Interactive Python console/shell for Kodi.
Sometimes when I was developing Kodi addons I needed to quickly test some small code snippets, before using it.
Usually I had to use xbmc.log() function or write some small dummy addons for debugging.
But that all was very inconvenient, especially considering that one of the remarkable Python features is built-in interactive interpreter (or shell, or console).
I really missed it in Kodi. So, I decided to write one!..
Now, please welcome Konsodi - interactive Python console/shell. Hope it will be useful for someone.
Interface of Konsodi is very familiar and simple. Just text field for command input, "Run" button, and the textbox with the results.
You can:
- Enter command in the appropriate field;
- Run it - using special onscreen button or pressing Enter twice (I know it would be more usual to press Enter only one time, but I didn't want to break standard Kodi features, though I could);
- See the results (good or not :-)) in the history textbox;
- Scroll the results using mouse wheel or fancy buttons;
- Move through command history using Up and Down keys.
And that's it.
So, have fun! Wish you a pleasant debugging and new awesome addons!
Bugreports/remarks/suggestions are welcome.
Great thanks to @romanvm for his wonderful pyxbmct framework.
