A very simple Python script interface was available in 0.46 (screen-shot attached).
In 0.47, someone tried to rewrite it in Java, but it caused issues and the whole feature had to be disabled.
Maybe the source code of the 0.46 or 0.47 version is still in the trunk, if you need to start from something.

first step Edit (8.4 KiB, text/plain)

@JazzyNico
Thank you! it is still there(ui/dialog/scriptdialog.cpp), I'll take a look.

@~suv
I agree, thank you for linking it!

So far, I was able to do the first step.

However, Inkscape crashes while removing an external script, if the svg wasn't saved to disk yet, so I still have to fix this.

My mentor gave the idea of implementing syntax highlighting.

In order to do that, I was thinking of using gtksourceviewmm. Is it possible(desirable) to add this lib to Inkscape? Should I keep working on the version without the lib, and then use some ifdefs and a "./configure" flag to choose between the two?

(I've tried including the lib, but I couldn't figure out where to add it in autotools)

It might be better to discuss this question on the 'inkscape-devel' mailing list, as well as any questions about how to best implement the configure option to test for the external dependency.

One idea would be to first check which versions of gtksourceview and gtksourceviewmm are shipped with various distros. Check against the base list at
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tracking_Dependencies#Distros

*If* it is common enough, then it might be a good idea. But checking will also allow us to know which versions we can count on and which versions need to be optional.

I think making this optional with ifdefs and a "./configure" flag is good.

This is already present in Inkscape 0.92.3 and probably earlier, so marking this as fixed.
