Sorry no updates right now

I am busy with doing stuff for University but I hope I will find some time the next days to complete the core. Therefore I have to add support for the new script descriptor files. More on that later in a separate post.

ScripterNG plug-in documentation

In progress documentation is now available at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddggcjfj_205f5wsvf2

There is also a document about my previous evaluation at http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddggcjfj_16ccjdxrcp

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/mikro.py, tests/test_mikro.py:
Better introspection support for ScripterNG object (via
__members__)

The benefits of dynamic binding using the Qt meta object system

Here you can see the old way to write a function which can be used from Python:

PyObject *scribus_opendoc(PyObject* /* self */, PyObject* args)
{
 char *Name;
 if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "es", "utf-8", &Name))
     return NULL;
 bool ret = ScCore->primaryMainWindow()->loadDoc(QString::fromUtf8(Name));
 if (!ret)
 {
     PyErr_SetString(ScribusException, QObject::tr("Failed to open document.","python error").toLocal8Bit().constData());
     return NULL;
 }
 return PyBool_FromLong(static_cast(true));
}

And now the new way:

bool ScripterNGImpl::openDocument(const QString & filename)
{
 bool ret = ScCore->primaryMainWindow()->loadDoc(filename);
 if (!ret)
 {
  RAISE("Cannot open " + filename);
  return NULL;
 }
 return ret;
}

That's all :-)

You only have to make sure the method is defined as a slot or as invokeable. Parsing, checking and converting parameters is not needed anymore. For a more complex method you will save a lot of overhead.

Less code is easier to understand and to modify.
So I hope this will motivate others to contribute to this plug-in.

Real screenshots

These are actual screenshots and no mockups like before.

I hope you won't see this window that often. It pops up if an error occures.

Here you can see the script editor which is available via the ScripterNG menu.

QtScript is already enabled.

ChangeLog

I removed this feed from planet-soc.com because I don't think there are many interested in this blog and I don't want to bore the rest ;)

But here you are on my blog, so I guess you are interested in some progress. I am currently in the stage where I complete the core. With core I mean the technical base which will enable me to add new API functions easily bit by bit.

The current plug-in code compiles and is available on the SourceForge SVN server. But you won't see much because most stuff is under the hood currently.

Here is a complete changelog so far:

2008-06-12 15:17 henning

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/mikro.py, tests/test_mikro.py: Moved
mikro test code into separate file

2008-06-12 02:16 henning

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/mikro.py: Fixed connect and added
disconnect

2008-06-12 02:15 henning

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/init_scripterng.py: Check for PyQt4
and report problems on console

2008-06-12 01:52 henning

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/mikro.py: Named child objects are
now available as attributes

2008-06-12 00:56 henning

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/init_scripterng.py,
src/scripterng_plugin/python/mikro.py: First use of PyQt 4.4
features.
C++ methods can now be called from Python scripts inside
ScripterNG.
This is an important step to make Scribus functionality available
to
Python.
It's not that much code but it required heavy thinking about a
efficient implementation.

2008-06-10 22:58 henning

* src/scripterng_plugin/python/init_scripterng.py,
src/scripterng_plugin/python/sandbox.py,

src/scripterng_plugin/scripterngimpl.cpp, tests,
tests/mainwinstub.py, tests/mainwinstub.ui, tests/test_menus.py:
Now the plug-in can hook into menus and a menu entry in the
ScripterNG
menu with an example editor/shell was added.
