I have checked in changes to the
PythonCardPrototype\components\codeeditor.py module, aka the CodeEditor
component. The changes add code folding to the component which in turn shows
up in the codeEditor tool, samples launcher, and webserver sample and any
other PythonCard app that uses the CodeEditor component. I essentially did a
copy and paste of the code from the wxPython demo file:

wxPython\demo\wxStyledTextCtrl_2.py

and I marked the additions in codeditor.py with:

        # KEA 2002-12-16
        # code folding code taken from
        # wxStyledTextCtrl_2.py

There doesn't seem to be any problems, but if you are updating from cvs, you
may want to make a backup of the components\codeeditor.py module before
doing an update, so you can fall back to the previous version if needed.
Also, I think some of the constants from the wxPython.stc module may only be
available in wxPython 2.3.3.1 or later; remember release 0.7 will require
wxPython 2.3.3.1 as a minimum.

Of course, I will appreciate testing and feedback from everyone.

The component really needs a way to toggle whether code folding and line
numbers are on or off, preferably via an attribute which can also go in the
.rsrc.py files and a way to clean up the margins as appropriate. I think by
default we probably don't want code folding on, but it is an option I want
to make available in the codeEditor View menu and a preference that can be
saved in the config. I'm sure Neil and/or Robin will be able to help me get
these options integrated this week (fingers crossed); it is probably just a
matter of a few method calls to wxSTC.
