The python developers best companion

Warning

This plugin allows any user with the correct permissions to execute potentially unsafe code, and has access to every bukkit API method, as well as the java and python standard libraries, with the same filesystem access permissions bukkit has. It is therefore inherently dangerous to use, as it enables you to irreversibly damage your bukkit installation. If you don't trust someone, or he doesn't know what he's doing, don't give him access to this plugin. Be thrice as careful if you use it on a live server.

Features

Execute arbitrary python code from console or ingame (handle with care!)
Execute saved python scripts (3 sample scripts included)
Save python code as macros, save macros to disc as scripts, bind macros/scripts to items to quickly execute them via rightclick
Interactive interpreter mode
SQLite database connector (requires sqlitejdbc) for testing, developing, or quick and dirty database administration
All executed python code executes in the same persistent namespace, so your declared variables will all stay in scope between statements. At the moment the namespace is shared between all users executing code via PyDevTools, so there is potential to annoy other developers if you are doing stuff at the same time :)

Dependencies

Python Loader up and running (tested with 0.3.2)
This modded Python Loader 0.3.2 jar, overwrite the original one (for information on what the mod does, see the Documentation)

Installation

extract archive to your /plugins folder

Usage

Available global variables

server: current server instance
bukkit: namespace org.bukkit
self: sender of the code to execute, ConsoleSender or Player instance
plugin: the PyDevTools plugin instance (which also has the database connector, accessible via plugin.db.connect("db_file_path.db"), plugin.db.sql(sql_statement), plugin.db.query(sql_statement), the latter returns a recordset
traceback,sys,random,os: already imported python modules
File: already imported java.io.File
