        bpo-38792: IDLE calltips may not properly close on KeyboardInterrupt

Calltips should be removed if a KeyboardInterrupt occurs.

Hi Zack, thanks for this!

This doesn't go far enough, actually; we should make sure to close the calltip in other cases too, such as restarting the shell or hitting return to running a statement / block. It is a bit hairy to see where the best place to add this is.

Let me know if you're interested in doing more work on this and testing various edge cases.

I tested interrupts and restarts before, during, and after calltips. Before and after had no new problems and during now works properly. I also tested some in editor. Zack, thanks for report and initial fix. I plan to merge tomorrow.

@taleinat If you find a way to execute with Enter and have calltip persist, we can try to fix in another PR, making sure to not regress in editor.

Even with this fix, it is still easy and common to get a calltip staying open in other ways. For example, hitting Enter in the shell with a calltip open and a syntax error, as in the following image:

Removing any open call-tips in PyShell.resetoutput() could be a more comprehensive solution to these issues. I'm testing it locally now.

This looks to be working very nicely. I've pushed this change into this PR, I hope you like it!

terryjreedy · 2020-01-31T01:54:29Z

I got the same with int(',. This should be seen as hitting return to continue on a new line, not to run. But the syntax error causes a new prompt. It is plausible that the calltip should disappear, though if one follows with Alt-P <>, then one might want it.

I like handling this in one place. Among other reasons, Zack originally used refresh calltip event rather than remove calltip window. I switched because I don't believe the extra code in the former is needed. (refresh_calltip_event is only triggered by and not by other actions that close a calltip.) But if I am wrong, the fix would only be needed one place.
