I'm trying to import a python source code file into leo via "Main menu-
>File->Import->Import To @file".
For a minimal example consider that the file contains this code:
--- cut here ---
class MyClass:
def method1(self):
pass
m1 = method1()
def method2(self):
pass
m2 = method2()
--- cut here ---
Please try importing this and see what happens.
The "class MyClass" node has the following body:
--- cut here ---
class MyClass:
@others
m2 = method2()
--- cut here ---
and two child nodes (one for each method).
They look like this:
--- cut here ---
head:
method1
body:
def method1(self):
pass
--- cut here ---
head:
method2
body:
m1 = method1()
def method2(self):
pass
--- cut here ---
As you can see, the line "m1 = method1()" landed into the second
child.
I want it to land into the first one, because it's related to it.
The line "m2 = method2()" landed into the body of the class node.
I want it to land into the body of the second method, because it's
related to it.
Now, after importing the python code, I change the @file directive to
@shadow.
I can make the needed changes manually to achieve my goal.
The changes will stay persistent (to leo restarts) as long as there
will be "shadows" in .leo_shadow directories.
As soon as these directories disappear (for any reason: they get
deleted, the source code tree is replicated in another place without
them), the @shadow tree gets refreshed automatically, and I loose the
correct layout again.
I would be happy to change the things manually after import, assuming
there's a way to achieve persistency without depending on the content
of .leo_shadow directories (if that is possible somehow), so I would
need to do the manual changes only once.
I'm confident that I can't use @thin, because the source code files
need to be modified outside leo by other people, thus they must not
contain sentinels.
