gweb2py

A web2py editor. It is a highly experimental editor/ide for web2py. Q: Why I made it? A: First, I am a vim addicted, a console guy and a Linux user, but I was feeling lost editing all the files need it for web development.

So I need a solution, and quickly. I want to continue using vim to edit my files, I want something that did not change my way of doing it.

So gweb2py is a simple editor/ide with a messy/shitty code (you been warned). But I need something quickly, so I start coding like a monkey without design it first and without any care about the design.

Running

$ cd to_gweb2py_dir
$ ./gweb2py /path/to/web2py_folder

it will then ask you the web2py admin pass. the webserver runs on port 8000

Main Features

- Own httpserver (single process/thread)
- debugger
- logs http request with different colours
depending on http status code
- logs full http request and response
- web2py tracebacks available without
the need to open web2py admin.
- vim has the editor. it is vim not gvim embedded.
- image viewer

- In mac/windows the editor is a basic scintilla control.
(But I do not know if gweb2py works in this platforms.)

Requirements

• Linux:

  • Python 2.6 (probably will work with 2.5)
  • wxPython 2.8
  • python-vte
  • vim

  I am using it in Ubuntu 10.04.

• Mac/Windows (I do not even no if it will work on this platforms):

  • Python 2.6 (probably will work with 2.5)
  • wxPython 2.8

vim configuration

You can have whatever configuration you want. I am using the following vim plugins:

• pathogen
• snipmate
• supertab
• pep8

Instructions to install them are in the excelent John Anderson article: http://sontek.net/turning-vim-into-a-modern-python-ide

Note

Most likely I will not put much more efforts on this, I do not have the motivation or time to do it.
