[Pydev-code] Re: Jython scripting

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Hi Don,

I'm forwarding it to the pydev-code list, as I think it might be useful to
others...

A general question about Jython scripting.

Actually, you can do it, but you have to know a bit from the Eclipse API
too... A 'simple' way of doing it would be requesting the editor document
(something like editor.getDocument()) and play with it. It is an IDocument,
and you can get whatever you want from it and change it as much as you like=
.

Also, maybe taking a look at PySelection (
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/pydev/org.python.pydev.core/src/org/p=
ython/pydev/core/docutils/PySelection.java?rev=3D1.7&view=3Dmarkup
)
might be worth it... It provides a nicer interface for getting info from a
document/selection.

You can instantiate it in jython with:

from org.python.pydev.core.docutils import PySelection
sel =3D PySelection(editor)

Cheers,

Fabio

Hi Fabio:

As far as I can see there are no methods in PySelection that allow you
to put text back into the editor, is this correct?

I know that I can do what I want with an IDocument using the replace 
method, I just wondered if I am missing something in the PySelection.

Thanks,

Don.

Re: [Pydev-code] Re: Jython scripting

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Actually there is 1 method that does it (but it's the single one, so, you
may want to use one of IDocument if it's not what you want):

public void addLine(String contents, int afterLine)

Cheers,

Fabio

Ah, ok.  This does not do quite what I want.  I want to replace the 
current selection with some new text.  Right now I am using something like:

             selection = PySelection(editor)
             selected_text = selection.getSelectedText()
             offset = selection.getAbsoluteCursorOffset()
             length = selection.getSelLength()

             document = editor.getDocument()
             new_text = "Did this make it in?" + "\nNew line"
             document.replace(offset, length, new_text)

Don.

Re: [Pydev-code] Re: Jython scripting

[Fabio Z. <fa...@gm...>]

Yeap, that's what I'd do too... Maybe I can do a 'replace selected text'
method in pyselection...

Also, I think that the scripting engine could start having some 'utilities'
module that you can use, where this kind of stuff would go so that you coul=
d
share it among scripts (and maybe provide a more pythonic interface for man=
y
of the things Eclipse provides). What do you think?

Yes, I think that would be good.

I am wondering what to do about my own utility modules. I use a couple 
right now that I was thinking of incorporating into the source of my 
pyedit_ file or simply including as peer files with the pyedit_ file. 
  Any thoughts on the right way to do this?

Don.

PS.  I really wish that Jython had kept up with CPython.  My coding 
style is 'Google and steal' and I keep tripping up on things that are in 
later versions of CPython but not in Jython.

I think that you could do a module (say: docutils.py -- or something
descriptive on what it has if that's not all it contains), put your
functions there and import that module from your scripts (the jysrc and the
additional scripts path should be on your pythonpath).

Yeap, I wish that too... hopefully they'll turn a 2.2 version soon enough (=
I
keep track of the jython list, and it appears there is development going on=
)

Hi!

Now I feel my script pyedit_assign_params_to_attributes.py is mature enou=

In this version I've incorporated a few of the guards and tricks recently=

discussed on this list, and I now no longer wait for Enter to activate af=
ter=20
Ctrl-2+a. Otherwise there are no changes in functionality from the alpha1.

Cheers guys!
