79 | <p>This document will show you how to use the Py programs and the Py | |
80 | library of Python source code modules. Py is the new name for the | |
81 | project that began as PyCrust. Py is officially part of <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxpython.org/">wxPython</a>, | |
82 | and includes PyCrust, so PyCrust is no longer distributed separately.</p> | |

91 | <p>Besides being <a class="reference" href="http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie">a delicious dessert</a>, Py is the name for a collection | |
92 | of whimsically-named Python programs and modules that began as the | |
93 | PyCrust project. So Py is really several things: a set of standalone | |
94 | programs, including the original PyCrust program, a library of Python | |
40efbdda | 95 | source code modules that can be used in your own programs, and as many |
8eda5e35 RD |
96 | examples of bad "pie" puns as I can come up with. (If you're going to |
97 | do something, you might as well do it all the way, right?) Py uses | |
98 | Python and wxPython, so it works equally well on Windows, Linux and | |
99 | Mac OS X.</p> | |
100 | </div> | |
101 | <div class="section" id="pycrust-is-dead-long-live-py"> | |
102 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6" name="pycrust-is-dead-long-live-py">PyCrust is dead! Long live Py!</a></h1> | |
103 | <p>This project began with a program I created called PyCrust - an | |
104 | interactive, graphical Python shell, developed using the wxPython GUI | |
105 | toolkit. For about two years, PyCrust was hosted on <a class="reference" href="http://www.sf.net/projects/pycrust/">SourceForge</a>. | |
106 | Shortly after I created PyCrust, the wxPython folks started including | |
107 | it in their distribution. As the PyCrust project grew, it reached a | |
108 | point where I thought the original PyCrust name was too confining. I | |
109 | was using the PyCrust code base to develop programs that weren't just | |
110 | Python shells any more.</p> | |
111 | <p>Around that same time, the wxPython folks asked me if I'd be willing | |
90805926 RD |
112 | to move all my wxPython-related projects into the <a class="reference" href="http://cvs.wxWidgets.org">wxPython CVS |
113 | repository</a>, and become part of the <a class="reference" href="http://www.wxpython.org/">wxPython</a>/<a class="reference" href="http://www.wxWidgets.org/">wxWidgets</a> developer team. | |
8eda5e35 RD |
114 | I decided the time was right to restructure the PyCrust project. |
115 | During the move, the PyCrust package was renamed to "py" (lowercase | |
116 | "p") and the collection of programs and modules as a whole became | |
117 | known as "Py" (with a capital "P").</p> | |
118 | <p>The original goal of PyCrust was to be the best interactive, graphical | |
119 | Python shell (of course, I claimed it was the "flakiest" Python | |
120 | shell). And that was all I wanted it to be. But little by little I | |
121 | found myself developing a wider variety of tools for wxPython | |
122 | applications. Eventually I'll create a debugger (PySlice, perhaps) | |
123 | and whatever else is needed to one day become a complete wxPython | |
124 | application development environment (PyFactory?). In the mean time, | |
125 | PyCrust is still the flakiest Python shell, and the other Py programs | |
126 | are equally tasty.</p> | |
127 | <p>At this point, Py has standalone programs that include Python code | |
128 | editors (PyAlaCarte and PyAlaMode), interactive Python shells (PyCrust | |
129 | and PyShell), and a runtime wrapper (PyWrap). The runtime wrapper | |
130 | utility provides you with runtime introspection capabilities for your | |
131 | wxPython programs without having to include PyCrust or PyShell in your | |
132 | program, and without having to alter one line of your source code.</p> | |
133 | <p>Py also contains a collection of modules that you can use in your own | |
134 | wxPython applications to provide similar services, either for your own | |
135 | use during development, or as an interface for users of your programs. | |
40efbdda | 136 | These modules are the same ones used by all the Py programs.</p> |

