Hi everyone, The editor in spe on my system (win XP home sp2) does not do automatic indentation..... I can't figure out why - it used to. I'm set up with subversion so I have the very latest stuff from Stani. It's amazing how not having automatic indentation can make working in the ide such a pain.
This has been going on for a while (like a few years), and the situation is deteriorating - used to be that the indentation would work for a while after restarting my system and then stop (until the next restart). Now, with his latest stuff, it doesn't work at all. Because it used to reset with a restart, it must have something to do with a dll, like the scintilla editor dll? But that's kind of hard to believe: why would the editor dll care about indentation? Anyway, I am extremely frustrated. I've tried other ide's: pythonwin (I found it inadequate for my purposes - why is a command line prompt displayed in a dialog window?) - eclipse (editor is just ok, shell does not have command history(!), and then *really* funky things started happening that I could not explain and so had to stop using it) - idle is good for small things and ok for larger projects but limited in general. I really like spe and want to continue using it. Stani himself seems pretty unreachable. Does anyone have a clue for me about what the issue is? Is no one else using this great ide? Or is no one else having this problem? Thanks for any help. -Rick King Southfield MI -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
