc
directory , files. i'm not aware of major conflicts @ point other possibly recent files file names non-ascii characters require unicode representation: cause problems sharing between idle 2.x , 3.x.another issue might line endings if attempt share files between windows , non-windows systems.
