Re: call python code from UI

[Anatoly Asviyan <aanatoly gmail com>]

Hi
I've spent some time with gdb and fixed the problem. Now UI can call python actions.

Hope  the patch is ok and could be commited. What do you think?

Changelog:

1. fix to 'ui' service,to start/stop in the same way as working 'function group' service
2. UI example in py-func demo plugin. It adds 'Tools/Say hello' menu item that prints 'hello' in A1 cell

Patch:

The patch against gnumeric-1.12.7 is here
http://sourceforge.net/p/fborg/code/HEAD/tree/gnumeric/py-ui-fix.patch

Hi

I'm writing demo python plugin that adds  menu item to insert 'hello' into A1  cell

The function to change a spreadsheat is ok (see below) but I can't make UI to actually call it

and need help with that

Gnumeric version: 1.12.0

Plugin code: https://sourceforge.net/p/fborg/code/HEAD/tree/abc/

Details:

1. gnumeric's plugin manager shows new 'abc' plugin with 1 user interface action

2. there is new 'Say hello' menu item under 'Tools' menu

3. running the action from python console works
4. running same action from menu does not (seems that it just isn't called)

To run it from console

1. click on a 'say hello' menu item, that adds new interpreter

2. open python console, select 'abc' interpreter

3. run f_abc_action1(0,0) and see 'hello' in A1 cell
