[Sugar-devel] Fwd: Mentor request for PyDebug Activity

[Benjamin M. Schwartz]

I'm very excited to hear about this project, and I hope you'll keep us
updated with your progress.  Anything that makes Sugar a better
"self-hosting" development environment is tremendously valuable for us.

IMHO, your best option is to use gtksourceview [1].  This is the GTK
source code editing widget that is used by gedit.  gtksourceview provides
syntax highlighting, line numbers, and undo/redo functionality.  You can
see it in use in Sugar in the Pippy source code [2].  Unlike gedit,
gtksourceview is guaranteed to be present in any Sugar installation.

Good luck!
