The RDE is coming along well. Syntax highlighting came easily thanks to the StyledTextCtrl which is powered by the Scintila plugin. Code folding and highlighting are all included. It'll mostly be just a matter of getting a proper keyword list for the subset of Scheme that TPCL uses. The code for implementing the syntax highlighting and code folding was all readily available in the wxPython demo application and was easily adapted to the needs of the RDE.

The RDE now has the ability to create and open projects, but not yet the ability to delete projects. Almost all of the features are in place for a ruleset designing to input the components and properties of a ruleset into the app. Once the internals of the app are worked out I can get to work getting code generation to work, starting with the C++ server (since mithro has so kindly offered to do code generation for the python server, woot)

I also poked around with XRC...and I have to say, mithro was right that it's pretty awesome. In about five minutes I was able to duplicate the current layout of the ComponentPanel with far less frustration than coding by hand.
