#63 running/debugging fails from within Blender

[Anonymous]

Due to the poor support of Python editing,
I was happy to find out that
Idle was the (only) editor which could be run from
within Blender it self. Unfortunately debugging
wouldn't work (AttributeError:__nonzero__ for
Delegator<ColorDelegator.recolorize()<Tkinter.callit()<...).
Still Idle for Blender remains very usefull, as I can
run and import programs without any problem. The
text/python editor for Blender is very primitive (no
indentation,calltips or auto completion) so I am really
happy to use the Idle.

I downloaded IdleFork as I expected that debugging
would have been improved and maybe possible for
Blender. Unfortunately Blender crashes with Idlefork.
Setting use_subprocess to zero helped. I now can open
the editor from within Blender. But even running or
importing doesn't work anymore also.

As Idle is 100% Python it would be nice if it can be
run with a function like main(), but not focused on
sys.argv
eg launchIdle(files=[],edit=1,shell=1,debug=1,...)
This would allow Idle to be launched from within any
environment also Poser and Truespace.

To conclude my request is:
1 a function like main to be called from Python, not
from the command prompt

2 To make Idle edit, run and debug in Blender

Any reaction would be highly appreciated,
Thanks a lot,

PS
I'm using python2.22 which is also the supported Python
version of Blender.

As a Blender Foundation member, I suppose I should
pay some attention to this. I did fix the problems with
running IDLE without the subprocess. Please try again
using the current CVS or wait for the beta release.

Further work on this will have to wait, I'm afraid.

The debugger has not changed much; I'd be interested
in hearing your priorities for improvements. If you have
some, please enter as Tracker RFE items.
