[PythonReports-users] Suggestion for PythonReport.editor.editor

[Werner F. B. <wer...@fr...>]

Hi Alex,

I am using it with wxPython 2.8, at least for the next few days to get 
more familiar with it.

Following are things I notice

- "Code completion" on the "expr" field to help not making stupid typos, 
e.g. I need the field "drinkinfo.name" for one field
- if above is to much work/problem maybe use a different shell - e.g. 
PyCrust 0.9.8 - The Flakiest Python Shell which is part of the wx 
distribution, so one would get code completion on the following.

 >>> data
[Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), 
Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), 
Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), 
Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), Cellarbook(storagelocation=None), 
Cellarbook(storagelocation=None)]
 >>> data[0].drinkinfo.name
u'Goldwater Esslin'

- show the template file name in the title bar
- or maybe show the template file name in a tab and allow working on 
multiple template files - I know I am pushing it:-)
- a way to run/preview the report from within the designer
- Persist the layout of the editor window(s) - so on next startup one 
does have to e.g. enlarge the properties section (wx.lib.agw.persist 
might be useful for this)
- Have a Save-as and a Save option, the later should not always ask for 
the template name
- Tooltips for the properties, in a way that it does not disturb using 
the properties editor (maybe a wx.lib.supertooltip over the layout when 
working in the property editor)

Using the sakila template to get a better idea what needs to go where.

Do I need to do an install/setup of PythonReport if I like to use rev 
225?  Or can I just do a checkout?

Best regards
Werner
