Python interpreter test drive (prototype)

EDIT: This was the earliest release of the component. Now you can find the new more updated version here.

Hi all,

I've read this thread started by Benjamin and it made me look into integrating the new Rhino V5 Python interpreter into a Grasshopper component. After a couple attempts, it seems now to work well in V5. If you are eager to try again the Python syntax in Grasshopper, this should be useful.

This component will still need to be significantly improved with respect to features and performance, especially variable non-textual inputs, syntax editor and highlighting and parse-time error notifications would come in handy.

To install (the usual way), in Grasshopper 0.7:

download ~~TestPython.gha~~
copy it to C:\Program Files\Rhinoceros 4.0\Plug-ins\Grasshopper\Components\
right-click the file, then chose "Unblock" inside the properties dialog
start Rhino v5 and load Grasshopper
for a simple example, you can try the definition above

I am also attaching the source code (in C#, TestPython.7z), in case you feel like having a look.

Hi Giulio,

Is it possible to attach a enable/disable toggle so when the component becomes active it runs the script as if it were run by the PythonEditor through GH classes, so you select geometry and any other parameter within rhino. Just an idea

My C# knowledge is not up to the job I'm afraid!

Cheers

Evert

This would be a nice addition. I'll see what I can do about it. Also, there are some additions to the PythonScript class by Steve in the upcoming Rhino v5 release that should allow a better support of RhinoScript.

Steve is adding some additional possibilities to RhinoScript/Python, so it should be possible to have additional features soon.

Steve and I have been working on a new version for this component.

There is a discussion on this forum, a description on the Python forum and this is the page to download from.

Here are the main changes from this previous version:

Modifiable number of input and output variables
List and tree support
Editor with autocompletion on double-click
Support of the rhinoscriptsyntax, both to modify the Rhino document and to use in Grasshopper
