Editra, an extensible programmer's editor written in wxPython, contain a
cool IPython plugin. This mail is a follow up for a discussion with
Laurent, The author of the plugin, in his blog, continue here
according to his
request. The Orginal discassion can be found in
http://ipython0.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/editra-ipython-plugin-under-work/or
at the end of this mail.


Using papi to set\redefine IPython's magic word partly do the job, The other
part is to execute some arbitrary python code inside The ipython shell.
Invoking papis "ex" method (Using papi from *ipython_panel.IP._IP.getapi() *)
let the Code run in IPython's context, but the output is printed to Editra's
stdout (The console in wich I invoked editra's from) and not in the IPython
in the shelf.  My attempts to set sys.stdout to an handler from, let say,
_term.cout or others, cused IPython to stack. futher more, the Exeption
throws while I call ip.ex, is cought within Editra and withn IPython.

Further more - I wish to change, If I can, Only IPyShell/__init__.py and not
the stuff in "IPython" dir, as it seems as a "pure" copy of IPython's
orginal source (is it?)


Thanks,
Ronen.

   That’s a one cool Plugin.

   What will make it ideal, is better integration with Editra’s Editor:
   Make ipython’s %edit Open the edit-buffer in Editra’s current Windows,
   and Enable poeple to run The code they edit in Editra inside the open
   IPython windows…
   Any hint where should I try to hack in order to achieve those?

   Thanks,
   Ronen.

   Hello,
   You can have access to the plugin repos:

   # Non-members may check out a read-only working copy anonymously over
   HTTP.
   svn checkout
http://editra-plugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/editra-plugins-read-only

   The plugin name is ipyshell, in it’s directory you’ve got the whole
   ipython source + the plugin source.

   It need a little refresh for sure [image: :)] .

   If you want to try to hack it take a look @Ipython/gui/wx the whole code
   is in ipython_view and ipshellnonblocking.

   ipython_view -> gui interface
   ipshellnonblocking -> the interface with ipython

   You can add:
   ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
   def myEdit(self, arg):
   print ‘do what you want’
   ip.expose_magic(’edit’, myEdit)

   to WxNonBlockingIPShell inside ipython_view.py

   Please note that if ipython is ever installed on your system you’ll have
   to make a eggsetup.py develop to make sure to use your new local copy.

   We can discuss about all of this in ipython-dev mailing list [image: :)]

   Cheers,
   Laurent
