[cssed-devel] Python plugin

[Iago Rubio]

As I mentioned in my last mail, I'm going to explain the new python
plugin.

This plugin provides python binding for cssed's plugable interface. It's
just a way to make cssedd scriptable.

An example script can be:
--------------------------------------------------------
import cssed

text = cssed.get_text()
cssed.set_selection_range(0, cssed.get_length())
cssed.clear_sel()
cssed.add_text(text.expandtabs(4))
--------------------------------------------------------

This script will take all the text in the currently opened document,
select and delete it, and change it for a version of the same text but
with all tabs changes for spaces - 4 spaces per tab.

As you can see is a really easy way to add custom functionality to
cssed. If you want you can place those scripts in the $HOME/.cssed
folder and integrate it in cssed's menus.

I've been working with it for a long time and it's working really well
with all but poorly written scripts.

I've written some notes for users and developers that can help undestand
better how it works:

User Guide (start with this):
http://iagorubio.com/cssed/release-0.4.0/python-plugin-
doc/pycssed_user_guide-html-0.1/t1.html

Developer guide (then with this):
http://iagorubio.com/cssed/release-0.4.0/python-plugin-
doc/pycssed_developers_guide-html-0.1/t1.html

I've also uploaded some scripts I'm using and other test cases to test:

They're packaged here:
