[PyQt] ANN: Preview of Python code editor widget - pure Python alternative to QScintilla

[Algis Kabaila]

Benoit,

I did download your editor to try it out.  I note that the matching 
bracket "(" is not added automatically, nor the space after a comma; 
not does it automatically add left spacing after a command that ends 
with ":", viz "for i in range(5):

 Perhaps it is because the program does not like me  :) When I try to 
run it, I get an error message:

execute
/bin/sh: /usr/bin/osso-xterm: not found
14

I must admit that I rather liked Henning's work - it does take care of 
the above "complaints"  of mine...

Good luck with your project.  I would urge you to study classes that 
Henning has in his modules - they are rather interesting.

Thank you for bringing your project to list's attention,

OldAl.
....

Perhaps you should give a list of prerequisites to run your program.
