Did that yesterday. It worked. > Generalizing [the code] is always in my mind. When I awoke I saw that yesterday's code must indeed be generalized. Now. Yesterday's code changed pyzo.config to pyzo_config everywhere in pyzo_support. That's hardly a general solution. *leo/plugins/pyzo* The next step will be to create a second, *complete*, copy of pyzo in the plugins directory. Why do that, you ask? leo/*external*/pyzo is the *reference copy.* It contains useful traces. It won't ever change significantly, and will probably be removed once all pyzo-related projects are complete. leo/*plugins*/pyzo will be the *experimental copy*. The goal will be to find the minimal changes needed to adapt pyzo to Leo, not the other way around. To make imports work without changes, the "root" folder must be called "pyzo", not pyzo_support. *De-fanging "import pyzo"* Almost all of pyzo's modules start with "import pyzo". This import must be made benign. It must init all global data *without* instantiating pyzo's editors, shells, tools or servers, etc. I plan to add a *start_leo_in_pyzo* function somewhere, probably in pyzo.__init__.py itself. This will do all and only what Leo needs. This is a highly experimental plan. The experimental copy will: reduce risk, allow easy reversions of code, and allow me to compare *reference traces* with *experimental traces*. *Summary* leo/plugins/pyzo will allow me to experiment safely with significant changes to pyzo's code, especially pyzo's startup code. Side effects of "import pyzo" must be eliminated. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
