code_manager.py file

[kylebarron]

This file should have a class that accepts an unmodified input string and returns a list of run-able code blocks. In general each item of the list should be a single line of Stata code, except when that line of Stata code would not return to a dot prompt.

class CodeManager(object):
    def __init__(self, code):
        self.input = code
        self.tokens = self.tokenize_code()

    def tokenize_code(self):
        # Do tokenizing with Pygments
        # Return a list of tokens

    def is_complete(self):
        # Analyze tokens
        # Determine if all of input is complete.
        # Return simple True/False

    def completions(self, cursor_pos):
        # Unclear whether it's necessary to tokenize the code for this.
        # Return dict with correct Jupyter message

    def tokens_to_lines():
        # Form logical code chunks from tokens
        # This should also remove comments
        # Returns a list of code chunks that are safe to run in the console

Keep in mind a way to retrieve locals / return despite running cap log close

Probably ideal to try to get a local/return value through Automation before closing the log.
