I'm thinking of implementing a real-time collaborative text editor in Python
using Twisted. An initial plan is to use a Twisted PB server daemon that
accepts user:password:f ile connections from text editor clients to make
changes to a specified file on the server, and have the text editor clients
update their local copies of the file based on local user input or input
entered from other users, relayed via the server.
Jabber compatibility would be nice, as would color-coding of different
users' text, etc. But I really want to keep this as simple as possible for
a specific purpose. (I've written with twisted PB recently and am very
pleased with its power and ease of use.)
I'd appreciate pointers to any existing, simple Python-based text editors
suitable for being adapted to this purpose. "Suitable" means under an
OSI-approved license and written cleanly and modularly to facilitate
incorporation into another project.
Offers to collaborate would be gratefully accepted. The result, if any, will
be GPL'd and released. If anyone wants to take these ideas and run with a
project of their own, be my guest.
Thanks,
Ed Suominen

with control.

There are already editors that support such things, so imagining
how it works, while interesting, might not be the best approach
to get started... vim, for example, already can do this sort
of thing. I'm certain there are others out there.
Could you provide a link to any info on how to do this in vim?

Cool! I've wondered about this in the past. Not sure how useful it
would turn out to be, but would be fun to find out.
See SubEthaEdit (Mac OS X only, unfortunately) for a very nice
implementation of this idea.
There is also something called Hydra.
Hydra == old name of SubEthaEdit.
I don't know why they changed the name.

Suppose I want to write a book with many authors via the Web. The book has
a hierarchical structure with chapter, sections, subsections, subsubsections,
etc. At each moment it must be possible to print the current version of the
book in PDF format. There must be automatic generation of the table of contents,
indices, etc. Conversions to many formats (Latex, DocBook, etc.) would be
welcome. Does something like that already exists?...

at pycon, several mac users were using a collaborative text editor where each
user's text background color was a different color as they edited the same
document at the same time while they took notes during the lectures. does
anyone know the name of that program? it was one of the coolest things i've
ever seen :)

Hi guys,
I just upgraded to "Visual Studio .net 2003 7.1 c++" from VS6.
Some things I like (proper for loop variable scoping, for example), but some
other things are troubling me.
One annoying behavior is that the text editor often "hangs" (doesn't let me
type) while compiling. Is there a way to fix this so it behaves more like
VS6 (editor does not hang while compiling)?

Hey
Do any of you know of an IDE or tool that allows two or more people to
work on the same code in real-time? I know a text editor would work,
but having code coloring and everything would be nice.
I haven't been able to find anything with google, so I'm curious as to
whether or not there really is one.
Thanks

Hi,
I am a bit disapointed with the current Python online documentation. I
have read many messages of people complaining about the documentation,
it's lack of examples and the use of complicated sentences that you
need to read 10 times before understanding what it means.
That's why I have started a collaborative project to make a user
contributed Python documentation. The wiki is online here:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
