[Monodevelop-devel] Parser Overview

[Christian Hergert]

With your help, I was able to get this moving somewhat.

As an addin, this needs a lot of work. But it currently supports:

   - Python project type
   - Project and file template
   - Pluggable python runtimes (cPython2.5 only currently. this will change
   after i get the ui components added)
   - Precompiling of python modules (either .pyc or .pyo for optimized)
   - Code folding for functions/comments/classes
   - Really basic completion that I will be adding to over the next few
   nights (basically until its usable for myself daily)
   - Parsing of python code is done via a subprocess to a long running
   python process.  This allows for building a real AST using the "compiler"
   module.

and the obligatory screenshot

Cheers!
