nbPython Milestone 5 is out

I have posted milestone 5. You can get it here(https://nbpython.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=9641&expandFolder=9641&folderID=0)


Just a note, Milestone 5 has a completely new project system. so any project created before Milestone 5 will not open. My recomendation is that you create the project with a new name and then copy the files from the old source directory to the new source directory. Then everything will be ok.

Thanks,
Alley

Netbeans to support Python, It's offical

Today at EuroPython 2008, Ted Leung (Dynamic Languages & Tools Architect, Sun Microsystems) and Frank Wierzbicki (Jython Project Lead, Sun Microsystems) announced that the NetBeans IDE will be supporting Python and Jython in future releases. At the core of bringing Python/Jython support to the NetBeans IDE, is the formation of the NBPython Project, led by community member Allan Davis.

For more information, visit the NBPython Project page and request membership to the project. For developers wishing to contribute, sign up for the development mailing list.

In addition, the Sun Developer Network (SDN) is also launching the Python Developer Center and is planning to feature Python/Jython technologies in future Sun Tech Days events, a 15-city world tour designed to educate developers in local markets on various technologies. Python runtime support is already available in OpenSolaris 2008.05, via the pkg.opensolaris.org repository, as well as with Cool Stack on Solaris 10-based systems.

nbPython Demo on Netbeans.tv

Hello again.
I have posted the m3 video on www.netbeans.tv. Some people were having a problem with youtube and some networks block that as well. So here it is again. Click here to open a new page(http://www.netbeans.tv/community/nbPython-M3-353/).

What's New in nbPython Milestone 3

What i am trying to do with our development is release a milestone about every two or three weeks. With that in mind i am proud to release milestone 3 of nbPython. The release can be downloaded from the nbpython site(https://nbpython.dev.java.net). There are a couple of great new features in this release.

The first of the new features is execution of a python script. In the project window, If you right click on a python script one of the options is run. Select this option and it will be run in the output window at the bottom. Also if you have the script already open in the editor, On the menu bar select run then run python script.

The second new feature is being able to set Python interpreter in the options panel. To access the options panel, select Tools then Options from the menu bar. Once the menu bar is displayed go to nbPython button on the top. Now the nbPython options are displayed. You can set the python interpreter to your favorite python runtime. If you are using CPython then check off the native option below the interpreter command. Click ok to accept the changes
That's it for this release.
Code you later,
Alley
