[Pythoncard-users] CodeEditor Fails to 'Run with Interpreter'

[Dave F. <dav...@gm...>]

Hi,

I'm completely new to Python and am running PythonCard-0.8.1 (with 
wxPython) under Mac OS X (Panther, Version 10.3.7). Thanks to all those 
responsible...

I've successfully used CodeEditor to construct and run a simple script, 
but the process is less than ideal because the 'Run with Interpreter' 
command behaves exactly like the 'Run' command. I.e., I get no feedback 
other than that the application does not appear or, if I'm lucky, it 
appears but may or may not work.

Can someone point me to configuration problems or other errors I may 
have introduced to yield this behavior?

Alternatively, can someone suggest a good Python development 
environment that works well with PythonCard under OS X?

Thanks,
Dave Fulker

Sorry - no ideas.

I use Wing-IDE for debugging Pythoncard (on Windows), and I know it also 
runs on OSX, apparently well  (though I haven't used it there myself).  
It's not free, though it's pretty reasonably priced for personal use.

I use the Pythoncard editor most of the time - the experimental one 
called oneEditor/tabcodeEditor - but on the relatively rare occasions I 
need actual debugging with breakpoints etc. I switch to Wing-IDE.

You might want to try Eric3--a very powerful and comprehensive Python
IDE. It requires PyQt to be installed, but I've put together a large
binary installer for all this stuff--see
http://www.wordtech-software.com/pyqt-mac.html

I'm also working on putting together a bundle of Stani's Python Editor
(SPE) which is also based on wxPython. It used to be very buggy on the
Mac but now works well--I'm working with the developer to iron out a few
small bugs.

The MacPython add-ons provide the best Python development environment 
for the Mac. See http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/.

Check out the other packages you can download with the package manager. 
The Python manuals in a help file are particularly good.

As for the difference between 'run' and 'run with interpreter' I'll look 
into it. We're probably not spawning a terminal session properly, or 
need specific instructions to integrate with the MacPython IDE if it's 
installed.

Regards,
Andy
