Discuss: is it time to retire the python_terminal plugin?

[Edward K. Ream]

#1155 suggests retiring the python_terminal plugin.  This plugin is known to cause segfaults. Nobody seems to have any interest in fixing it.

Now that the pyzo_in_leo plugin is (partly) functional, using pyzo's "Shells" window seems good enough.

What say you?

I haven't kept up to date with how pyzo features are available in Leo.

Pyzo is installed and the pyzo_in_leo.py plugin is enabled but from the Plugins menu no pyzo plugin or information is available.

LeoDocs currently has no mention of pyzo plugin. Are there any guides on how to use Pyzo shells?

Regards

Lewis

1. Enable pyzo_in_leo.py plugin.

2. Run Leo using --global-docks on the command line.

HTH,

Chris

Upon further review, I am not going to do this, for the following reasons:

1. #1212 apparently fixed the segfault problem, at the cost of disallowing tab completion.

2. User's shouldn't have to enable the pyzo_in_leo plugin to get the same features.

3. Rev c000b2f in devel adds some warnings, visible in the `@file python_terminal.py` node.

In short, this issue is make work.
