Hello Julien, thanks for your work on NBPython. I use it daily because for OracleLabs GraalVM group Python is really essential.
First of all our build system [mx](https://github.com/graalvm/mx/) is written in Python and it really helps if I get reasonable editing behavior when working on the mx.py & co. thanks to NBPython modules. Second, we are supporting [Graal/Truffle based implementation of Python] (https://github.com/securesystemslab/zippy) and we plan to expand on that. It would be great if NBPython worked with our Python version out of the box and could also benefit from its unique features in the future. May I have a single wish, however? I was trying to use NBPython debugger to debug our build system [mx](https://github.com/graalvm/mx/) and failed to get it working - maybe that is something that could be fixed for the upcoming version? Then I'd be completely happy NBPython user. Best regards and thanks for keeping NBPython project on! -jt On neděle 2. července 2017 20:49:21 CEST Julien Enselme wrote: > 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.
