For people who do a lot of stuff in a shell window and record / edit / manage that stuff in Leo. This might be command line computer / software management (bash or whatever), or SQL or R even ipython, although Ville's tools provide tighter integration in the last case.
My first attempt at this was the interact.py plugin which attempted to use subprocess.Popen to interact with bash / R / psql / whatever. It worked ok, but not ok enough to be smooth for everyday use. Here's a new approach, which assumes you use 'screen', the shell session manager / switcher. If you're not, you should be. Basically this just streamlines the whole process of pasting commands from Leo to the shell window, and optionally pasting results back in to Leo as a record of what happened. leoscreen.py - interact with shell apps. via screen =================================================== (an simpler alternative to interact.py) Analysis environments like SQL, R, scipy, ipython, etc. can be used by pasting sections of text from an editor (Leo) and a shell window. Results can be pasted back into the editor. This plugin streamlines the process by communicating with ``screen``, the shell multiplexer Commands created ---------------- leoscreen-run-text Send the text selected in Leo's body text to the shell app. leoscreen-get-line Insert a line of the last result from the shell into Leo's body text at the current insert point. Lines are pulled one at a time starting from the end of the output. leoscreen-next Switch screen session to next window. leoscreen-prev Switch screen session to preceeding window. leoscreen-other Switch screen session to last window displayed. **IMPORTANT IMPLEMENTATION NOTE**: screen behave's differently if screen -X is executed with the same stdout as the target screen, vs. a different stdout. Although stdout is ignored, Popen() needs to ensure it's not just inherited. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
