< p > Besides being < a class = "reference" href = "http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie" > a delicious dessert< / a > , Py is the name for a collection
of whimsically-named Python programs and modules that began as the
PyCrust project. So Py is really several things: a set of standalone
programs, including the original PyCrust program, a library of Python
2004-06-09 01:40:10 -04:00
source code modules that can be used in your own programs, and as many
2004-02-04 18:39:15 -05:00
examples of bad " pie" puns as I can come up with. (If you're going to
do something, you might as well do it all the way, right?) Py uses
Python and wxPython, so it works equally well on Windows, Linux and
Mac OS X.< / p >

2004-02-04 18:39:15 -05:00
< p > This project began with a program I created called PyCrust - an
interactive, graphical Python shell, developed using the wxPython GUI
toolkit. For about two years, PyCrust was hosted on < a class = "reference" href = "http://www.sf.net/projects/pycrust/" > SourceForge< / a > .
Shortly after I created PyCrust, the wxPython folks started including
it in their distribution. As the PyCrust project grew, it reached a
point where I thought the original PyCrust name was too confining. I
was using the PyCrust code base to develop programs that weren't just
Python shells any more.< / p >
< p > Around that same time, the wxPython folks asked me if I'd be willing
2004-03-26 16:27:23 -05:00
to move all my wxPython-related projects into the < a class = "reference" href = "http://cvs.wxWidgets.org" > wxPython CVS
repository< / a > , and become part of the < a class = "reference" href = "http://www.wxpython.org/" > wxPython< / a > /< a class = "reference" href = "http://www.wxWidgets.org/" > wxWidgets< / a > developer team.
2004-02-04 18:39:15 -05:00
I decided the time was right to restructure the PyCrust project.
During the move, the PyCrust package was renamed to " py" (lowercase
" p" ) and the collection of programs and modules as a whole became
known as " Py" (with a capital " P" ).< / p >
< p > The original goal of PyCrust was to be the best interactive, graphical
Python shell (of course, I claimed it was the " flakiest" Python
shell). And that was all I wanted it to be. But little by little I
found myself developing a wider variety of tools for wxPython
applications. Eventually I'll create a debugger (PySlice, perhaps)
and whatever else is needed to one day become a complete wxPython
application development environment (PyFactory?). In the mean time,
PyCrust is still the flakiest Python shell, and the other Py programs
are equally tasty.< / p >
< p > At this point, Py has standalone programs that include Python code
editors (PyAlaCarte and PyAlaMode), interactive Python shells (PyCrust
and PyShell), and a runtime wrapper (PyWrap). The runtime wrapper
utility provides you with runtime introspection capabilities for your
wxPython programs without having to include PyCrust or PyShell in your
program, and without having to alter one line of your source code.< / p >
< p > Py also contains a collection of modules that you can use in your own
wxPython applications to provide similar services, either for your own
use during development, or as an interface for users of your programs.
2004-06-09 01:40:10 -04:00
These modules are the same ones used by all the Py programs.< / p >

< p > PyAlaCarte is a Python source code editor. It is designed to have a
simple, single-file interface. As a standalone application, it is
good for simple, short editing tasks. But it is really meant to be
more of an example of how to embed the Py editor into a wxPython
application.< / p >

program with a PyCrust frame at the same time. Inside the PyCrust
2005-05-09 19:17:49 -04:00
shell namespace, the local variable < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > app< / span > < / tt > is assigned to your
2004-02-04 18:39:15 -05:00
application instance. In this way you can introspect your entire
application within the PyCrust shell, as well as the PyFilling

namespace viewer.< / p >

2004-02-04 18:39:15 -05:00
< p > Py was designed to be modular. That means graphical code is kept
separate from non-graphical code, and many of the Py modules can be
used by other programs. Likewise, other programs can supply some of
the modules needed by Py. For example, you could supply a customized
interpreter module and plug it in to the PyCrust standalone
application. As long as it supports the minimum functionality
required, PyCrust will work just as well with your interpreter as with
its default interpreter.< / p >

