[SE|PY-macdev] Re: sepy-macdev digest, Vol 1 #95 - 4 msgs

[Loren G. <se...@in...>]

I used to be a PC user, and also used macs for a year at the Media 
Design School (Auckland, NZ) but only OS 9. That alone did not convert 
me. I decided to by an iBook a year later and what more can I say 
except that I haven't gone back to a PC unless I was forced to.

Be warned. Anyone buying a Mac with OSX will not want to use Windows 
any more. :D

As far as sepy for mac goes. I have a pretty good version of 1.0.6.5 
working but there are two annoyances for me:

1: If there is nothing in the clipboard or non-text in the clipboard, 
sepy brings up errors.

2: Scrollbars - when you open a new document, the vertical scrollbar is 
about 10 pixels off centre and the horizontal scrollbar is about 100 
pixels below the document. What is annoying about this is that when 
resizing the window, the scroll bars will not shrink down to any size 
less than where they were when you opened the document. This means that 
you have to make your window small before you open the document, then 
make it bigger.



I would not consider myself a python developer but I have managed to 
hack around with sepy enough to fix a couple of little bugs.


To me, sepy has more than enough features to easily be the best 
actionscript editor around (perhaps even too many) but on mac there are 
just too many bugs that are annoying. A lot of features I don't use so 
the two bugs I listed above are just the ones that affect me.

I would love to help sorting out sepy for mac. It may take me a while 
to be of any use though, anyone know a good book on python?


Personally I would like more time to be spent on fixing bugs rather 
than adding new features but ultimately, sepy is free and open source 
and I know it has been a project of Sephiroth's to learn about python 
so asking him to stop putting new features in and fix the bugs would 
not be fair at all. I want to help as much as I can. Just last night i 
was trying to work out how to fix the 2 bugs listed above. If I have 
any luck with them I will of course let you all know.

Cheers,
