Re: [Texmacs-dev] Python Plugin Information

Hi,

  you may change the prompt of a plugin using a so-called "channel". This is a special command sent from the plugin. Search the documentation for "output channels" and you'll find it.

Best,

Hi David,
 I think that the prompt is set up in the scheme code for plugins. Adrian Soto worked recently on the Python plugin. It would be great have something like iPython in TeXmacs.

Thanks for your help. Personally I do not have  a lot of time to allocate to plugin support (I'm working on other TeXmacs features right now) but if you have specific questions, keep asking in the mailing list and I and the other will try to provide some support.

Best

In fact I am in the process of completing an article using TeXmacs for the TeXmacs community about using the TeXmacs Python plugin with modules "scientific" by which I mean NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, SciTools, and Oct2Py, a Python module interface to GNU Octave that appears to function without any issues using the Python plugin. I will announce through this list when this article is ready for download and instructions for that purpose. After peer review and any feedback, I will offer this article for inclusion with those publicly available through the TeXmacs website.

I have scoured the tm_python code in order to determine how the plugin generates the "Python]" prompt for each line of input during the session and it has me baffled. If anyone with plugin or  Python expertise would be so kind as to look at the code to determine where this prompt is being generated, I will be in your debt. I want to alter this prompt to the conventional ">>>" Python interactive prompt. So far I have no clue as to how the prompt is generated by the code. Maybe it is an attribute of the associated Scheme code for the plugin. Ero Carrera can't remember much about his plugin since it was written some time ago.

This help will include two undocumented methods of the plugin that are "ps_out" which will insert an EPS file into the Python session and command completion that works to provide completion help from the input line.
