Re: [Pydev-users] PYDEV for an IDLE user

[<mic...@co...>]

Fabio,

I think the following steps (as a protoype of an Eclipse macro) might explain the use and functionality that  I desire

(1)  check to see if Python external shell is open, if not open one
(2)  save code in editor window
(3)  run the code (file)  -- execfile(%file)
(4)  move window attention to python shell

In an IDLE file editor window, F5 basically runs these steps

I am sure some things that I am used to doing with an IDLE-Python Shell combo can be done directly in Eclipse+Pydev, but here is an example of what I might do, after running some code script (where in 
this example I was modifying an existing pyhton UNIX shell script to run as a callable function, so interactive session experimentation and exploration helps)

** look at variables in memory
>>> dir()
['CACHE', 'DAYSECS', 'DEBUG', 'MONTH2NUM', 'Y2KCUTOFF', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__name__', '__version__', 'aggDates', 'allDates', 'anydbm', 'dd', 'dd_mmm_yy2yyyymmdd', 'dx', 'getCachedTicker', 'getRate', 'getTicker', 'getTickers', 'getTickersNow', 'getTickersNowChunk', 'getopt', 'isInt', 'main', 'os', 'parseDate', 'pyQ', 're', 'showUsage', 'showVersion', 'splitLines', 'string', 'sys', 'time', 'traceback', 'urllib', 'usageError', 'yy2yyyy']

** print out one
>>> print dx
01JAN2006

** try out a function in interactive mode
>>> d1='20080219'
>>> d2='20080318'
>>> pyQ('IBM',d1,d2)
[['ibm', '20080319', 'N/A', 'N/A', 'N/A', '118.41', '3100']]