140 | <p>These are the standalone applications in the Py collection:</p> | |

150 | <div class="section" id="pyalacarte"> | |
151 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8" name="pyalacarte">PyAlaCarte</a></h1> | |
152 | <p>PyAlaCarte is a Python source code editor. It is designed to have a | |
153 | simple, single-file interface. As a standalone application, it is | |
154 | good for simple, short editing tasks. But it is really meant to be | |
155 | more of an example of how to embed the Py editor into a wxPython | |
156 | application.</p> | |
157 | </div> | |
158 | <div class="section" id="pyalamode"> | |
159 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id9" name="pyalamode">PyAlaMode</a></h1> | |
160 | <p>PyAlaMode is a Python source code editor.</p> | |

162 | <div class="section" id="pycrust"> | |
163 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id10" name="pycrust">PyCrust</a></h1> | |
164 | <p>PyCrust is an interactive, Python shell. But it's more than just a | |
165 | shell. It includes a tabbed notebook containing a namespace tree | |
166 | (PyFilling), and several other things.</p> | |
167 | </div> | |
168 | <div class="section" id="pyfilling"> | |
169 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id11" name="pyfilling">PyFilling</a></h1> | |
170 | <p>PyFilling is a namespace viewer. It isn't really useful as a | |
171 | standalone program, but it does illustrate how to make use of the | |
c66cd08a | 172 | underlying <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filling</span></tt> module.</p> |

176 | <p>PyShell is an interactive, Python shell. It shares the same base code | |
177 | as PyCrust, but doesn't have any of the extra features that appear in | |
178 | the PyCrust notebook interface.</p> | |

185 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id13" name="pywrap">PyWrap</a></h1> | |
186 | <p>PyWrap is a runtime utility that lets you run an existing wxPython | |
187 | program with a PyCrust frame at the same time. Inside the PyCrust | |
c66cd08a | 188 | shell namespace, the local variable <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">app</span></tt> is assigned to your |
8eda5e35 RD |
189 | application instance. In this way you can introspect your entire |
190 | application within the PyCrust shell, as well as the PyFilling | |
40efbdda | 191 | namespace viewer.</p> |

193 | <div class="section" id="py-modules"> | |
194 | <h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id14" name="py-modules">Py modules</a></h1> | |
195 | <p>Py was designed to be modular. That means graphical code is kept | |
196 | separate from non-graphical code, and many of the Py modules can be | |
197 | used by other programs. Likewise, other programs can supply some of | |
198 | the modules needed by Py. For example, you could supply a customized | |
199 | interpreter module and plug it in to the PyCrust standalone | |
200 | application. As long as it supports the minimum functionality | |
201 | required, PyCrust will work just as well with your interpreter as with | |
202 | its default interpreter.</p> | |

c66cd08a | 352 | <p>Changed locals to use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">__main__.__dict__</span></tt> and added code to clean up |
8eda5e35 RD |
353 | the namespace, making it as close to the regular Python environment as |
354 | possible. This solves the problem of pickling and unpickling | |
355 | instances of classes defined in the shell.</p> | |
c66cd08a | 356 | <p>Made <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shell.PasteAndRun()</span></tt> a little more forgiving when it finds a |
8eda5e35 RD |
357 | ps2 prompt line with no trailing space, such when you copy code from a |

359 | <p>Improved autocomplete behavior by adding these to shell:</p> | |
360 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
361 | self.AutoCompSetAutoHide(False) | |
362 | self.AutoCompStops(' .,;:([)]}\'"\\<>%^&+-=*/|`') | |

365 | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">stcConstants.py</span></tt>. These all serve the purpose of adding docstrings | |
366 | to existing wxPython classes, in particular the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">wxStyledTextCtrl</span></tt>.</p> | |
367 | <p>Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">wrap.py</span></tt>, a command line utility for running a wxPython app | |
8eda5e35 RD |
368 | with additional runtime-tools loaded, such as PyCrust (the only tool |
369 | at this point).</p> | |
370 | <p>Flushed the clipboard Cut/Copy operations so that selections will | |
371 | exist in the clipboard even after PyCrust has been closed.</p> | |
372 | <p>Improved the suppression of docstrings for simple data types appearing | |
373 | in the namespace viewer.</p> | |
374 | <p>Better handling of autocompletion with numeric types; no | |
375 | autocompletion when typing a dot after an integer. If the | |
376 | autocompletion is desired, type a space before the dot:</p> | |
377 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |

385 | Enter as well as Tab to select an item from the list.</p> | |
386 | <p>Disabled autocomplete for lists of 2000 items or more. The current | |

390 | coming directly from the source code. (Hmmm. Sounds like someone is | |
391 | doing some decorating. I wonder where that would be helpful? <wink>)</p> | |
c66cd08a | 392 | <p>Fixed handling of icon. Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">images.py</span></tt> file.</p> |

443 | <p>Made the key handling more robust when there is an active text | |
444 | selection that includes text prior to the last primary prompt. Thanks | |
445 | to Raul Cota for pointing this out.</p> | |

8eda5e35 RD |
520 | with call tips for Zope/ZODB extension class methods.</p> |
521 | <p>In preparation for wxPython 2.3.2, added code to fix a font sizing | |
522 | problem. Versions of wxPython prior to 2.3.2 had a sizing bug on Win | |
523 | platform where the font was 2 points larger than what was specified.</p> | |
c66cd08a | 524 | <p>Added a hack to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getAllAttributeNames()</span></tt> to "wake up" |
8eda5e35 RD |
525 | ZODB objects that are asleep - in a "ghost" state. Otherwise it |
526 | returns incomplete info.</p> | |

c66cd08a RD |
530 | <p>Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyFilling.py</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">filling.py</span></tt>.</p> |
531 | <p><tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyShell.py</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyFilling.py</span></tt> can now be run standalone, as well | |
532 | as <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrust.py</span></tt>.</p> | |
533 | <p>Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">crust.py</span></tt> and moved some code from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrust.py</span></tt> to it.</p> | |
8eda5e35 | 534 | <p>Added command history retrieval features submitted by Richie Hindle.</p> |
c66cd08a RD |
535 | <p>Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shell.write()</span></tt> to replace line endings with OS-specific |
536 | endings. Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shell.py</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">interpreter.py</span></tt> to use | |
537 | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">os.linesep</span></tt> in strings having hardcoded line endings.</p> | |
538 | <p>Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shell.redirectStdin()</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shell.redirectStdout()</span></tt> and | |
539 | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">shell.redirectStderr()</span></tt> to allow the surrounding app to toggle | |
540 | requests that the specified <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">sys.std*</span></tt> be redirected to the shell. | |
8eda5e35 RD |
541 | These can also be run from within the shell itself, of course.</p> |
542 | <p>The shell now adds the current working directory "." to the search | |
543 | path:</p> | |
544 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
545 | sys.path.insert(0, os.curdir) | |
546 | </pre> | |
547 | <p>Added support for distutils installations.</p> | |

551 | <p>Changed default font size under Linux to:</p> |
552 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
553 | 'size' : 12, | |
554 | 'lnsize' : 10, | |
555 | </pre> | |
c66cd08a | 556 | <p>Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Shell</span></tt> to expect a parameter referencing an Interpreter |
8eda5e35 RD |
557 | class, rather than an intepreter instance, to facilitate subclassing |
558 | of Interpreter, which effectively broke when the Editor class was | |
559 | eliminated.</p> | |
c66cd08a | 560 | <p>Fixed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrustAlaCarte.py</span></tt>, which had been broken by previous |
8eda5e35 | 561 | changes.</p> |
c66cd08a | 562 | <p>Created <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">InterpreterAlaCarte</span></tt> class as an example for use in the |
8eda5e35 | 563 | demo.</p> |
c66cd08a RD |
564 | <p>Split <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrust.py</span></tt> into <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrust.py</span></tt> and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyShell.py</span></tt> in |

c66cd08a | 569 | <p>Added patch to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrust.py</span></tt> to fix wxPython bug:</p> |

