Python + GTK + Scintilla = outdated?

Dusty · 2006-03-07 02:00:32

I'm looking into replacing text widgets with syntax highlighted ones... wanted to use scintilla and do it in python and gtk. Searched web... scintilla + python seems best supported with QT. Damn, I don't feel like learning QT right now, this is a rush job. Searched some more... pyscintilla2 appears to be a GTK wrapper for scintilla... from 2004!? Why isn't something so exciting being maintained? This is the only site I found: http://sra.itc.it/people/cavada/PyScintilla2.html

Is there no way to get an up-to-date scintilla widget in python assuming I'm using GTK? Has it perhaps been included into a bigger project (gtk itself?)? It seems so important, I don't understand why it wouldn't be maintained...

gtksourceview is in the python-gnome packages.

Thanks, that'll do for my quick and dirty hack, if I can make it work. In the long run, I'm looking for a text component we might use in magnum.... depending on gnome isn't really acceptable here. I might contact the gtkscintilla guy and see what's up; perhaps I can take on the project in my copious spare time.

I wouldnt be surprised if you could compile gtksourceview without gnome support..... The actual widget is in it's own seperate package.

Ok, I might try it. My only final complaint then would be that gtksourceview doesn't appear to support everything scintilla does.... like code folding. Not that I use code folding much. I code python; never write enough lines of code to actually have to hide some.... hm.

Thanks again,
Dusty

you can try pyQT which has qscintilla wrapped by default

Gnome isn't a big issue here: the only "GNOME" dependency is libgnomeprint, which will go away as soon as GTK gets to 2.10. I wouldn't even call libgnomeprint a GNOME package, as it doesn't depend on any GNOME pieces. The only thing that it does is provide a printing API to GTK programs, which happen to be GNOME programs most of the time. It could be named libgtkprint, just like gtksourceview was.

edit: damn, this post was old. Seems nobody programs somehow, this forum isn't filled at all
