The Micropython-editor was featured in this CircuitPython newsletter this week! Look about halfway down.

I have added a few lines to rename the original file before saving by appending a '~' (tilde)
in put_file

was:

os.remove(fname)

now:

    try:
        os.remove(fname+'~')
    except:
        pass
    try:
        os.rename(fname,fname+'~') 
    except:
        pass

Your thoughts?
Is this the best way to discuss this with you?
Are you still interested?
Feel free to email me.

I have no idea how I can install this on the ESP32 dev module that has micropython installed!
How do I get this running? Read.me doesn't say anything!

As you mentioned, Mac OS does not support control-(arrows). Nor does it have home, end, pg-up,pg-down

Do you know of a fork that does ?

It might be obvious but I can't figure it out

Thanks for this tool!

had/have a few problems getting it working but managed in the end (needed to rebuild rp2 micropython port to include ure for a start) but editor seems to work quite well in chrome when chrome is being used to access the repl

Can you give me some guidance on what modifications to the pyEditor code is required for accepting UART Inputs and also for displaying on an attached display?

Right now all inputs and outputs are run off the serial console.

Why I’m asking: I have a USB Host mode running on a coprocessor and sending keyboard codes to the main processor via UART. On the main processor I have a small display (240x240 pixels) showing the REPL console. I want to edit files using the attached USB keyboard through the UART and see it on this display. I want to be able to do this without requiring attachment to a computer via Serial. Basically, I want to make this a stand-alone CircuitPython computer. I’ll appreciate any guidance on how to update your code to support this standalone concept.

First, my apologies if this is not the place for this kind of question, but I didn't know where else to ask.

I was wondering if this library could be the backbone for a custom Distraction-free Writing Device where something like a Pico would be used in low frequency paired with a keyboard and a small LCD screen? It would be a standalone write-on-the-go little machine, not dependent on any other computers, but perhaps write the text files on a MicroSD card.

Thank you

Hi Robert,

I absolutely love your editor and think it should be a core app for MicroPython.

I am planning on possibly forking pye.py for the ESP8266 to do try and carefully pare down the feature set such that the app becomes more amenable to normal use, without needing to be frozen. I plan to keep to basic, bare set of editing features, and trash the rest.

Anyway before I get started digesting the app, do you KNOW how of any areas in the code where this could be done.

Keep up the good work!

Hello,
when i edit my code in REPL btw. pye('code.py') i only see the whole code in one line.
Is here the problem, that there are missing linefeeds?
Can i convert this in pye?

Regards
Juergen

"content can be redirected or pipe'd to pye."

What can this be used for. Being a VERY interactive editor I'm having trouble envisioning setting up a command stream, including control characters .

Thanks

It would be useful to return the selected string OR clipboard on exit.

Usage:
>>> pye('troubled.py')
...
select source line with complicated syntax (maybe copy to clipboard) and/or multiple lines with indents.

Example:

            start_line, start_col, end_line, end_col = self.mark_range()
            start_col = max(start_col - self.margin, 0)
            end_col = max(end_col - self.margin, 0)

^q (( Maybe ask "return selection/clipboard/filename (s,c,f): ))

>>> ^v (paste to REPL)
>>> print(.format "{ I left out the closing brace.", variable)

Removing leading indent!

Normal copy paste will include indents and be unacceptable for REPL

Do all/most ESP32's (that you are familiar with and would run pye) have significant RTC (recovery) memory which could be used for clipboard or undo stack?

When you are testing and debugging (like using pye ) do you usually connect via USB or WiFi?

I have made few minor enhancements to your 2.73 source.

what is a good way to merge my changes into version 2.77 ?

this is a general question as I expect this may happen again here or in another repository.

thanks for your continued assistance.

Are you familiar with
GoogleChromeLabs/serial-terminal#41

Hi. Thanks for pye; I like it.

One problem: when creating a new file, I get an AttributeError 'module' object has no attribute is_dir.
