Feed Description: A weblog about Python from the view point of Jarno Virtanen.
I have had a particularly uninspiring period of life Python-wise and
since I don't actually program that much with Python, let alone
something dashy, nowadays, there is nothing much to say here. But I'll
try and get my act together and start writing here, something.
The little Python related fiddling I've done recently was to toy
around with Java, Jython and Swing as a desperate act to cook up an
enhanced GUI for Jython interactive interpreter. See, the interactive
interpreter is useful as such, yes, but to fire up an instance of a
class FidilyDidilyDoo in package
com.mycompany.thatproject.thisthingy is rather too painful to
type, because it takes too many keystrokes.
So the cure for this is to emulate Eclipse IDE and to provide an
auto-import based on code completion. And that's what I've been doing,
but the average time of few minutes per day devoted to the project
doesn't advance it quite as much as I would like.
The hundred dollar question, then, is whether this his been done
already. I think the answer is 'yes', but I'm too lazy and incompetent
to find that project. Pointers appreciated. (Pity I don't have a
comment system here.) Bonus points for an Eclipse Plugin, that gives
me the interactive interpreter in a Eclipse view and knows about my
project's Java classes. (That's something else I've been toying around
with, but that's not even remotely close to a point worth shouting
around.)
(Yes, for further directions, I think it would be wise to take a look
at pyrepl's and rlcompleter2's
guts, even though they are not that Java/Jython-friendly UI-wise.)
