4136	Python scripting for MCEdit – does it have a chance of merge?	psprint		"Hi,
I'm doing an effort of adding python scripting to MCEdit. I think that the editor is a very good one and with the scripting it could compete with Vim and other editors. However, after the Lua scripting hasn't been merged into the upstream I'm not sure if the Python script will be?

With the python script the editor with will be able to e.g.:
– configure the key bindings with a python snippets / functions run on the key press,
– configure sophisticated actions, like e.g.: multiple ones run on a single key press, to e.g.: run two rows up, and some columns left/right, etc.,
– configure the word completion that MCEdit has and also extend it with an LSP engine,
– etc., only the imagination will be a boundary…

I think that MCEdit is the missing chain in the world of *nix editors – it's not an (irritating…) modal editor though not as heavy and bloated as Emacs. With the python script added with a proper hooks connected to its C engine, it could flourish and shine.
