When trying to create a Django project on Windows, I get:

Expected django-admin does not exist: v:\bin\scripting\python\3.9.5\python-3.9.5.amd64\django-admin

I have a portable Python installation (winpython) which places the various package-specific executables/scripts under v:\bin\scripting\python\3.9.5\python-3.9.5.amd64\Scripts, also django-admin (seems to be standard to me). Up to now it was sufficient to include this directory in the path. But this does not work with Wings Django project setup.

2021-08-02 09:13:19 -0500 marked best answer Package Manager

Is the new package manager able to notify the user about new package versions? I mean, we have 'update' but cannot see beforehand, what we possibly should update... This is the only reason, I am still using Visual Studios Python package manager on Windows.

BTW: Why do I get a pre-filled dialog now (question, details and all - presumably from an old topic), when I'm hitting "Ask Your Question" here in the forum?

2021-01-12 12:49:59 -0500 marked best answer Tracking variable references in f-strings

I filed a bug report yet, but because it might be of interests for others too (and I've been bitten again), I would like emphasize the issue here again:

I'm using f-strings more and more. Up to now, Wing is not able to track variables in a comprehensive way, if they are used inside f-strings. This affects all tools: "Find Points of use", refactorings (renames!) etc.. The syntax highliter OTH 'sees' variables in f-strings (but of course also functions of them there only as a single entity). But perhaps this could be utilized for complete detection of this references. In my opinion, a solution of the problem is quite important for any non-trivial (yet by scope alone) refactoring usage.

Is it possible to configure the mouses (double-)click event so, that it can favour an external viewer? I have some .ui files in my project, and while I can open these - once in the context menu - with the keyboard shortcut in Qt Designer, I would prefer to do so immediately (and even better reuse an already opened designer, but this is optional).

2020-06-15 14:39:56 -0500 marked best answer Reformatting all files in a project

Could this be provided as a convenience function? I'm using black, and sometimes I receive projects with horrible formatting. Because Wing knows which sources belong to the project, an internal solution is often preferable compared to some script, rewriting anything in his scope. At this moment I'm not sure if the Wing API provides the relevant information, but the particular function has IMO enough value to justify a standard interface in the main application.

This should certainly only be available as mostly one-time deliberate manual step for initial formatting, though. Perhaps with some confirmation dialog or a non-standard command to be explicitly bound.

2020-04-15 10:07:37 -0500 marked best answer Code Zooming

Recently, I turned on code zooming. Is there a way to reason immediately about the current zoom level? Something like the zoom button in a browser, I haven't found anything in the whole UI. Edit->Zoom let me at least reset the default level but is also a step too far away IMO for interactivity.
