Download and Installation
PyNSource is free and open source.
PyNSource is now also available from SourceForge
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyidea/
Version 1.4c -
Nov 1 2006 - Latest release
 | Download and run the standalone PyNSourceGui.exe installer
(2.9 Meg) which will
install everything in one single directory for you and create the usual windows shortcut icons so
that you can launch the program . Everything is supplied and built
into this easy to use installation. However the GUI does not yet
support the generation of java and Delphi source files. |
or if you aren't using windows, or want the python source code plus all the
power of the command line tool (including python to java code generation)
 | Download the zipfile pynsource.zip
(latest release is 1.4c) and type the usual python setup.py install
from the command line to install or |
for windows users who want the source code:
All files are supplied and installed into a python package, which is a single folder that is installed
typically, into the directory e.g. \Python22\Lib\site-packages\pynsource
WxPython dependencies
 | As well as installing wxPython you may need the ogl extensions to wxPython
(or just run the standalone Gui and you don't have to install anything!). |
 | PyNSource should run under both
wxWindows 2.4 and 2.5.
Only 1.4b onwards supports wxpython 2.5
|
 | If you want to
run under wxPython 2.6 and 2.7 you will need a slightly different version of
just the GUI module pyNsourceGui.py
pyNsourceGui1.4c-wx26.zip. |
To Run it
The PyNSource Gui is started in two ways:
 | By running the standalone pynsourceGui.exe via the shortcut created
by the gui
standalone installer. or |
 | By running pynsourceGui.py directly from
source code (under windows, linux or mac) you need wxpython installed. See
http://www.wxpython.org )
e.g. \Python23\python.exe \Python23\Lib\site-packages\pynsource\pyNsourceGui.py |
The PyNSource command line tool is pynsource.py
Examples of usage can be found here.

Release History
Version 1.4c - Nov 2006
- Fixed some parsing bugs.

Version 1.4a - July 2004
Important GUI changes:
 | Right Click on a node to delete it. |
 | Run Layout anytime from menu. |
 | Left click on background will deselect any selected shapes |
Version 1.4 - July 2004
 | Fixed indentation error causing more output than normal in text ouput |
 | Module level functions not treated as classes any more |
 | Smarter detection of composition relationships, as long as classname
and variable name are the same (ignoring case) then PyNSource will detect e.g.
class Cat:
pass
class A:
def __init__(self, cat):
self.cats.append(Cat()) # always has worked, composition detected.
self.cats.append(cat)
# new 1.4 feature, composition detected here too (instance of cat rather
than creating a new Cat).
|
1.3a Mar 2003
 | Fixed bug in Print / Print Preview so that only print one page of diagram,
not two. |
1.3 Mar 2003
 | Delphi output (.pas files) |
 | GUI front end allowing you to import python code directly into a UML
diagram. |
 | GUI front end Print and Print Preview support
|
1.2 - Feb 2004
 | Fixed bug where local variables were sometimes interpreted as static class
variables
|
1.1 - Second release - Feb 2004
 | Improved Java export so that exported java files can be compiled
successfully. |
 | Python variables are exported as type 'variant' which is an invented java
type. |
 | Java keywords are now never generated and instead an _ is prepended to any
python attribute name which would have become a java keyword. |
 | Improved source scanning so that built in functions like eval() and
abs() etc. are not treated as composite classes references in cases like
self.myval = eval(blah) where eval might have been interpreted as us trying
to create an instance of a class eval. Fixed. |
1.0 - Aug 2003
 | Initial release. |
