Unreal Python script editor

planning notes from before contributing to the tool

pyqt5¶

• we could reuse this PyQt5 widget:PyEdit2also on gist

plugin¶

setup the script editor as a unreal plugin

• auto install dependencies through pip.
  • installing dependencies can be done inside the plugin, similar to the plugget blender addon
  • Or we can use plugget or pip to handle the deps

tkinter¶

• we could use tkinter, which ships with in unreal.
• this page covers various basics & how to make a tkinter text editor
  

  import tkinter as tk
  window = tk.Tk()
  greeting = tk.Label(text="Hello, Tkinter")
  greeting.pack()
  window.mainloop()
  

  
  see tkinter in unreal gist

other¶

The script editor could be dcc independent. E.g. a generic qt widget
