Python and the Symbol-Browser
« on: January 19, 2007, 08:31:57 am »
Hello everyone.

I know, CodeBlocks' native language is C/C++. But since scintila is used, C::B is able to higlight the syntax of other languages like Python. Is it also possible to configure the Symbol-Browser for other languages (especially Python), so that global variables, function and clases would be shown?

If yes, how?

If no, makes it sense to to request this feature for a C++ IDE like CodeBlocks?

Best Regards,
                    Eckard Klotz.

No, and no, sorry.

The symbol browser uses a self-made parser which does not understand Python and which already has enough troubles otherwise, too. There will be no major improvements or feature additions to that plugin. It will some day have to be replaced with something else, but that'll be a completely different implementation.
