Thats very encouraging Edward! Today I finally got to the working-testing phase, as soon as it does the intended basics I'll release, looks like half way next week at most =) On Saturday, September 28, 2013 2:17:28 PM UTC+2, Edward K. Ream wrote: On Tue, Sep 24, 2013 at 10:36 AM, Fidel N

I wonder how many people actually use the leoBridge? +1 here Most of the Leo-related code I mull is based on leoBridge: given my interest in Leo as a data store with great editing capabilities: manipulating Leo files programatically is crucial for my interests. Thanks, Kent On Sat, Sep 28,

Ville, what is the status of leo.core.leoIPython.py?

2013-09-28 Thread Edward K. Ream
I suspect it may be useful, but it contains many old-style IPython imports. My *guess* is that most or all the stuff in GlobalIPythonManager is obsolete, but I'm not so sure about the leoNode class and all the rest. Much of the ILeo chapter in Leo's docs deals with these classes, so this is
