Automatic python module header

edit

Thanks for the answer but this is kind of confusing. """In Wing Pro the Snippets tool includes a 'file' snippet that can be edited to adjust to your local form. That should appear in the auto-completer so you can create a new file, type 'file' and select the completion, and get your standard header."""

First, if we are going to be precise, In Wing Pro the Snippets tool includes a 'file' snippet that can be edited to adjust to your local form - i kind of figured it out to go to .wingpro9/scripts and create a script in Python that could be used to inject a header. """That should appear in the auto-completer so you can create a new file, type 'file' and select the completion, and get your standard header. """ First auto-compreter does not exist! Ether is auto-completion or it does not exist! you can't type anywhere in the window and there is no reference to file or script or anything like that.

I think that you folks are assuming that I am experienced with wingpro, but I am not! I am very good with Python and I used for god knows how long PyCharm with which I am disappointed and want to switch. I am ok to learn, but honestly, I need to work on AI and ML and I cannot learn up and down IDE. Is it possible for anyone to give me a simple example that I can easily extend? I need to know how to wire any template Python or any template library to wherever and when I click on the new Python module an create file I have pre pre-populated header ...

let's see...

If I make my snippet look like this:

__author__ = "%(MYNAME||$(USERNAME))s"

I can't quite figure out where the MYNAME variable can be set...but if I default it to $(USERNAME) (after the double-pipe), I get the value of the USERNAME environment variable.

In Wing Pro the Snippets tool includes a 'file' snippet that can be edited to adjust to your local form. That should appear in the auto-completer so you can create a new file, type 'file' and select the completion, and get your standard header. Or you can right-click on the 'file' snippet in the Snippets tool and select Paste Into New File.

There are ways to fill in dates, the contents of environment variables, etc. The tool and snippets syntax is documented here:

Note that if you have more complex use cases, you could also write an extension script to do this to either paste in some text or create a new file with text already in it. Extension scripts are written in Python so are more flexible and powerful. Details on that are here:

Hello and happy 2024! Snippet's do work for Python headers with project-> ProjectProperties and env variables in key=value format

That works Now could someone explain how to add for example FileName variable to snippet to actually pick up a file name of just created python module that has applies file snippet.

Eample:

""" Project: %(project|string|$(PROJECT))s Coding: utf-8 Author: %(author|string|$(AUTHOR))s --<%(email||$(AUTHOREMAIL))s> FileName: %(@FileName) Purpose: %(@purpose|string(512))s Created: %(created|date)s """

wingpro does show that property option but when applied I get blank string or FileName FileName: %(@FileName)

maybe I am doing something wrong again? Thanks
