Some code,
>>> from tkinter import Text
>>> text = Text()
>>> text.pack()
>>> text.insert('insert', 'ab cd ef')
>>> text.tag_add('red', '1.0','1.2')
>>> text.tag_add('red', '1.6', '1.8')
>>> text.tag_prevrange('red', 'end')
('1.6', '1.8')
>>> text.tag_ranges('red')
(<textindex object: '1.0'>, <textindex object: '1.2'>, <textindex object:
'1.6'>, <textindex object: '1.8'>)
>>> text.tag_nextrange('red', '1.0')
('1.0', '1.2')
I propose that Text.tag_ranges(tag) return a list of tuples (start index,
end index), instead of a list like [start index1, endindex1, startindex2,
endindex2....etc]
To be more even more consistent, tag_ranges tuples should contain indexes
similar to the ones returned by tag_prevrange/tag_nextrange i.e. strings
instead of textindex objects.
So, the above output would have been
>>> text.tag_ranges('red')
(('1.0', '1.2'), ('1.6', '1.8'))
If there is a reason for current behavior, can you link me to it?
