Wing Python IDE

Django Script

A plugin that provides Django-specific functionality when a project looks like it contains Django files.

django-sync-db ()

Run manage.py migrate (or syncdb in Django 1.6 and earlier)

django-sql (appname)

Run manage.py sql for given app name and display the output in a scratch buffer.

django-show-docs ()

Show documentation for using Wing and Django together

django-validate ()

Run manage.py check (or validate in Django 1.5 and earlier)

django-start-project (django_admin, parent_directory, site_name, superuser, superuser_email, superuser_password, pyexec=None)

Start a new Django project with given site name and superuser account. This will prompt for the location of django-admin.py, the parent directory, and the site name to use. It then runs django-admin.py startproject, edits settings.py fields DATABASE_ENGINE and DATABASE_NAME to use sqlite3 by default, adds django.contrib.admin to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py, runs syncdb/migrate (creating superuser account if one was given), sets up the default admin templates by copying base_site.html into the project, and then offers to create a new project in Wing and run the django-setup-wing-project command to configure the Wing project for use with the new Django project.

django-run-tests-to-scratch-buffer ()

Run manage.py tests with output in a scratch buffer

django-setup-wing-project ()

Sets up a Wing project to work with an existing Django project. This assumes that you have already added files to the project so that your manage.py and settings.py files are in the project. It sets up the Python Executable project property, sets "manage.py runserver 8000" as the main entry point, sets up the Wing project environment by defining DJANGO_SITENAME and DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE, adds the site directory to the Python Path in the Wing project, turns on child process debugging (for auto-reload), enables template debugging in the settings.py file, ensures that the Template Debugging project property is enabled, sets up the unit testing framework and file patterns in project properties.

django-start-app (appname)

Start a new application within the current Django project and add it to the INSTALLED_APPS list in the project's settings.py file.

django-run-tests ()

Run manage.py unit tests in the Testing tool

django-migrate-app (appname)

Run manage.py makemigrations for given app name and display the output in a scratch buffer.

django-restart-shell ()

Show and restart the Python Shell tool, which works in the same environment as "manage.py shell". To show the tool without restarting it, use the Tools menu.

django-show-migrations ()

Run manage.py showmigrations and display the output in a scratch buffer.

It then runs django-admin.py startproject, edits settings.py fields DATABASE_ENGINE and DATABASE_NAME to use sqlite3 by default, adds django.contrib.admin to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py, runs syncdb/migrate (creating superuser account if one was given), sets up the default admin templates by copying base_site.html into the project, and then offers to create a new project in Wing and run the django-setup-wing-project command to configure the Wing project for use with the new Django project.

Emacs Extensions Script

This file contains scripts that add emacs-like functionality not found in Wing's internal emacs support layer.

add-change-log-entry (user_name=None, email=None, changelog=None, changed_file=None, func=None, other_window=False, new_entry=False)

Add a change log entry Key Bindings: Emacs: Ctrl-X 4 A

Experimental Script

Experimental commands that may be removed from Wing in the future.

experimental-install-simple-names-callback (mtype, callback)

Install a callback for using a list of simple names for the autocomplete popup list for editors for the given mime type. This an experimental feature and may change in future releases. The callback needs to take 2 arguments: (internal-editor-object, ctx) and should return a list of strings to use for autocompletion. The ctx object will have the following attributes:

lineno -- line number of the line with the cursor cursor_pos -- position of the cursor in the document start_pos -- position of the word's first character in the document

Currently this cannot be used for python documents

An example of using this from a script is:

def _callback(ed, ctx):
  return ['one', 'two']
wingapi.gApplication.ExecuteCommand('experimental_install_simple_names_callback',
                                    mtype='text/plain',
                                    callback=_callback)

Editor Extensions Script

Editor extensions that also serve as examples for scripting Wing.

set-executable-bit (set_bit=True)
