A simple single-file python2 plugin for Gnome Planner to supply an interactive context-aware Python console for Gnome Planner in GTK2.
This interactive console plugin runs as a contextual, interactive plugin for Gnome Planner. Install to planner resource folder "python" subfolder (create if missing) and access from "View" -> "Python Shell". It receives live objects (window, application) and the Python C extensions planner (libplanner bindings: Project, Task, Resource, Assignment, calendars, properties, load/save/export, scheduling hooks, GObject signals) and, if installed to Python 2.7 site-packages, plannerui (UI bindings: access to the main window, views, GtkUIManager/actions, selection, and other widgets), enabling you to inspect and modify the active project in real time (e.g., iterate tasks, create/update items, trigger recalculation, attach to signals, or add temporary UI actions) without leaving Planner. Settings (foreground/background, font size, history path) are persisted to planner-python-shell.ini under the Planner user config directory, and File -> Open File… executes helper scripts in the same live namespace. Limitations/notes: Python 2.7 and GTK2 only; API surface varies by build and OS (names/types may differ between MinGW64 and Linux); code runs on the main GUI thread (long operations will block - prefer small calls or gobject.idle_add/chunking); there’s no sandbox (mutations are immediate - work on a copy and save explicitly); ABI mismatches of planner/plannerui can cause import/runtime errors - install the exact binaries matching your Planner/GTK stack; for stability, wrap mutating ops in try/except, avoid tight loops, and keep history files on a writable local path.
