Python plugins for juCi++

Requirements

• python>=3.5
• pygobject-3.0

Also you need the python package gi-introspection

How plugins work

Loading

Plugins resided in the plugin directory will be loaded automatically.

Init

Plugins will not initialize unless explicitly told in the plugin-file. Usually with a call to a init function at the bottom of the file.

Menu elements and keybindings to actions

Read the gtk documentation and see examples in the snippet and tools plugins in this repo.

Programming python in juCi++

JuCi++ will parse and try to reload the plugin on every save while working in the plugin-directory.

Developing outside of juCi++

The module jucipp which contains the api is only available to python if loaded through juCi++. This is because the api is an internal type of the juCi++ executable.

Configuration

The plugin feature has two options in config.json to configure various paths

"python": {
    "site_packages": "<path>",
    "plugin_directory": "<path>"
}

Try it!

cd ~/.juci/
rm plugins
git clone https://github.com/zalox/jucipp-plugins plugins
