Could a new IDE within AOO be created? Not really a true IDE, but I have seen MRI by Hanya has an output python prompt within UNO. http://imagebin.org/268328 TK is broken in the AOO version of Python so even if the idle code is available, doesn't really work. /opt/openoffice.org3/program/python /opt/ openoffice.org/basis3.3/program/python-core-2.6.1/lib/idlelib/idle.py ... import _tkinter # If this fails your Python may not be configured for Tk I have seen for example, the blender prompt for scripting animations in python, this certainly is one way of doing it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfFznB1KC5w http://imagebin.org/268327 > > Downstrip Eclipse or NetBeans and use the main editor with Python > support and think about a closer integration in AOO.

Also the macro factor, brings more instantaniety to a RAD. A developer from oooforum days (Danny) generated some libraries to abstract many of the python calls to the API so it can be more basic-like. I am not sure why these libraries wheren't shipped with the distribution of OpenOffice. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?p=56015 > time back thinking in this direction and used NetBeans and Java to allow > Java scripting in NetBeans but also deploying the scripts in AOO or even > in open documents in AOO. > > This should be possible but it's definitely a bigger project and > requires some skills. > > Juergen > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org > > -- Alexandro Colorado Apache OpenOffice Contributor http://www.openoffice.org
