[Boa Constr] CVS updated

[Riaan B. <riaan@e.co.za>]

Hello everybody,

I've updated the CVS repository.

Major changes:
* PyChecker support
* Better Zope support, merging of the ZOA branch
  * No more ftp
  * Editing Python Scripts, SQL Methods and local ExternalMethods
  * You have to import ZopeLib/ZOA.zexp into the root of your Zope tree
* WebDAV support in the explorer
* Preference editing support in the explorer
* Models are now transport independent. This means that Python 
  modules or any supported file type, can be opened/edited on all
  supported transports (File, SSH, FTP, DAV)
* Improved code completion, locals are now available
* Added simple Syntax Checking support to the editor.
  Invalid syntax is underlined with a red squily line and the error
  displayed in the status bar. It's not 100% accurate yet but it
  helps.
* Improved parsing, class/function/method declarations can now span
  multiple lines
* Modules are now run non-blocking so Boa is no longer frozen while
  a module runs.
* Works with wxPython 2.3.0
  * Still a problem running Boa within Boa with 2.3.0 HYBRID. It
    freezes on close down :(

Enjoy!

Feedback on whether still runs on 1.5.2 will be appreciated.

On that note, I'd like to find out how many 1.5.2 Boa users are
out there. 
I'd really like to start using some new language features!
Feel free to reply on the list or to me directly if you are
not vocal about it.

[Boa Constr] calltips and autocompletion

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

What is the process for expanding the calltips and autocompletion
capabilities of the boa editor and shell so that it is on par with IDLE and
PythonWin? (And if you want to respond by saying "feel free to modify the
source and make this work" I can only say that I fully intend to help out as
I get up to speed. In the mean time I'm just looking for some basic
background info and hoping that you've already finished this. <grin>

[Boa Constr] Windows SendTo

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I'd like to be able to add boa to my SendTo list under windows so I can
right click on a .py file, select SendTo, Boa and have Boa open the file up
in its editor window. I can add notepad, excel, PFE and so forth to my
SendTo list but I can't get it to work with Boa. Is this possible?

[Boa Constr] Shell enhancements

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

When I am in the shell, how do I reexecute a previous command? In other
shells you can go to a previous line and hit return and that line gets
copied down to the lowest prompt, then you can hit return again and it is
executed. I'm rather in the habit of doing this while experimenting with
things interactively. Is there a way to get the same behavior with boa? In
addition, IDLE has Alt-p and Alt-n to retrieve commands and Alt-/ to expand
words. PythonWin shares some of these same conventions. While it doesn't
have Alt-p or Alt-n it does allow you to hit return on previous lines and do
Alt-/ to expand words.

>From the IDLE help file:

Python Shell window:

	^C interrupts executing command
	^D sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at >>> prompt

    Command history:

	Alt-p retrieves previous command matching what you have typed
	Alt-n retrieves next
	Return while on any previous command retrieves that command
	Alt-/ (Expand word) is also useful here

[Boa Constr] Shell enhancements part 2

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

I dug a little more into PythonWin because they are also using Scintilla,
and I found that they use a configuration file with the excerpts I've pasted
below. Then I looked for something similar in boa and couldn't find
anything. I looked at PrefsKeys.py, PrefsMSW.py and ShellEditor.py but
didn't see anything that stood out as relevant. I think a keybinding
configuration file would be nice. PythonWin lets you have a configuration
file that is based on another and overrides it (kind of like inheritance).
That way you leave the default bindings file alone. I like that approach. An
example of that is included below as well. Is any of this doable?
Reasonable? Desireable (to anyone else)?
---
[Keys]
# Auto-complete, call-tips, etc.
Alt+/             = <<expand-word>>
Ctrl+Space   = <<expand-word>>
Shift+(           = <<paren-open>>
Shift-)           = <<paren-close>>
Up                = <<check-calltip-cancel>>
Down              = <<check-calltip-cancel>>
Left              = <<check-calltip-cancel>>

[Keys:Interactive]
# Key bindings specific to the interactive window.
# History for the interactive window
Ctrl+Up           = <<history-previous>>

Enter             = ProcessEnter
Ctrl+Enter        = ProcessEnter
Shift+Enter       = ProcessEnter
Esc               = ProcessEsc
Alt+I             = WindowBack # Toggle back to previous window.
Home              = InteractiveHome # A sample Event defined in this file.
Shift+Home        = InteractiveHomeExtend # A sample Event defined in this
file.

Sample custom configuration that provides keybindings like IDLE:

[General]
# We base this configuration on the default config.
# You can list "Based On" as many times as you like
Based On          = default

[Keys]
# Only list keys different to default.
# Note you may wish to rebind some of the default
# Pythonwin keys to "Beep" or "DoNothing"

Alt+L             = LocateSelectedFile
Ctrl+Q            = AppExit

# Other non-default Pythonwin keys
Alt+A             = EditSelectAll
Alt+M             = LocateModule

# Movement
Ctrl+D            = GotoEndOfFile

# Tabs and other indent features
Alt+T            = <<toggle-tabs>>
Ctrl+[            = <<indent-region>>
Ctrl+]            = <<dedent-region>>

Hi Patrick,

Ok, this is now added to Boa, like IDLE, use the commandline switch -s

Is there a way to have boa automatically execute the script pointed to by
the PYTHONSTARTUP environment variable when boa starts?

By way of example, the regular python shell started at the DOS prompt runs
PYTHONSTARTUP automatically and IDLE does so if launched with the -s command
line switch. One possible bit of code would look like this (taken from the

import os

RE: [Boa Constr] Building menu bar

[Patrick K. O'B. <po...@or...>]

What you are seeing in the first line of the menu is the menu title. To get
rid of it, set the title property to an empty string ("") instead of "File".

Perhaps the Boa tutorial should be changed, since most people will not want
titles on their menus (I would think). At least not under Windows. I'm not
sure about the Gnome and KDE standards but this behavior still strikes me as
a bit odd. Is this a boa thing or a wxWindows thing? Should the title
property be left blank (which in effect renders it useless) or should
something else be changed? Or do I need a clue? Hold on while I RTFM...

---
wxMenu::SetTitle
void SetTitle(const wxString& title)
Sets the title of the menu.

Parameters
title
The title to set.

Remarks
This is relevant only to popup menus.
---

That last line seems like a big clue - the title only applies to popup menus
(though apparently it shows up on regular menus if you do set it). Hmmm...
So is this a bug or should we not set the title for normal menus?

This is a resource problem.

The first big bug is that you are running win98 instead of an OS (like NT or
2000) ;)

wxPython does not release all the GDI objects it uses (mainly bitmaps). For
normal wxPython applications this isn't really a problem, but Boa uses many
bitmaps and widgets.

In ImageSource.py change
            return wx.wxBitmap(filename, wx.wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP)
to
            return wx.wxImage(filename,
wx.wxBITMAP_TYPE_BMP).ConvertToBitmap()

and similarly for .jpg images.

This uses less resources. The only other suggestion is to have as few other
applications open as possible when running Boa.
