Re: [gedit-list] Gedit Python Console plugin

["Zeth Green" <theology gmail com>]

Hello Everyone,

Well I have found a quite a bit since I last posted. I found out how
to do what I asked, namely how to execute a Python file in the Python
Console plugin, and why that is a really stupid thing to do, namely
because the aim of the plugin is to provide easy access to Gedit's
API, not to act execute arbitrary code.

So after crashing Gedit a million times, I decided to go for a new
approach, which was to write my own console plugin that runs as a
completely separate Python process, so like Fight club, what happens
in the console stays in the console, it will never crash Gedit.

It is working out well for me, if anyone else wants a go then in can
be found here:

Best Wishes,
Zeth
