Licensing still matters.

# Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over HTTP.
svn checkout http://editra-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ editra-plugins-read-only

The plugin name is ipyshell, in it’s directory you’ve got the whole ipython source + the plugin source.

It need a little refresh for sure .

If you want to try to hack it take a look @Ipython/gui/wx the whole code is in ipython_view and ipshellnonblocking.

ipython_view -> gui interface
ipshellnonblocking -> the interface with ipython

You can add:
ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
def myEdit(self, arg):
print ‘do what you want’
ip.expose_magic(‘edit’, myEdit)

to WxNonBlockingIPShell inside ipython_view.py

Please note that if ipython is ever installed on your system you’ll have to make a eggsetup.py develop to make sure to use your new local copy.

We can discuss about all of this in ipython-dev mailing list

What will make it ideal, is better integration with Editra’s Editor:
Make ipython’s %edit Open the edit-buffer in Editra’s current Windows, and Enable poeple to run The code they edit in Editra inside the open IPython windows…
Any hint where should I try to hack in order to achieve those?

Thanks,
Ronen.

Currently, one could argue that Tkinter is the official standard toolkit (it’s in stdlib) and that WxPython is the de facto standard toolkit.

Having a standard toolkit isn’t about “one toolkit to rule them all”, it’s about agreeing on something that, like Python’s standard library, will meet all your needs most of the time.

I think the short answer is ‘No’.

Each toolkit has its pros and cons.

eg, qt, and pyqt are a fairly large dependency, and are written in C++. This makes them unsuitable for some uses.

Say you want directx hardware acceleration? qt won’t help.

You may want access to different input devices that qt doesn’t support?

There are many other examples why there will never be a standard toolkit – because each one can do things the others can’t.

cheers,

I guess the PyQt people didn’t think there was a need to license it otherwise since Qt itself was GPL with an exception, so they should be willing to change.
