PyCon Nugget: shpy

Posted: March 28th, 2005 | Author: Matt Croydon | Filed under: Python | 6 Comments »

One of the lightning talks from day 2 of PyCon that wowed me the most was the demo of shpy. I was really bummed when I tried to hop online just to find out that codespeak was down, but the site is back up now.

Shpy is like a poor man’s (read: non-Mac) SubEthaEdit. The analogy isn’t exact though. Shpy is really a text editor designed for writing Python code that can be edited by multiple people simultaneously with no noticeable lag for each end user. The document is kept in sync on a line-by-line basis so that you only run in to problems when mutliple people are editing the same line at once, which isn’t as rare an occurance as you might think.

The fun doesn’t stop there though. Shpy also allows for the execution of Python code from within the editor, hence the name. I was really impressed and can’t wait to give it a go. It might even get interesting if I combine shpy with screen over ssh to keep a todo.txt (er todo.py) always (or just a ssh session away anyway) available.

For more information, check out the shpy documentation.
