[Pyzo] possible to use Pyzo editor/components in another program?

[Vince West]

I'm working on a PyQt5 pandas/gui application. Ultimately the plan is to
have some capability to write and store small scripts (like some plotting
scripts or whatever) that are internal to the application. I could use just
a PlainTextEdit, but I quite like the Pyzo editor, and was wondering if I
could just do something like this:

import sys

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets
from pyzo.core import editor

qApp = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)

form = QtWidgets.QWidget()
layout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(form)
editor = editor.PyzoEditor(form)
layout.addWidget(editor)

form.show()
sys.exit(qApp.exec_())

This code throws an uncaught exception:

Uncaught Python exception: module 'pyzo' has no attribute 'icons'
File "C:/Coding/Python/dataquick/sandbox/pyzo_editor.py", line 10, in
<module>
editor = editor.PyzoEditor(form)
File "C:\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pyzo\core\editor.py", line 285, in
__init__
self._menu = EditorContextMenu(self)
File "C:\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pyzo\core\menu.py", line 1201, in
__init__
Menu.__init__(self, editor, name)
File "C:\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pyzo\core\menu.py", line 207, in
__init__
self.build()
File "C:\Miniconda3\lib\site-packages\pyzo\core\menu.py", line 1206, in
build
icons = pyzo.icons

Before I go too far down the rabbit hole, I'm wondering a few things
1) is Pyzo sufficiently modular to use the pieces directly from the package?
2) Could I do this with the embedded interpreter also, but this time use
the interpreter to play with the application itself? (i.e. if I am making
dataapp, and embed a pyzo console into dataapp, I'd like the pyzo console
to have some local variable access to some data objects inside datapp)

I have been looking over the code for a bit now. I am wondering if there
are any quick tips on executing this.

Thanks

Hi!

Nice to see someone hacking with Pyzo in this way :)

The code editor component is actually written to be modular, so I
*think* this should work:
from pyzo.codeeditor import CodeEditor

As for keyboard shortcuts, these are rather central to the application,
making it hard to modularize; you'd probably have to implement your own
menu.

As for the shell, I have done no attempt to make this modular. However,
have a look at the logger tool, which is essentially a shell in the app
itself, which seems to be what you're looking for.
