Code generators seem to be popular in Python. (http://www.google.com/search?q=python+code-generator)
Certainly not. The most of them will be used for generating bindings. Apart from that, you rareley (if ever) need to generate code.
I have one that I'd like to integrate into IDLE. Ideally, I'd like to (1) have a new file type show up when I use the File/Open dialog, and (2) have a function key that lets me run my generator against the file, just like F5 lets me run my Python code; ideally, I'd like to re-purpose the F5 key to be file-type aware. I've got a simple extension written that uses the F6 key to "compile" my files, but two goals I've listed seem a bit beyond me. Does anyone have any advice/pointers? Or is one or both ideas impractical? Thanks!
You might consider using eric, a python-ide written in python with the Qt-Framework. It allows plugins.
