:( again, sorry
DISCLAIMER:
I am NOT asking anyone to make this for me; I just want
to find out if something like this has already been made, before I take
all the time to code it from scratch (or pick another option).
Ok,
I'll admit that this is the epitome of laziness, but I was wondering if
anyone has made or released a very simple text editor (made in pyglet)
-- which I could then use as a starting point in making a simple app?
Basically,
I want a small note-taking program, but I want to modify the save and
load so that it stores the files in a certain way.
The simplest
solution would be to find a very simple open source notepad and edit the
save and load functions. :) But... I didn't really want to go with C++
right now. Another option is wxwidgets or Python ctypes+the win32 api,
but I didn't like that route, so figured I might try pyglet. :)
Since
it's just a simple little program for me and a few other people to use,
if almost feels like a waste to spend so much time writing a simple
working textfield when the core program might take even less time ...
and then all my work only benefits 2 or 3 people. :(
So... before
I go "reinventing the wheel" I thought I might ask first: Has anyone
made a simple notepad-style program ... or even just a feature-complete
textfield?
... and if so, is it available anywhere online under something like
BSD,MIT,PublicDomain that allows me to use it?
By feature-complete text editing, I mean all the features you would expect from
an OS native textfield:
* cursor placement with mouse/keyboard
* wordwrap
* a working scrollbar (for long documents)
* clipboard support (aka copy & paste)
* selection of text (so you can copy & paste)
* the ability to read/write the data as seen in the textfield so I can save and
load it from a file
I realize that pyglet separates handling of events from the displaying of
textfields, but I think you get the idea.
On
another note: would something like this actually be useful to anyone
else? If I do have to go about writing it all from scratch, it might
make it more fun if I could actually make something that other people
would benefit from (although be warned, don't expect great code,
especially since I've never used pyglet's API before).
