So, why another scripting plugin...
It uses python.
See reason 1.
It's lightweight, a 2MB download, it doesn't start up until it's needed (which normally takes about 0.2 seconds), and it doesn't start anything extra (like webservers... :)
Full access to all of Scintilla features, and access to respond to events
Did I mention it uses Python?
Interoperable from other plugins - call Python function from your own plugin
Very quick and easy to create a new script, and add it to the menu
Python is so easy to learn, you'll be writing scripts that save you hours in no time
Python's a great choice for a scripting language - it's very easy to learn, very easy to read and write, and can be object oriented (in fact, it has an excellent model), but doesn't need to be. A script that looks like
notepad.open("c:\autoexec.bat")
is just as valid as a full blown object oriented magic system that turns Notepad++ into a coffee-making spreadsheet application.
