Thanks. It's not meant to be used as a standalone IDEs/Editor. I myself use PyCharm (with vim plugin when I need to edit fast). This is to test stuff out quickly. I also used an older version of expressPython to train some graduate hires. I also use it to do various coding challenges to keep myself sharp.
i own and am an active subscriber for IntelliJ and PyCharm as well, though i'm using it very rarely (basically only if i'm developing a django app) nowadays.
I personally used Hydrogen[1] for your mentioned UseCase.
It even lets you keep objects around, so you don't have to repeat every action just to execute a function with some data. (especially handy if you're consuming web services and want test your parsing rules)
As Hydrogen is backed by the Jupyter Kernel, you can get a similar workflow with vscode and PyCharm... though i have to say that hydrogen unique in its integration. haven't really come across anything even remotely as effective for just trying out code
I hope I'm not discourage you. Your software is a quite neat and kudos for going the Native route instead of Electron!
Thanks, When I first started this project in 2014 for my personal use, atom wasn't stable on Windows it crashed often and barely worked. I don't remember VSCode was there in 2014. Now it's 2019 and we have lot of good choices.
- Has a python API, this opens up a lot of possibilities. Language server protocol, linting and formatting tools, perhaps mypy
- Highlighting
- Jedi integration
- Being able to glue python and c++ to get it to work together in itself is a feat (where I've tried and failed before: https://www.git-pull.com/#scrapyard :P)
How did you like working with QT?
GPL is okay, except it precludes those when open source ambitions incompatible with that license. BSD/MIT/ISC/Apache projects can't pull it in. Too much paperwork to pass onto a layperson, a potential contributor.
If you want to go with C++ & Python I suggest use Boost. Don't take the hackish approach I've taken. -- My bad looks like you didn't get the boost working. Take a look at my code, but I don't think it's very good C++. Boost is the idiomatic way.
How did you like working with QT? I loved it. It feel native in C++ and have a very extensive documentation, not to mention really nice API. Qt source code was probably the best C++ code I've read.
GPL license is the only license allowed for Open source Qt projects If I understood Qt license correctly, I'd have preferred to go MIT. I'm not entirely sure. So I just went with GPL to be safe.

Also nice CI loop with appveyor! re: https://github.com/JaDogg/expressPython/blob/master/appveyor...
Please keep working on this
