Re: [PyCrust] Some enhancements. Any interest?

Hi Patrick!
Good to hear from you !
That sounds great that you are still with us and with PyCrust ;-)

+ why is there a need for a special "PyCrust subversion" - isn't PyCrust now 
"part" of wxPython !? see below...

+ I would really suggest to stop using  the pycrust-users list for now ... 
(I'm cross posting to wxPython-users)
+ Further I would suggest to IMMEDIATELY make a note to the sourceforge page 
that PyCrust 0.6 from 2001(?) is NOT the latest and that instead there it is 
now (more) incorporated into wxPython itself ( refer wxPython.org frontpage 
and also the wxPython wiki)
+ To clarify on the name: As Robin wrote just recently (2006-02-15 14:08: "Re: 
[wxPython-users]  Re: Pycrust enhancement with plugins")  I would like get 
your - Patrick - blessing of officially calling the whole project  "PyCrust"  
again - "Py" is too often used as generic prefix as not googleble either !

+ I had some improvements myself that mostly made it into the 2.6.2 wPython 
version (see ChangeLog): most often I use the "free edit"-mode to clean out 
100s of lines of "accidental" output; also I like using the search function;  
the folding function should be made to support nested folds, but I'm not 
really using it much anymore...
What I do use a lot is: drag&drop of files into the shell window to trigger a 
"paste" of the filename. (I don't think this made it into wxPython !)

+ I like Bill's idea of adding 'ls' and 'cd' (or other shell functions) - the 
same way IPython does it -- but I'm not clear of what a good "syntax" would 
be for this (maybe just a '.[a-zA-Z ]' at the start of the line (or even a 
space ' ') -- I just think that IPython is much to complex and should not be 
followed all the way ... 

+ I /would/ like "tab"-completion on variable-, module-, function-, 
module-attributes-,... names (if not unique a popup)  -- but this is just an 
idea...

Thanks for PyCrust !
