(at least C++).? Why should you put such a restriction? If you implement a command processor you could have a bunch of custom made commands like "EnterInPython", "TabInPython", "EnterInC", "TabInC", etc that could be mounted appropriately to the key presses upon loading a file or upon saving it with a certain extension. You could bind the "F5" key for example to either "ExecutePythonFile" or to "MakeProject" or whatever. If you decople things and just provide a lot of commands plus an easy way to map them to keys people will get interested. Maybe someone would like a little bit more motivation so, he/she would inherit "ExecutePythonFile" and before calling the super "do" method would insert a small call to a wx.Sound.Play that would play a "Yeah baby!"; file. This would be a trivial thing to implement using a command processor/commands decoupling and it could encourage beginners to think about contribution. Build it and they will come if they can see a very easy way to tweak things. -- Peter Damoc Lead developer for Inamed CAIS Planning System http://www.cms.ro/tech.php?loc=cais&lang=en

Most languages have a common set of commands like this, the key binding would be bound the commands, and exactly what the commands do would be mode-specific. We'd only need a Python mode to start, but one or two others would really help get a more universal infrastructure in place. C/C++ is an obvious choice, and I know I'd like LaTeX. -Chris -- Christopher Barker, Ph.D. Oceanographer NOAA/OR&R/HAZMAT (206) 526-6959 voice 7600 Sand Point Way NE (206) 526-6329 fax Seattle, WA 98115 (206) 526-6317 main reception Chris.Barkernoaa.gov ------------------------------------------------------------ --------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: wxPython-users-unsubscribelists.wxwidgets.org For additional commands, e-mail: wxPython-users-helplists.wxwidgets.org
