| It's not a Python issue, it's a general API issue. And it's not an issue at all according to Nick:

The name is "bla" - you don't need to query it.

You can't rename triggers. The name is the key. Changing the name changes the key, effectively turning it into a different trigger. You need to delete it and re-add it, if that is what you want to do. See ExportXML and ImportXML. |

Thanks Nick!
The XML approach is very elegant - I like it. However, one issue I am concerned with is that, according to the document, *XML() functions' return values seem not convey as much information as the Add*/Set*/Get* functions.
Is that true? | | Top |

| If you're getting into tweaking trigger options at runtime, you might want to check out my Reflex library.

There are examples of how to use it there, as well as the source so you can save it to your MUSHclient/lua/ folder and use it yourself. |

Both return whether they worked or not, one way or another. That should be enough to confirm it succeeded. In any case, exporting a trigger should be in a format guaranteed to import OK afterwards. |

Yes. That looks like exactly what I'm doing in Python. I built a more "pythonic" interfaces for the trigger/alias/timer on top of mushclient's interfaces.
"Reflex" is one of the features - allows users to access mushclient items' options using dictrionaries:
Items are created by instantiating the corresponding python classes, and using python's *keyword* argument feature:
aTrig = Trigger("aPattern", name="bla", group="bla", script="some")
As I said, some more pythonic ways are also used, too. Like decorators:
@Trigger.decorate("aPattern", name="bla", group="bla")
def call_back_function(line, name, wildcards):
# do something
pass
The above piece of code defines a trigger and use "call_back_function" as the "script" option of that trigger. Very convenient.
There are some other things I'm building currently. Like Gammon's "wait" module (I was inspired by the other post about Python coroutines: http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=8277); Convenient logging utilities by which the normal stdout or other string streams can be directed to mushclient's notepads.
I may want to put those stuff on line so that others can test and use soon... | | Top |
