Is there a way to send python scripts from a text editor or an IDE directly to Slicer’s python? Copy and paste occasionally fails or creates weird issues (I am on remote connection). I am not a big fan of jupyter notebooks either.

I thought about various ways but in the end I like copy-paste the best. With current slicer it doesn’t become part of the command history and it stops after the first error so I haven’t had any trouble. What trouble do you have? Sometimes I also put a comment like this at the top of the a file an…

I have first have to login into a citrix server and then launch turbovnc to connect to our lab server interactively. Occasionally copy and paste functionality gets confused about what is being copied and pasted (local to remote, remote to remote, remote to local, local to local), and to get things b…

Jupyter notebook can be misused many ways, but it is the ideal tool for replacing copy-pasting of code snippets. It is much easier than carefully selecting text in an editor. If you want to run Python scripts from files then you can use the Ctrl-G shortcut in Slicer. First time you use it you selec…

I guess everyone can develop what works best for them and maybe we can add more hooks in Slicer to make things easier. I find copy-paste to be such a universally supported and useful feature that I’ve never felt the need to develop anything further. For example I’m frequently testing the same code…

I know mine is a corner case, but sometimes the copy/paste buffer gets confused very quickly and I have to reset sessions every few minutes. When I am working locally copy/paste is just fine, and yes the ability to reload the modules is also great. That’s what I was sort of wondering for python scr…

[image] muratmaga: is there a way to have jupiter notebooks to save things as at least mostly pyton + markdown, as opposed to JSON? JSON just makes interacting with the code on github much more difficult. Even though jupyter notebook (.pynb) file content is in json, most editors, including Gi…

[image] muratmaga: Is there any open-source, simple programming editor that can actually be incorporated to Slicer as an extension to facilitate that? I’m not sure about “simple” but at least you can run vim in Slicer with this wasm compiled version: >>> ww = slicer.qSlicerWebWidget() >>> ww…

THis is interesting, I will give it a try. Meanwhile, what I was thinking is that we already have a Texts module in Slicer. Would it be possible it to support code highlighting and indentations and have route the code the python console? [image]

Yes, that could work too. Interesting that this approach would save code snippets along with the scene, and that could be useful for sharing work, something like what people do with notebooks.
