codeeditor

codeEditor(1)						       PythonCard Developers						     codeEditor(1)

NAME

       codeEditor - A Python-aware code editor written using the PythonCard GUI framework

SYNOPSIS

       codeEditor [file] [switches]

DESCRIPTION

       The  codeEditor	program  is  one  of  the tools included with the PythonCard GUI framework.  It is focused on being a simple to use Python
       source code editor.  It is not intended to be a generic editor or replace vi(m), Emacs, etc. If you are already happy  with  your  existing
       editing environment for Python source code, there is no particular reason you have to switch.

       codeEditor  borrows  ideas  and	code  from  IDLE  as  well  as	Mark  Hammond's Pythonwin, PyCrust (the PythonCard shell) and Robin Dunn's
       pyshell.py. The core editor component uses the wxPython wxStyledTextCtrl (wxSTC) which in turn uses Neil Hodgson's  Scintilla.  Isn't  open
       source fun? In 15 minutes you can have a pretty decent editor by standing on the shoulders of others.

SWITCHES

       Note that switches must come after any filename in order to be recognized.

       -p     Show property editor

       -m     Show message watcher

       -l     Enable logging

       -s     Show shell

       -m     Show namespace

       -d     Show debug menu

NOTES

       The  codeEditor	utility  also provides additional functionality that is not discussed in this manpage, because it is somewhat difficult to
       completely describe usage of a GUI program in a text-based manpage.  For more detailed usage instructions or for more  information  on  the
       PythonCard  GUI framework in general, you should install the pythoncard-doc package and take a look at the various walk-throughs, tutorials
       and samples included with it.

       Once the pythoncard-doc package is installed, the documentation is installed to /usr/share/doc/pythoncard-doc, and is  also  available  via
       Debian's doc-base infrastructure - find it in the Devel section using dwww(1), doc-central(1) or dhelp(1).

       If you would rather not install the pythoncard-doc package, you can find essentially the same information on the PythonCard website:

       http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net

BUGS

       Although it is considered to be stable, this is still development-level software.  If you use codeEditor as a real text editor then you may
       want to work on backup copies of documents in case there are bugs that might corrupt your text.

       Please report bugs in this or any PythonCard component to the Debian Bug Tracking system using reportbug(1).
