I am trying to get started on writing a plugin or two for Spyder, and
I have a few questions. First, I see by searching around that others
have been interested in a 'hello world' type plugin example for Spyder
in the past, but nobody ever seems to actually have a working copy of
one. Do any of you have one you put together? Barring that, the
thing to do seems to be to copy and modify the pylint plugin, which
can work, but starts off a bit complicated. Are there particular
modules inside spyderlib/ that would also work as plugin examples,
were they to be renamed and moved to the plugin directory?
Second, for anyone doing plugin development, how do you do your
debugging? So far, I've been editing the plugin from within Spyder
itself, then shutting it down and re-launching (from bootstrap.py).
This works OK, but when something goes wrong, the diagnostics are
minimal, and I lose my undo/redo history. And I can't run
'bootstrap.py' from another instance of Spyder, since this doesn't
seem to do anything (presumably since it sees Spyder is already
running). Do you just launch bootstrap.py from a different IDE
altogether? Any recommendations?
Finally, I am running into a smallish issue, but due to #2 above, I
can't figure out what the problem is. If I change this line in
p_pylint.py:
self.register_shortcut(pylint_act, context="Pylint", name="Run
analysis", default="F8")
to:
self.register_shortcut(pylint_act, context="Pylint", name="Run
analysis", default="Ctrl+F9")
the shortcut will indeed change to F9. However, if I try other things like:
self.register_shortcut(pylint_act, context="Pylint", name="Run
analysis", default="Ctrl+F8")
And sometimes even changing it to F9 doesn't work, and it keeps the
old F8. Is it caching the value somewhere? Is there a way I can step
through what's going on?
Thank you!
