In neither the IDLE section of the Library Reference nor in IDLE's own help file is there any documentation on how to use its breakpoint capability. Since the menu options only appear if the user knows to Right-click (or Control-click on OS X - see issue10404), it would be easy for a user to never realize that the breakpoint capability exists. |

Can you propose a patch, as a diff or even plain English in a reply? |

I'd rather see the wording come from more experienced users of IDLE and on other platforms. |

I've added a short note regarding breakpoints in Doc/library/idle.rst Ned, I'm not an experienced user with IDLE by any means, but I think some documentation is better than none, no? |

Nick, I agree some documentation is better than none. But somebody could do better I am not sure how to debug in IDLE. I have taken your file and created a 2.7 patch. |

This patch works for both Python 3.4 and Python 2.7, it is a very simple patch. |

Thanks for your suggestions, Nick and Todd. While reviewing them, I realized that there is also a small context (right-click) menu for the IDLE shell window as well. I expanded the doc changes to include it and included several other minor doc updates. I also updated the builtin IDLE Help file. By the way, if you haven't already and wish to contribute patches, please be sure to sign a PSF contributor agreement (http://www.python.org/psf/contrib/). |