8eda5e35 | 576 | <p>Shortened module names by dropping "PyCrust" as a prefix.</p> |
c66cd08a | 577 | <p>Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">version</span></tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">VERSION</span></tt> in <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">version</span></tt> module.</p> |
8eda5e35 RD |
578 | <p>Added Options menu to PyCrust application.</p> |
579 | <p>Eliminated the Editor class (and editor module) by merging with Shell. | |
580 | This means that Shell "is a" wxStyledTextCtrl rather than "has a". | |
581 | There just wasn't enough non-gui code to justify the separation. | |
582 | Plus, Shell will be much easier for gui toolkits/designers to deal | |
583 | with now.</p> | |

c66cd08a RD |
587 | <p>Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">introspect</span></tt> module.</p> |
588 | <p>Moved some functionality from <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">PyCrustInterp</span></tt> to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">introspect</span></tt>.</p> | |
589 | <p>Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getRoot()</span></tt> to no longer remove whitespace from | |
8eda5e35 RD |
590 | the command. This was a remnant of a previous approach that, when |
591 | left as part of the current approach, turned out to be a really bad | |
592 | thing.</p> | |
c66cd08a RD |
593 | <p>Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getRoot()</span></tt> to allow commands of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">''</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">""</span></tt>, |
594 | <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">""""""</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[]</span></tt>, <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">()</span></tt>, and <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">{}</span></tt> to pass through. This allows | |
8eda5e35 RD |
595 | you to type them, followed by a dot, and get autocomplete options on |
596 | them.</p> | |
c66cd08a | 597 | <p>Changed <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">introspect.getRoot()</span></tt> to identify some situations where |
8eda5e35 RD |
598 | strings shouldn't be considered roots. For example:</p> |
599 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
600 | >>> import PyCrust # To illustrate the potential problem. | |
601 | >>> len('PyCrust.py') | |
602 | </pre> | |
603 | <p>Typing the dot at the end of "PyCrust" in the second line above should | |
604 | NOT result in an autocompletion list because "PyCrust" is part of a | |
605 | string in this context, not a reference to the PyCrust module object. | |
606 | Similar reasoning applies to call tips. For example:</p> | |
607 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
608 | >>> len('dir(') | |
609 | </pre> | |
610 | <p>Typing the left paren at the end of "dir" should NOT result in a call | |
611 | tip.</p> | |
612 | <p>Both features now behave properly in the examples given. However, | |
613 | there is still the case where whitespace precedes the potential root | |
614 | and that is NOT handled properly. For example:</p> | |
615 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
616 | >>> len('this is a dir(') | |
617 | </pre> | |
618 | <p>and:</p> | |
619 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
620 | >>> len('This is PyCrust.py') | |
621 | </pre> | |
622 | <p>More code needs to be written to handle more complex situations.</p> | |
c66cd08a | 623 | <p>Added <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">locals=None</span></tt> parameter to <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">Shell.__init__()</span></tt>.</p> |
8eda5e35 RD |
624 | <p>Added support for magic attribute retrieval. Users can change this |
625 | with:</p> | |
626 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
627 | >>> shell.editor.autoCompleteIncludeMagic = 0 | |
628 | </pre> | |
629 | <p>Added the ability to set filters on auto completion to exclude | |
630 | attributes prefixed with a single or double underscore. Users can | |
631 | exclude one or the other or both with:</p> | |
632 | <pre class="literal-block"> | |
633 | >>> shell.editor.autoCompleteExcludeSingle = 1 | |
634 | >>> shell.editor.autoCompleteExcludeDouble = 1 | |

676 | <p>Blame it all on IDLE, Boa and PythonWin. I was using all three, got |
677 | frustrated with their dissimilarities, and began to let everyone know | |
678 | how I felt. At the same time, Scintilla looked like an interesting | |
679 | tool to build a shell around. And while I didn't receive much in the | |
680 | way of positive feedback, let alone encouragement, I just couldn't let | |
681 | go of the idea of a Scintilla-based Python shell. Then the PythonCard | |
682 | project got to the point where they were talking about including a | |
683 | shell in their development environment. That was all the incentive I | |
684 | needed. PyCrust had to happen...</p> | |
