Hi, I represent the team behind NBPython, the Python plugin for NetBeans. First, some context for those that don't know us: Python was officially supported in NetBeans until around 2010. After languishing for five years, The NBPython Project was resurrected as a standalone, all- volunteer project in December 2014. Our code is currently hosted in the contrib repository (http://hg.netbeans.org/main/contrib/) and we rely on NetBeans bugtracker. We also have a website http://nbpython.org/ and a forum http://forums.nbpython.org
Our last release was made in November 2015 and I now think we are ready for a new one. The point of this email is to: informer as many users that we are planing to release and get feedback on what we are planing to do. I hope we will be able to do all that at Apache! From my side, I have some questions on which I'd love your inputs: - When do we do the release? Do we want for the Apache transition do be done? IMHO, August looks good. This would allow us to release with NetBeans 9.0 - Do we merge the improved completion and syntax validation? If so, do we enable them by default? - Do we merge the RST support? - Can we migrate our wiki pages from http://nbpython.atlassian.net/ (private and I don't have admin access) to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS? If so, I think we need a Contrib/NBPython space to put the pages. - How can we support the download of external binaries in the Apache process? We need to host two custom builds of Jython and some Python libs (for the new autocompletion/syntax validation). Here is a small summary of the main changes: - Improvements to completion and syntax validation. Feedback and review welcomed. The code is here: https://bitbucket.org/Jenselme/nb-contrib/commits/branch/jedi The wiki page: https://dl.jujens.eu/nbpython/autocomplete.html - Basic support for RST files (code is highlighted, text is run against the spellchecker). Feedback and review welcomed. The code is here: https://bitbucket.org/Jenselme/nb-contrib/commits/branch/rst The wiki page: https://dl.jujens.eu/nbpython/RST.html For the full list, see: https://dl.jujens.eu/nbpython/release.html If you don't want to build NetBeans or the NBMs yourself, you can get my development NBMs (that I use on my NetBeans 8.2 install) here: https://bitbucket.org/Jenselme/nb-contrib/downloads/ They include most fixes pushed in the NetBeans main/contrib and my completion/syntax/RST features. Feedback and contributions welcomed ;-) Regards, -- Julien Enselme http://www.jujens.eu/
