bscintillaedit 0.0.7

PySide6 bindings with a widget that wraps the ScintillaEditBase widget from Scintilla project

BScintillaEdit

This project is superseded by pyside6-scintilla (MIT-licensed PySide6 binding for Scintilla's ScintillaEditBase). No further development is planned here.

This project provides a BScintillaEdit widget derived from a QScrollArea that embeds the ScintillaBaseEdit from Scintilla. The widget can be used as a simple text editor that supports:

• showing the line numbers and endings
• multi-line select and delete

The Python bindings are made with shiboken6 and work with PySide6.

PyPI

The package can be installed from PyPI:

pip install bscintillaedit

Usage

from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication

from bscintillaedit import BScintillaEdit

SAMPLE_TEXT = """
Lorem ipsum odor amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.

Dui enim odio natoque libero accumsan mus maecenas himenaeos.

Sapien est turpis maecenas diam turpis ultrices tempus.
"""


def run() -> None:
    """Start application."""
    app = QApplication()
    window = BScintillaEdit()
    window.setLineEndVisible(True)
    window.setLineNumbersVisible(True)
    window.setLineWrapped(True)
    window.setText(SAMPLE_TEXT)
    window.resize(300, 300)
    window.show()
    app.exec()


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run()
