"Run" function now multithreaded
by Serge Hulne - Jul 18th 2007 01:46:54
The "Run" function can now be used to run the current module
regardless of how much time said module takes to execute (even if it is a
connectio, a socket or a graphical interface) , since the improved "Run"
feature is launched in a separate thread.
The Graphical Builder is also muthithreaded now.

New in version 1.2c2
by Serge Hulne - Jul 8th 2007 13:20:25
Notes for xRope-1.2c2:
The releases from the series 1.2c (1.2c1, 1.2c2 etc ...) will be dedicated
mainly to:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Make the code more robust.
2) Make the existing features more complete, ergonomic,
user-friendly.
Still, there is a new feature in version 1.2c2:
New feature in release 1.2c:
----------------------------
A "Run" function has been added (see corresponding
"Run" tab in the right hand pane).
The Run "button" in the Run "tab" runs the module
which is selected (from the left-hand
build-in file manager -by double-clicking on it's module icon-).
- The output from the program (the selected module) is displayed in the
same "Run" tab.
- The output from stdout and stderr are displayed in the same text box
with different colors.
- The errors lines giving rise to errors are highlighted in yellow in the
output screen.
This "Run" feature should not be run with programs which do not
return reasonably fast,
i.e. (FTP or HTTP connections, for instance) or programs which are long to
run or blocking.
Such programs are still betrer tested from the command-line in a console.

New in version 1.2c
by Serge Hulne - Jun 19th 2007 04:31:49
xRope is provided with two new add-ons:
Graphical UI builders, based on "tk_happy" and
"rapyd".
A customized version of these add-ons is shipped along with the code of
xRope, because the respective developers of these two applications have not
yet provided a simple, canonical way to install them.
---------
xRope 1.2c uses :
- rope-0.5m5
- tk_happy-0.3
and derivatives of:
- rapyd-0.1.1
- pmw-1.1.2
Which are shipped with it and installed (if not already present, in the
case of Pmw) by the command "python setup.py install" (as root).

Aim of the project
by Serge Hulne - Mar 12th 2007 13:46:13
xRope is a development environment for Python:
Concise description:
- xRope is a graphical wrapper around the editor "rope" by
aligrudi (also a sourceforge project).
- xRope is to rope what xEmacs is to Emacs (an additional graphical layer
to make its use easier for non-Emacs-experts).
Goal:
- Provide a decent Builder for Python developers, using reliable, portable
components.
Long-term aim:
- Emulate *all* the functionality of Eclipse PyDev in an application which
is 100% pure python (*avoid java completely*):
- The result should have all these functionalities, but be more portable
and have a much smaller footprint (thanks to Python and Tkinter).
- Replace in due time the aging IDLE interface, which is shipped with
Python, but has a very primitive interface, no dot-complete, no
refactoring, and an awkward class browser floating in a separate window.
More specifically:
Gui with: graphical class browser, graphical project management,
refactoring , dot complete, word complete.
Current features:
- Class browser (as a graphical tree)
- Projects browser & File manager (graphical)
Features under development:
- Classes auto-complete (dot-complete)
- Bindings with on-line help
- build-in grep
- Specific grep scanning only directories in the Python sys.path
- Specific grep scanning only directories in the current project
features inherited from rope:
- Refactoring
- Emacs keys bindings (also provided by rope)
Components:
- It uses Python with Tkinter,
- Pmw (Python mega widgets)
- The "Tree widget" (by G. E. Cash, see:
http://www.magicnet.net/~gcash).

Nitpicking
by Björn Lindström - Mar 6th 2007 05:14:04
The bit about Emacs and XEmacs is quite inaccurate. Those are both complete
(and very similar) editors.

Re: Nitpicking
by Serge Hulne - Mar 6th 2007 15:17:09
Well, it is just a concise metaphor to say: The one "with the X" puts more
emphasis on the IDE aspect. Rope is primarily intended as a lightweight
editor, whereas xRope aims at becoming a full-fledged Integrated
Development Environment. They are both emacs-ish, however.

Well, it's a bad metaphor, since you have misunderstood the difference
between Emacs and XEmacs completely.
