Delphi, Python, delphivcl library - python

Is there any way to user autocomplete in embarcadero PyScripter or PyChamr?
I really want to write python scripts using the delphivlc library, but it's real hard when I can't use autocomplete.
And...
Do you people know why GUI interface stop responding when moving files using python?

Embed python as scripting language on my python application

I'm trying to make a python GUI application that handles some sort of data. Then I expect to make the user capable of manipulating that data using python scripts, form within the GUI, using a script interpreter with the data exposed as pre-existing objects. Pretty much like VBA is embedded in MSWord or the way you can embed python on a C application (see here).
Is there any technique or library to do this?
Has this been achieved in some project before?
One way to do it would be to write a GUI in PyQt, and then embed an iPython console inside the GUI as a GUI widget.
Check out this answer:
Embedding IPython Qt console in a PyQt application
and a couple other suggestions here:
https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/9508
A different non-PyQt approach is described here:

Generate and execute python both on non-python machine

Short version:
Is it possible to create a standalone program that can be distributed to computers that don't have python installed, which writes a python script during runtime and executes it during or shortly after?
Long version:
A project I've been wanting to do for a while is to create a visual programming interface, that lets people use Machine Learning without needing to know python/keras/numpy syntax. Programs like lobe or rapidminer already do this, but they are all bound to their own interfaces and servers. What i would like to do is create a program that:
anyone can use without needing python/anaconda installed
allow the user to create visual scripts like in scratch or google-blocs
generates python code behind the scenes containing keras or tf code
is able to execute the script
is able to show the code to the user for:
educational purposes
allowing the user to use it as a base for a more complex program
Since the generation part would just need to create a text file almost any interface and language like python/java using Qt or C# / javascript using Unity, would qualify. I think that should definitely be doable, probably just very long, but that is not my largest concern.
The problem:
I have tried to search everywhere on the internet about things like standalone python programs which led me to for instance py2exe. Those kind of python-to-exe's work great, but they all require the script to be compiled on a machine containing a python environment. In my case i want to be able to generate a python script on the user's PC, and run it directly after from there.
The alternative
If this isn't possible i might just create the whole AI part myself, not using python nor libraries like keras or tensorflow, but in a unity game for instance. The downside to this would be that it exists already(like rapidminer), it would be less optimized/versatile/customizable and doesn't show what the "real" machine learning script would look.
If there are any other alternatives i would be happy to hear them
PS.
I have mostly Python & Keras, moderate Java and little Unity3D or web JS experience
I'm using Windows with anaconda
Distributing to linux/mac would be nice, but not required
maybe you should check the Orange Data Mining software, it's written in python and it has the same purpose as your project (https://orange.biolab.si/). On the other hand, some time ago I tried to compile my app that contains machine learning libraries but to date, I have not been able to achieve it. Instead, what I use is the WINPYTHON project, this is a portable Anaconda software that allows you to run projects on any PC without the need to install anything (https://winpython.github.io/).
Yes, it is possible!
I had the same requirement, so I wrote my visual programming language and IDE...
...that could generate an almost python-like script, and which is compiled natively inside the app, without the use of any external compilers or libraries.
My target architecture was mobile devices, but it also works on browsers via the unity plugin.
...and yes, that's correct, it runs natively on your phone or tablet in a simulated sandbox, with its own built-in IDE.
It's written in C#, and implemented in Unity3d

Python custom GUI

I googled and search stackoverflow before asking this question
Answers that I don't expect:
wxWidgets is the best Python GUIUse TkInter (BIM) for GUI development.
Q. How to make a GUI without using any module/library? i.e make a GUI from scratch. Modules like tkinter not allowed.
I've made several GUIs from scratch using SDL which is a low level drawing library. The advantage of doing that is that it will look exactly the same on any platform down to the pixel and you can get it to work on embedded systems. Full screen GUIs are really easy too. Disadvantages are that it is a lot of work.
In python the pygame library wraps SDL so you would use that, and in fact that is how I made the GUI for a lab instrument which had a large colour LCD screen. The controller ran linux, but not X-windows.
pygame is an extra library, yes, but I can't think of a way of making a GUI with only what python provides.
The easiest GUI to make without "module/library" is a web-based one. I.e. generate HTML with Javascript from your Python code, and let the Javascript interact via AJAX with your Python app. This can be implemented without too much effort with just the standard Python library (and some JS code, of course), or with modules that don't require "heavy" installation of platform-specific extensions.

Embedding Python with basic IDE

My company has a C/C++ application developed using Visual Studio. Currently we have a Visual Basic plugin which lets you open a built-in text editor and run VB code. This built-in text editor gives the user all the basic debugging tools (break, watch, step...). I was wondering how could I do that using Python. The tricky part is that the python interpreter has to be launched from inside the main application, so that they have access to the same memory space.
I already have a swig interface for the application API and did a proof of concept VB script in which I loaded Python as a DLL and executed a script as described here. This works perfectly when I am sure the script has no bugs, but it would be much easier if I could have some sort of interface which I can debug the script being executed.
I had a look into the pdb module, but it dosent look like the way to go. If someone could just point me into the right direction it would be much appreciated.
I've had some luck embedding Spyder in a C/C++ program that I had created wrappers for (using PySide). Since the wrappers included the main application logic, I turned the program into a python application and then embedded Spyder using one of their examples.
However, it uses pdb or winpdb under the hood, so complete functionality is still not there IMHO.

Python: Desktop UI for my python script

Im new to python and want to create a GUI front-end (desktop, rather than web) for my python script. The script essentially parses XML files and runs various searches over the contents (eg. accepts regex searches from the user, returns results etc).
It works well on the command line but I want to present a more user friendly interface.
There seems to be a lot of options out there - http://docs.python.org/faq/gui.html
Or should I look elsewhere?
Can someone recommend a GUI toolkit for Python?
Cheers.
I recommend using one of Tkinter, wxPython or PyQt. They are all equally suitable for a simple task. My personal favorite is Tkinter because I think it is the simplest way to get started. However, any of those would make a fine choice.
Here is a page on the Python wiki with some fifty options.
PyQt is great, although it's on GPL. There is also PySide alternative on LGPL.
You can also try wxPython or PyGTK if you don't like Qt for some reason. There is also gui library in python standard library called Tkinter, but I haven't used it and don't have any experience with it.
