You are venturing into the "unsolved problems" area. Ideally, I'd
like to see a jython based model inside pydev where we can write
our own refactoring functions at will. I am still hoping that
someone will bite the bullet, delve into jython, and come up with
a source model that would be a joy to use, and easy to write the
model-dependent functionality in. That has not happened yet, so....
I do not feel that requiring cPython to be present for some
advanced functionality is a bad thing. My debugger requires
cPython too. The plugin would not have to install .dll binaries,
right? My biggest worry is proper GUI integration: what happens
with errors, how responsive will the UI be...
Good to hear that you are sticking around :)
