Editor improvements

Rene Aguirre — Fri, 04 Jun 2004 21:22:40 -0000

As a debugger I think HAP it's just amazing!.
But the editor seems to need some polishing, Scintilla it's
just great. Just consider this features:
* Allow Split Windows for text editing.
* CTAGS support for better code navigation.
* Capture the output (stdout, stderr) of programs, like
in SciTE, allow to 'jump directly' to reported error.
* Code completition.
* Better Python help file integration (at F1 jump to
keyword in helpfile).
* Allow to add other help files (imagine wxPython help
file integration).
* Easier tools configuration interface. Now it's very hard
to setup any tool.

doc/manual ?

I don't understand how the module panel work, and
I haven't found any Readme file - a minimal
documenting support will be appreciated.

Can't run or build V3.0 on win98

Rick King — Mon, 06 Jan 2003 17:47:37 -0000

Win98, Python 2.2.1
1) The binaries require something in NTDLL.DLL (via
PSAPI.DLL) called something like "NtAlloc........". My
NTDLL.DLL is from '98 but replacing it with a more
recent one downloaded from dlls.com(?) didn't make any
change.
2) I downloaded the source and tried to build using
VC++ v6.0 with no luck.Do I need to update my VC++? It
can't find "htmlhelp.h", and a couple of definitions are
missing: LVS_EX_LABELTIP and BIF_USENEWUI and
maybe a few more.

Help!

sys.stdout has no flush method

Maciej Starzyk — Tue, 26 Nov 2002 22:51:45 -0000

Flush method is undefined in HeStdOut.

This happens in an auto-generated code from
cherrypy.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "H:\tmp\cherrypy-0.7\test\alaServer.py",
line 432, in ?

sys.stdout.flush()

AttributeError: HeStdOut instance has no
attribute 'flush'

The Python docs say:

"flush() - Flush the internal buffer, like stdio's
fflush(). This may be a no-op on some file-like
objects"

However they also say:

"stdout and stderr needn't be built-in file
objects: any object is acceptable as long as it
has a write() method that takes a string
argument."

Installation of TK extensions?

Bruce Dickey — Wed, 02 Oct 2002 20:23:20 -0000

The tixwidgets.py program works fine in Python from a
console window after Tix is installed properly. However,
it does not run under HAP. Looks like HAP can't find
some of the Tix files, but I'm not sure. I'm sure how to
set this up so it works. Can you help? Thanks.
