NAME

       codeEditor - A Python-aware code editor written using the PythonCard GUI framework

SYNOPSIS

       codeEditor [file] [switches]

DESCRIPTION

       The  codeEditor program is one of the tools included with the PythonCard GUI framework.  It is focused on
       being a simple to use Python source code editor.  It is not intended to be a generic  editor  or  replace
       vi(m),  Emacs,  etc.  If  you  are already happy with your existing editing environment for Python source
       code, there is no particular reason you have to switch.

       codeEditor borrows ideas and code from IDLE as well as Mark Hammond's Pythonwin, PyCrust (the  PythonCard
       shell)  and Robin Dunn's pyshell.py. The core editor component uses the wxPython wxStyledTextCtrl (wxSTC)
       which in turn uses Neil Hodgson's Scintilla. Isn't open source fun? In 15 minutes you can have  a  pretty
       decent editor by standing on the shoulders of others.

SWITCHES

       Note that switches must come after any filename in order to be recognized.

       -p     Show property editor

       -m     Show message watcher

       -l     Enable logging

       -s     Show shell

       -m     Show namespace

       -d     Show debug menu

NOTES

       The  codeEditor  utility  also  provides  additional functionality that is not discussed in this manpage,
       because it is somewhat difficult to completely describe usage of a GUI program in a  text-based  manpage.
       For  more detailed usage instructions or for more information on the PythonCard GUI framework in general,
       you should install the pythoncard-doc package and take a look at the various walk-throughs, tutorials and
       samples included with it.

       Once   the   pythoncard-doc   package   is    installed,    the    documentation    is    installed    to
       /usr/share/doc/pythoncard-doc,  and  is  also available via Debian's doc-base infrastructure - find it in
       the Devel section using dwww(1), doc-central(1) or dhelp(1).

       If you would rather not install the pythoncard-doc package, you can find essentially the same information
       on the PythonCard website:

       http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net

BUGS

       Although it is considered to be stable, this is still development-level software.  If you use  codeEditor
       as a real text editor then you may want to work on backup copies of documents in case there are bugs that
       might corrupt your text.

       Please  report  bugs  in  this  or  any  PythonCard  component  to  the  Debian Bug Tracking system using
       reportbug(1).
