Enhancement for the browser #221

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
The browser often could not load page. This is the only IDE that have browser I 
expected.

Please make the browser component better.

Sorry, but the browser tool is deprecated. Maintaining a good browser is not 
the scope of IEP. If you want one, you can make one yourself based on QWebView.

Almar, it doesn't need to be good browser. But just working, is enough.

Your tools all the IDE is perfect, but for teaching beginner it would even
be perfect if got browser that connected to Python doc./manual.

Why not use Firefox/Chrome (or even internet explorer)? These are available on 
any PC.

What do you think is the specific use-case for a browser inside IEP?

That's different. You need to switch here and there from IDE to Browser. That's 
not a small different. Often, we end up playing around in Facebook, or twitter, 
or anywhere else the place we should focus on.

So far. The solution only is Eclipse. Eric being overkill complex. Eclipse 
okay, but need to install additional plugin (PyDev and the Web something 
plugin). And, Eclipse is slower.

In the other hand, the interface of IEP is so clear. Faster. Got the python 
interpreter right inside the window. Just missing 1. For intermediate/advance 
user, this feature might be nothing. But for beginner: they often go to web to 
consult. That's the python official documentation.

Adding a working browser might only satisfy our selfish need. But, it might 
helps those like us. :)

I mean... the python shell interpreter.

And the thing is that.... interpreter in Eclipse, is not interactive.

Our choice is actually only in IEP.

We are open waiting for this improvement, IEP.

I just find out the interpreter -hidden- window menu.

Would it be fair to say that the main use case is to browse Python 
documentation?

Original comment by almar.klein@gmail.com on 3 Apr 2013 at 9:35

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Yeah. That's actually the main goal.

Perhaps this should be formalized as a "documentation browser" tool then.

Original comment by almar.klein@gmail.com on 3 Apr 2013 at 9:48

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Yeah. 

Documentation browser. Will it exploring the python documentation? will it 
updated and synchronised? Because in our opinion it would be easier to 
implement a built-in simple browser.

Note that. In order to make the window available like one in attachment, there 
are multiple steps need to be taken, and it would certainly confused beginner.

IEP + Integrated browser (or integrated documentation) is really the 
dream-comes-true answer for our community. :)
