IdleOpenLine
Python IDLE extension to open a specific line in a file.
What does this extension do?
This IDLE extension allows you to open a specific line and column from
a terminal launch command, such as idle-python3.12 my_file.py:32:4
and jump to line 32 column 4. This line indexing syntax is very common
in error/warning messages in many systems such as Ruff.
There is also support for opening a selected area, such as
idle-python3.12 my_file.py:32:4:36:9, which would jump to 32 column 4 and
select the region starting at line 32 column 4 and ending at line 36 column 9.
Regions that are not fully defined, such as my_file.py:32:4:36, will not
be selected.
Example usecase
If you happen to be using Tilix, if you go to Preferences > Advanced > Custom Links, you could add the following:
Regex: (?:\/*?[a-zA-Z0-9-\.\_]+\/)*[a-zA-Z0-9-\.\_]+\.(?:pyi?)(:[0-9]+)*
Command: idle-python3.12 $0
This will make it so if there are filenames ending in .py or .pyi in your terminal window,
you can open them in IDLE by Ctrl + Clicking on them!
