In another thread I said, "it doesn't seem likely that emacs will ever be scriptable with python. Unless some hero steps up Leo in emacs will remain a tantalizing possibility, just out of reach."
Happily I was forgetting pymacs and Leo's bridge <http://leoeditor.com/emacs.html#controlling-leo-from-emacs-using-pymacs>. In effect, Leo's support for pymacs *already* makes emacs scriptable using python! To repeat the example: ; Step 1: load leoPymacs if it has not already been loaded.(setq reload nil)(if (or reload (not (boundp 'leoPymacs))) (setq leoPymacs (pymacs-load "leoPymacs" "leo-")) (message "leoPymacs already loaded")) ; Step 2: compute the path to leo/test/ut.leo using a Leo script.(setq script "g.app.scriptResult = g.os_path_abspath( g.os_path_join(g.app.loadDir,'..','test','ut.leo'))")(setq fileName (leo-run-script nil script)) ; Step 3: execute a script in ut.leo.(setq c (leo-open fileName))(setq script "print 'c',c.shortFileName() ,'current:',c.p.h")(leo-run-script c script) Folks, this is a big deal. An emacs champion could easily: 1. Add any desired (python) functions to leoPymacs.py. 2. Add any desired (elisp) hooks to emacs, especially org mode. The way appears open to embed Leonine support into emacs. Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
