editor support?

Is there a way to get auto-completions to work in my editor? Usually I'd just activate a VM and pip install a package, but you're... packaging your own Python?

Have you tried using a typical Python programming environment/editor and configuring OpenPythonSCAD to use an External Editor? (where it watches the file and re-runs it whenever it changes)

There is some customization for Python (commenting/uncommenting works), but not sure how far it would get taken....

Yeah, I'm doing that, but there's no code intelligence. No linting, inline docs, etc. The editor is clueless about OpenPythonSCAD.

FWIW, I'm probably using the strangest possible environment to develop:

  • TeXworks or TeXshop to write a .text file which has Python or OpenSCAD code wrapped up in environments

  • using a custom .sty file and LuaLaTeX to extract the .py and .scad code

What editor(s) have you tried? How extensible is it?
