It sounds like I want to do something similar to danesh1354. I want to create a lightweight text editor written in Python that uses a custom file format. Fabez, would you mind pointing me in the right direction too?
First does it make sense to customize or learn from any of these text editors:
PyQT4 Text Editor (a tutorial in three parts)
Simple text editor in PyQT4 Extending PyQT4 text editor PyQT4 Text editor - final changes
PyWord
PyWord/pyprime Homepage - PyWord and pyprime
Edge (a joking and/or simple version of PyWord)
edge source code - PyWord and pyprime
Txtinator
Txtinator - a text editor written in Python - Blender Artists Forums
Code for a text editor posted to ubuntuforums
Python Text Editor help - Page 2 - Ubuntu Forums
There are a few different GUI toolkits represented (QT4, Tkinter, wxPython). Does anyone have any recommendations? Are some better for certain purposes?
Finally, does anyone have any tips on getting a text editor to read from and write to a custom file format, probably XML-based.
Thanks.
