A way to make python console part of the perform window

Pleeeeeeeeeeasee!

Haha, just enough "e"s to get to 20 characters

hey @densi also see the hacks I posted in this thread, perhaps they can help you for now

Show TextPort in container UI

simple option: Press F4 to open Textport as a floating window. It will also work in perform mode. For a more advanced hack: you can redirect Python stdout and stderr to any DAT. Then you can use the Op Viewer TOP or COMP to convert that DAT into a texture and integrate it into your UI. See Rob’s example here: console in a texture? [ 099 component ] - #2 by rob And if you want to restore output to textport: sys.stdout = tdutils.outputcatcher.StdoutCatcher() sys.stderr = tdutils.outputcatcher.…

Thanks for your suggestions, unfortunately they don’t work really well for my particular use case

Are you looking for a console with a prompt where you can type python? We are working towards that with the Text COMP in the experimental branch, but there are still some major pieces to go so I’m not sure when that will be available.

I could probably get the text comp working as an output for python messages like the DATs in the example given if that makes it easier than using op viewers.

Ideally it would be nice to have exactly the functionality of textport available, because I’m used to operate my extensions through the console instead of clicking the parameters. But for that particular project that led to this post I just need to be able to easily get my python print statements in the ui without any extra scripting
