You have to be using some type of IDE for development of portal. Just start thinking about portal as a multi-project IDE used by professional developers like yourselves ...
Editor
- Search and replace
- Colour coding local vs. global variables (to help avoid mistakes)
IDE
- Configurable "current project" directory
Default /My Documents/Portal/snappyImages is OK, but I work on a
network drive with a project structure
- Configurable multiple library directories
Source Code
- Configurable target platform (Portal always reverts to SNAPpy 2.2 at
startup.) This will become more important as you add new versions.
- Or allow metatags in the docstring or comment fields to configure the
IDE target platform.
# TARGET SNAPpy 2.1
