Hi Steve,

Thanks for the enhancement, it's really appreciated! Rich text docs are one of our selling points and I have a lot of cool plans for them in the future. It was quite annoying to see them blocking the entire app though, so that's why your contribution is so important!

About Github: Given that all our devs are more fond of mercurial than of git (especially because of Tortoisehg), I've been considering to just open a github mirror (instead of doing a full migration, which was my initial proposal). So all our issues and development workflow will stay in google-code, but we could still get contributions of people who prefer Github. This is very important, because several people (like you) have manifested their interest in contributing but have been disappointed by our lack of a Github repo.

Now that you raise the issue again, I'll do a couple of experiments to see how easy is to integrate back changes in Github to our mercurial repo, and I'll probably open the mirror next week.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hey all, I hacked at spyderlib/plugins/inspector.py to create the rich text doc strings in a QThread, to avoid the annoying lockup while editing. I tested it and it works great. Let me know if there is a better way to submit these changes.

I know you all talked about switching to GitHub earlier, and I would like to echo that sentiment. I have contributed to scikit-image and enaml, and it has been as simple as sending them a pull request, having inline discussions on the site, and them absorbing the changes directly. The folks at scikit-image have posted an excellent workflow description, modeled after the one used by the IPython developers: http://scikit-image.org/docs/dev/gitwash/index.html. I was using mercurial prior to working with them, but GitHub has completely sold me, and the minor differences have not been troubling.

Regards,
Steve Silvester
