MooCoderPy-rjmatthews62 0.4.4

Coding IDE/Client for LambdaMOO style servers

MooCoderPy

Python/Tkinter version of Moocoder

MooCoder is an IDE for programming MOO Code in LambdaMOO or similar servers. It incorporates a built in MOO/MUSH client, supports the local edit option, and allows you to load and edit object verbs in different tabs. It supports syntax highlighting, jump to error location and a stack trace window.

This should run on Python 3.6 (or better) and uses the tkinter with no external dependencies.

The original Delphi implementation can be found at https://github.com/rjmatthews62/MooCoder

Installation

Can be installed via pip:

• pip install moocoderpy-rjmatthews62
• python -m MooCoderPy

Setup

• Settings -> Server Config : set server address (and port). You can also set font size.
• File -> Connect - Connect to server
• File -> Disconnect - Disconnect from server
• File -> Open - Open a local file in the editor

External Editor support:

If you set @edit-option local+ on your MOO server, the @edit command will be redirected to MooCoderPy's internal editor. Selecting Edit->Send Update (or F5) will issue the correct command to update whatever you are currently editing. Each edited item will have its own tab, and you can use the test line as for the verbs.

Project->New Tab (Ctrl+N) - Loads a verb into its own tab. Press F5 to compile.

Project->Get Verbs (Ctrl+Shift+V) - Load all the verbs for an object into the verbs window. You can double click in the Verbs pane to edit that verb.

Project->Clear Project - Close all code windows and clear verb list

View->Toggle View Ctrl+Shift+T - Toggle between terminal and previous edit view.

Basic error checking and stack trace implemented.

Syntax Highlighting implemented.

Command History is supported using the up and down arrow keys

Each code window has an optional single-line test command which will run on successful compile (F5)

Bracket Matching implemented

Right-Click in code window will bring up a context menu.

• Goto Line Ctrl+G will got to a line no in a code window.
• Find Ctrl+F - find text in current window
• Find Again F3 - repeat last find
• Replace Ctrl+H - search and replace text
• Refresh Ctrl+R - Reload page from server
• Redo Syntax - redo syntax highlighting on page
• Close - Close current window.
• Undo - Ctrl+Z - undo last changes
• Redo - Shift+Ctrl+Z - redo last changes

A double-click on an error message or stack trace in either the stack or the main terminal window will go the the relevent source code.

Property Editing

Project-->Get Properties Will load all the properties of an object into the "Properties" tab.

• Double clicking will allow editing of the property.
• Simple types (String, Int, Float, Object) will be edited in a popup window.
• More complicated types (Map, List) are edited in an edit window. The lists and maps are split into lines for ease of reading and editing. The extra lines will be removed on update.
• Use F5 to write the update back to the server.
• List Properties can be converted to plain text for ease of editing. This will only work with simple lists, and will save as a flattened list of strings.
• You can add a test command for each property page.

SCRATCHPAD

Edit-->Scratchpad - Opens a scratchpad window, allowing uploading of multiline commands. F5 will send the contents of the scratchpad to the server. Use with care.

TODO

Scratchpad (for multi line commands)(done) File Edit save (?)
