Project description
rope, a python refactoring IDE and library …
Overview
rope is a python refactoring IDE and library. The IDE uses the library for providing features like refactoring, code assist, and auto-completion. It is written in python. The IDE uses Tkinter library.
New Features
Replace method with method object refactoring
Changing editor font and keybinding in ~/.rope
Handling with statements
Having two keybindings emacs/normal
Performing change signature in class hierarchies
Supporting builtin zip and enumerate
Execute command; M-x
Removing extra spaces and lines; C-c C-f
From this release, rope reads preferences from ~/.rope file. You can edit this file to do things like changing the keybindings and changing the font. The good thing about this file is that it is in python. So you can do anything you like there before rope starts. For example you can register your own Actions (see rope.ui.extension module for more information) there. You can edit ~/.rope using rope itself, too. (Edit ~/.rope in Edit menu or edit_dot_rope action in execute_command.)
One of the main problems new users of rope had was that rope used emacs keybinding and those not familiar with it had a hard time working with rope. This release adds a normal keybinding. You can use it by editing edit_to_rope file and setting i_like_emacs variable to False. The emacs keybinding has been enhanced very much. But be careful! Once you get used to it, you’ll be addicted to rope!
The names of some the refactoring classes have been changed. Those who used rope library probably have to update their code. The base parts of rope has been enhanced maybe as much as the UI parts. Introduce Method object refactoring has been added. Some of the old refactorings have been enhanced and the occurrence finding got notably faster.
