[Python-Dev] Adding Wing 4 project to (original) (raw)

Hello all,

There is a Wing IDE [1] project file in Misc/ which I use for working on Python. The project file is 'python-wing.wpr'.

Wing 4 is now in beta and I have switched to using it. Wing 4 uses an updated, backwards incompatible, project file format. I would like to add a Wing 4 project file to Misc, called 'python-wing4.wpr' to all the branches I work on (likely py3k, python27-maint and python31-maint).

Any objections to this?

Once Wing 4 is out of beta there are several options. Major version updates to Wing are infrequent, so the options are listed in my order of preference:

  1. rename the old file 'python-wing3.wpr' and rename 'python-wing4.wpr' to 'python-wing.wpr'
  2. delete the wing 3 project file altogether and rename 'python-wing4.wpr' to 'python-wing.wpr'
  3. stay with versioned project file names and rename 'python-wing.wpr' to 'python-wing3.wpr'

(Option 3 could be done immediately of course.)

All the best,

Michael Foord
