Neither me, and I posted to their forum/list and never got a reply.
Pity, but it doesn't look like the author is serious about this or maybe
he just doesn't speak/write English.

some time ago I posted a message about Defis:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/defis/
on the wxpython-users list. Unfortunately, I haven't managed to get the
plugin to work with Editra, but this seems to be required for
development.
When I try to run the Editra installation provided in the Defis archive
(0.5.72), and open the Plugin Manager, I get an error dialog box with
this:

And the Plugin Manager simply doesn't show the plugin.

VERBOSE_DEBUG in the preferences dialog or start Editra with the -dd
option you can see more of the error traceback. Basically the plugin
is throwing an exception when its being imported so it cant be loaded
due to an error on its end.

Where in the dialog box that is opened by choosing Edit->Preferences
is this option? I've searched the pages back and forth, but I couldn't
fins any option like that.
BTW: The way these pages in that dialog are nested on two sub-levels
using two different types of widgets is ultra-unintuitive.

Unfortunately, even started with this option, the Editra Log does not
show anything else than this single line.
However, starting Editra.py from Pyscripter, shows this in the output
of Python:
*snip*
import H:\Anwendungen\defis_0.5.3-py25\ic\kernel\icContext.pyc
IMPORT ERROR: pcyso
*snip*
import H:\Anwendungen\defis_0.5.3-py25\ic\utils\ic_util.pyc
ImportError: Recompiled DevId module
Now what's that module "pcyso"? Happens to be a typo in icContext.pyc:
try:
import psyco
psyco.bind(Context.update_context)
#init = psyco.proxy(init)
except:
print 'IMPORT ERROR: pcyso'
So this only reveals that the plugin tries to load psyco. But
apparently it should be supposed to work without.
Sincerely,
Wolfgang

Its the very first option at the top of the dialog when you open it.

In over 6 years your the only one to say anything remotely negative
about the configuration dialog. Would be interested in hearing some
rational to support your statements.

Yes, but what about the second import error shown above after the
psyco one? That one doesn't appear to be getting trapped.
It really seems like there a lot of fundamental issues in that plugins
code that would lead me to venture that it probably doesn't work or
was never developed to a point of actually being functional.
Unfortunately I don't really have the time to dig into issues on a non
supported plugin when the issues don't have anything to do with Editra
itself. You will need to either find the author of it or try to fix
the errors in it on your own. However if you have or run into any
Editra specific questions feel free to ask.

To me it does like this is indeed used for some actual productivity
applications (see screenshots, the quite extensive manual), but that the
Defis&Editra version(s) available on sourceforge are simply not the ones
that the author uses/has used himself for application development.
And there seem to be two people involved with the project: One who
reads and writes english (I got a reply from him stating that thy're
looking for project financing to refactor and translate the whole
project), but he doesn't seem to be the actual developer. And the
actual developer whose address I found in the (russian) pdf manual
doesn't seem to read and write english, so...
Grmpf. :-(
Sincerely,
Wolfgang
