Python core's exceptions need to provide more info about editorconfig HOT 6 OPEN

Are you proposing this information be provided in the error string raised or as properties in the actual exceptions?

I agree that the strings raised could be more verbose. I don't think it's necessary to maintain these error properties in any way besides in a human-readable string though.

I think the syntax error file and error line is necessary. It could help users find where they got wrong. But we could put it aside if this causes too much trouble.

I mean properties, not in the string.

As a textmate plugin post has been made on gun.io, Do you think we should fix this? TextMate plugin may probably use the Python core according to #50.

BTW, should the Plugin How-To page be linked on the gun.io post?

If the plugin uses a library I believe it would need to use the C core because I don't think Python code can modify TextMate behavior. If no library is used then the Python core would work, but the exceptions wouldn't be used at that point. I may be misinterpreting the documentation I read about TextMate plugins though.

That being said, I still need to figure out how I want to handle passing this information. I want to find some examples of other well-written Python libraries that pass information via exceptions before making a concrete decision about this behavior.

No I don't think we should post the link there. It would probably be appropriate to post it on the TextMate issue or email thread. People looking to show support for a TextMate plugin will probably search for those threads/issues first.

You're right. TextMate should be written in Object-C: http://manual.macromates.com/en/appendix#plug-in_api
Thus C library should be used.

I believe it's easier to wrap C to ObjC instead of Python.
