First off, If this isn't the right place to ask, tell me so. That way I won't make this mistake again :-)
I want to make a text editor. I know that there are hundreds out there, but practice makes perfect, and I need the practice. My problem is that I have no idea how to make one. I've tried a little already by defining line functions:
def line1():
def line2():
line1()
line2()
Of course, this only allows for 2 lines. What's the trick to an infinite number of lines?
Event driven programming is a must, obviously. How can I use 'Ctrl' + 'Q' to quit while still being able to type: "Press 'Ctrl' + 'Q' to quit YATENJoe"? I'm still a newbie to python (actually OOP programming in general!) so I can't have a lot of complicated stuff thrown in my face.
I'd like it to not be platform specific, but if it has to be OS bound to be simple, then that's fine.
I thought of a function that would define a function for me. Is this possible? If it is how would I do it? If it possible, here's my idea:
def makefunc():
# This is where it defines a function. If line1 = "full" then
# make a new line adding 1 integer do separate it from the first.
def l1():
l1()
makefunc()
One other thing, is there a way to call a function that is inside a function? 'Cause makefunc().l1() doesn't work.
Thanks in advance,
PS: FYI I use Windows XP Pro and Linux
PPS. FYI 2: I'm still a newbie to Linux too :-)
