Rope IDE and library are released in two separate packages. rope package contains only the library and ropeide package contains the IDE and the library.

New Features

• Handling imports when inlining

• Handling recursive restructurings

• Better diff highlighting

Inline method refactoring can add imports when necessary. For instance consider mod1.py is:

import sys


class C(object):
    pass

def do_something():
    print sys.version
    return C()

and mod2.py is:

import mod1


c = mod1.do_something()

After inlining do_something, mod2.py would be:

import mod1
import sys


print sys.version
c = mod1.C()

Also rope can inline class methods; for instance in:

class C(object):
    @classmethod
    def say_hello(cls, name):
        return 'Saying hello to %s from %s' % (name, cls.__name__)
hello = C.say_hello('Rope')

inlining say_hello will result in:

class C(object):
    pass
hello = 'Saying hello to %s from %s' % ('Rope', C.__name__)

Restructurings can handle recursive patterns like searching for ${?a} // ${?b} in 1 // 2 // 3. Also the diffs in show history and preview changes dialog are highlighted.
