Using Python in Far

134681 1. One that provides access to Far API from Python code and I don't know any sane way to call C++ from Python. At the moment at least my Python plugin uses cffi for Python to access C/C++. I like it as it moves most code to the Python side. I'll try to post my code shortly, I'll just have to...

[Solved]How to assign GUID to Info->PluginMenu.Guids

All your project is wasting time. If you will not try to figure out what you do. What?!, is this supposed to be some kind of encouragement. Where did I write that I wouldn't try to figure out what to do? I'm just trying to minimize wasting of limited resourses (My patience, motivation and my sanity...

[Solved]How to assign GUID to Info->PluginMenu.Guids

Sure it didn't, if you returned address of a local variable. As mentioned in PluginMenuItem description, all pointers passed through this structure must be valid after returning from GetPluginInfoW, so you can't use local variables. Use static or global ones. I think I'm starting to understand, tha...

How to assign GUID to Info->PluginMenu.Guids

So finally this crisis is over. :Yahoo!: When trying to define the GUID as an array I used this: GUID MenuId[1]; But it didn't work. But using this below: GUID *MenuId = new GUID[1]; This works. I assumed they would have more or less the same effect but what do I know. I'm convinced that the designe...

How to assign GUID to Info->PluginMenu.Guids

Checking the FAR API manual (after translation) it says "Info->PluginMenu.Guids" wants an "address of an array of GUIDs" unfortunately it didn't help me figure out how I need to define the variable. So still would like some hints.

How to assign GUID to Info->PluginMenu.Guids

Separate, OK especially considering this: 132941 please no more unrelated to Python suggestions As I'm doing the plugin in C++ I only meant I wasn't interested in doing plugins in other languages unless they helped me support Python. I could have probably worded it differently but frustration and h...

Trying to make a Python support plugin

So after reading the Internet twice and trying all kinds of stuff and not having any luck, I was about to give up. So I figured I would remove the duplicate declarations from crt.hpp that didn't work, just other errors. Then I tried to remove them from ctype.h and that worked, I was able to compile ...

Trying to make a Python support plugin

132940 132938 I didn't really like the syntax of LUA There's also another mature framework for creating Far plugins in a managed language: FarNet . It has rich infrastructure, many good examples and an active author. I know of it, but unless it supports Python I'm not interested at this time. so pl...

Trying to make a Python support plugin

132936 jonib , just in case you didn't hear about it: there is a framework for writing Far Manager plugins in Lua language. See %FARHOME%\Encyclopedia\luafar_manual.chm. Hmm, whats this , it's is you helping me convert a macro to LUA. :) Also, many tasks you may want to accomplish via plugins can b...

Trying to make a Python support plugin

132935 1. Add the following lines to makefile_gcc before the first "include" entry. Thanks, but that didn't help I get the same error still. Damn I'm starting to feel stupid when I can't even get the basic stuff to work. :? 2. Look for "-I $(COMMON)" in plugins\makefile_gcc_def_...

Build HelloWorld.cpp plugin

I don't think there are any guides, but feel free to ask anything. I guess I'll have to, even though its not my style. I posted a separate thread for the plugin I'm trying to make. To compile it as C rename HelloWorld.cpp to HelloWorld.c and change makefile_gcc appropriately. That didn't go too wel...

Trying to make a Python support plugin

So I am tired to wait for someone to add Python support for Far manager, so I'll try myself. I did some basic courses in C/C++ about 20 years ago and I really never liked to code in it. So I'm rusty/have no idea what I'm doing. So my first problem I tried to add the "Python.h" header to th...
