Call out to an external editor (Python)

2014-09-01T18:26:51-07:00

Python recipe 578926 by Steven D'Aprano (editing, editor, external, text). Revision 2.

Here's a function that lets you use Python to wrap calls to an external editor. The editor can be an command line editor, like venerable old "ed", or something more powerful like nano, vim or emacs, and even GUI editors. After the editor quits, the text you typed in the editor is returned by the function.

A simple example, using the (rather cryptic) 'ed' editor on Linux. For the benefit of those unfamiliar with 'ed', I have annotated the editor session with comments.

>>> status, text = edit('ed')
0                        ## ed prints the initial number of lines
a                        ## start "append" mode
Hello World!
Goodbye now
.                        ## stop appending
w                        ## write the file to disk
25                       ## ed prints the number of bytes written
q                        ## quit ed and return to Python
>>> status
0
>>> print text
Hello World!
Goodbye now

You can set bookmarks in Komodo, for ease ni revisiting certain lines. This recipe lets you delete all the marked lines in the current buffer. This code is undoable, but the markers are gone for good. They aren't restored by Scintilla, and having Komodo restore them would be a pain.
