[Bf-python] Text Editor Project and BPyTextPlugin

[Dietrich Bollmann]

Hi Ian,

[admitting that I only saw the video and never tried your tools myself]:
Your editing functionality looks very impressive and helpful!  

Thank you very much!

As somebody completely accustomed to do everything with emacs I only
wonder why every tool needs its own editor nowadays (see for example
processing, grace, ...).  

I find it kind of annoying to have to learn another editor for every
language / system I am dealing with and rather accept to do without some
very specialised functionality than to renounce my good old emacs
functionality I am used to.  Of course I don't want to say that
everybody should only use emacs :) the same is valid (for other people
used to those tools) for vi, eclipse, ... 

So here a question:  Do your scripts depend tightly on Blender - or
could it be possible to integrate them easily into another editor
(python / blender mode) also?

Thanks :)

And good luck :)

Dietrich