< p > Applied a series of enhancments by Franz Steinaeusler, Adi Sieker, and
Sebastian Haase, up until their 7-31-2005 version. (Their next
version broke some existing functionality, and added some confusing
hacks, and I didn't feel that the incremental gains were worth the
loss at that point so I stopped at 7-31-2005.)< / p >
< p > Their changes include the following:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > The Autocomplete and Calltip windows can now be opened manually with
Ctrl-Space and Ctrl-Shift-Space.< / li >
< li > In the stand alone PyCrust app the various option settings, window
size and position, and etc. are saved and restored at the next run.< / li >
< li > Added a help dialog bound to the F1 key that shows the key bindings.< / li >
< li > Added a new text completion function that suggests words from the
history. Bound to Shift-Return.< / li >
< li > F11 will toggle the maximized state of the frame.< / li >
< li > switched to Bind() from wx.EVT_*().< / li >
< li > Display of line numbers can be toggled.< / li >
< li > F12 toggles a " free edit" mode of the shell buffer. This mode is
useful, for example, if you would like to remove some output or
errors or etc. from the buffer before doing a copy/paste. The free

< p > On top of these changes I (Robin Dunn) added the following:< / p >
< ul class = "simple" >
< li > General code cleanup and fixes.< / li >
< li > Use wx.StandardPaths to determine the location of the config files.< / li >
< li > Remove Orbtech attributions from the UI, they've been there long
enough.< / li >
< li > Use wx.SP_LIVE_UPDATE on crust and filling windows.< / li >
< li > Extended the saving of the config info and other new features to the
PyShell app too. Additionally, other apps that embed a PyCrust or a
PyShell can pass their own wx.Config object and have the Py code
save/restore its settings to/from there.< / li >
< li > All of the classes with config info get an opportunity to save/load
their own settings instead of putting all the save/load code in one
place that then has to reach all over the place to do anything.< / li >
< li > Enable editing of the startup python code, which will either be the
file pointed to by PYTHONSTARTUP or a file in the config dir if
PYTHONSTARTUP is not set in the environment.< / li >
2006-10-18 19:46:44 -04:00
< li > Added an option to skip the running of the startup code when
2006-01-06 02:05:15 -05:00
PyShell or PyCrust starts.< / li >
< li > PyCrust adds a pp(item) function to the shell's namespace that
pretty prints the item in the Display tab of the notebook. Added
code to raise that tab when pp() is called.< / li >
< li > Added an option for whether to insert text for function parameters
when popping up the call tip.< / li >
< li > Added Find and Find-Next functions that use the wx.FindReplaceDialog.< / li >

instances of classes defined in the shell.< / p >

autocompletion when typing a dot after an integer. If the

This means that Shell " is a" wxStyledTextCtrl rather than " has a" .
There just wasn't enough non-gui code to justify the separation.

2005-05-09 19:17:49 -04:00
< p > Changed < tt class = "docutils literal" > < span class = "pre" > introspect.getRoot()< / span > < / tt > to identify some situations where
2004-02-04 18:39:15 -05:00
strings shouldn't be considered roots. For example:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
> > > import PyCrust # To illustrate the potential problem.
> > > len('PyCrust.py')
< / pre >
< p > Typing the dot at the end of " PyCrust" in the second line above should
NOT result in an autocompletion list because " PyCrust" is part of a
string in this context, not a reference to the PyCrust module object.
Similar reasoning applies to call tips. For example:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
> > > len('dir(')
< / pre >
< p > Typing the left paren at the end of " dir" should NOT result in a call
tip.< / p >
< p > Both features now behave properly in the examples given. However,
there is still the case where whitespace precedes the potential root
and that is NOT handled properly. For example:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
> > > len('this is a dir(')
< / pre >
< p > and:< / p >
< pre class = "literal-block" >
> > > len('This is PyCrust.py')
