[GRASS-user] grass-python editing using Wing-IDE

GRASS GRASS user
1

Dear all,

I would like to know if is there anyone using
WingIDE python editor to write python grass scripting.

I am using WingIDE under windows, but grass.scripting lib methods not autocomplete, and the help of grass.scripting not appears on WingIDE as for other libs of python.

best wishes

I myself use Spyder editor and I am pretty happy with it. It’s for Windows, too. I’m not sure why your editor does not autocomplete but make sure you are importing scripting library correctly. For example I import it like this:

from grass.script import core as gcore

from grass.script import raster as grast

However, (for several reasons) grass.script is not installed to the system
(to the python installation), so you need to tell your IDE where to look
for the grass.scripting. One possibility is to set PYTHONPATH environmental
variable (which will then appear in sys.path in python) for the IDE:

http://www.wingware.com/doc/intro/tutorial-python-path

Maybe there is some settings even directly in the editor. The path should
be set to the directory where grass.script, i.e. something like:

C:\path\to\grass\etc\python\

The way which works the best for me, on Ubuntu with Spyder Python IDE, is
starting the editor from within the GRASS session (GRASS command line).
This ensures that the environment is set right and you not only have the
autocomplete and documentation but also that you can run your python GRASS
scripts in the IDE. In theory, this should work the same on MS Windows.

Dear Anna and Vaclav,

thanks a lot for your kind reply.

I tried to find grass.script to define de proper address where it is, or to copy this to my python/lib directory but I could’nt find.
I am using window 8.
Any hint are welcome.

Hi there

Just to keep the info, I found it, and now everything is working fine with autocomplete under Wingware.

I copied the folder “C:\Program Files (x86)\GRASS GIS 6.4.3RC2\etc\python\grass” to
“C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages”

Thanks again

Thanks for info. Just keep in mind that what you did is not a clean way,

Hi Vaclav,

Yes, the idea is just for script editing, but to run the script I will do within grass GUI.
I will also setup PYTHONPATH as you suggested

cheers
