Work to date

NOTICE

Questions:

From David:

1. What do we want to show? How should we implement the blocking of undesirable things? IE, a list of things that we allow or a list of things that we block
2. I've worked around the __class__attribute by wrapping the relevant code in a try/except block. I let the code generate an AttributeError, and then ignore that error. That object is not not included in the list. That seems good enough for the moment. Do we want that happening in the finished product?

Development Notes:

30 July 2002

• Added simple user manual (in the form of an HTML help file), which is included in the JES.zip. The new file is called 'How to use JES.html'.

• added comments to JESCommandWindow

27 July 2002

• More code cleanup
• Uploaded the simple JES Installation Guide file

18 July 2002

• Updated JESCommandWindow and JESInterpreter
• Fixed the problem Dr. Guzdial was having with loading a file in the middle of typing "hello".
• When you try to type a newline in the command window somewhere you aren't allowed to type, nothing happens and the cursor doesn't move.
• Choosing cut in the command window somewhere you aren't allowed to cut will now copy.

• Updated JESProgram, JESUI, JESEditor, and JESEditorDocument to enable the prompting to save a file before loading.

15 July 2002

• JESProgram.py modified, save now calls saveAs if the file has not been named.

14 July 2002

• Splitter bar added to JESUI to allow the command window size to be changed.

12 July 2002

• Updated JESCommandWindow. Now multiline pastes will only paste the first line of code in the command window. Code entered after that should execute fine.
• A change was made in JESInterpreter, which I think was to correct a cursor problem, and now it's causing problems in the command window. I added it to the bug list.

11 July 2002

• The error Dr. Guzdial noticed has been fixed.
• The stop button works.

10 July 2002

10 July 2002

• Updated JESCommandWindow. Fixed the cut and paste overrides, so now you can cut, copy, and paste between the two text panes.

• Updated JESEditorDocument. Fixed problem where keyword highlighing doesn't highlight words if they are preceeded with a tab.

7 July 2002

• Added skeleton function headers to all of the ones that didn't already have headers
• Commented some functions that I could easily tell what was going on
• Made sure that existing headers all are in the same format
• Made sure that all line are within 80 characters (except for long messages in JESConstants)

6 July 2002

3 July 2002

• Action.py changed to JESAction.py

2 July 2002

• system saves AND tabnannies
• the LOAD button works, but I don't handle file errors completly correctly

• added JESCommandWindowDocument.
• updated JESCommandWindow:
• set all text except current command line as uneditable.
• cleaned up showText and showError

1 July 2002

• Updated JESUI with code to add help menu options.
• JESUI actionlistener calls openBrower to open help files when they are selected in help menu.

30 June 2002

• make checkTabs return T/F
• tabnanny will probably work after all (I'm a moron) the call checkTabs() works in my tests, but I don't think we're loading files yet, so I haven't really tested it. it sends its output to the command window
• the file tabnanny.py is the tabnanny of python 2.1. it has to be included
• showVars() works now, but we have a cluttered variable-space
• don't know how to handle errors in loading the preprocessing file
• JESDebugWindowWrapper sits around JESDebugWindow, and keeps a count of the number of debug windows that have been opened.
• JESOutputBuffer was misnamed. It is now called JESStdOutputBuffer it is not a general output buffer, but only capures stdout

• Updated JESAbout class with some comments and cleaned up code.

28 June 2002

• tabnanny.py is not part of jython. I would assume that porting python's tabnanny to jython must be hard, or the jython folks would have done it. I'll look in to this.
• Fixed the problem of '5 + 5' not printing '10'
• Now returns our error messages instead of default ones
• Added preprocessing code to the load command.
• New file JESPreprocessing.py, where the preprocessing code will be stored

• Updated JESCommandWindow so it accepts all multiline commands (as far as I can tell) and performs cut, copy, paste, and undo functions.

27 June 2002

• Fixed editor so that it doesn't do word wrapping anymore.
• Updated GUI so that it shows the current row and column that the cursor is on in the editor window.
• Minor code cleanup in JESUI class, removed todo comments that have been taken care of.

26 June 2002

• JESCommandWindow updated, accepting single line and multiline commands and formatting them into a string for JESInterpreter.

23 June 2002

• Updated JESEditor with code to highlight syntax.
• Added a new class, JESEditorDocument to help out with syntax highlighting.
• Added undo functionality to editor.
• Added error line highlighting to editor window

• JESInterpreter does everything but displaying the good error messages. And it dosen't do any kind of tab checking on the loaded user's code. I don't know what we wanted.

1. Filter out variables that don't have __class__ attributes and
2. Display more understandable names for the class field.

21 June 2002

• JESCommandWindow updated. I had to add an action class to define the keymap. The command window is reading in text every time the newline character is entered, but does not yet process the input.

20 June 2002

• I've finished part of JESInterperter. It does not return the "clean" error messages.
• We didn't discuss this, but I don't like having more that one class per file. I've added the JESThread class, which handles the execution of the user's code in its own thread, and JESOutputBuffer. Jython allows us to overwrite standard output. I do this (temporarily) to capture the user's output from JESThread. JESOutputBuffer is the class where that happens.

20 June 2002

• JESProgram updated with opening and saving functions, file opening and closing is bugged.

17 June 2002

• JESUI updated with comments and promptSave code.
