      I need to pass integer argument to the Python script I run… Does it make sense to use this wrapper or is it … overkill because there is an easier way…?

      It sounds like it would be overkill, but only you can judge that.

      About the simplest way to achieve what you are asking for is:

      z = notepad.prompt('prompt text:', 'title bar of window', '')
      if z is not None:
          z = int(z)
          print(z)
      

      which will give you a (no frills) window to enter your integer into:

        Works perfectly. Much appreciated.

          @Ekopalypse ,

          After reading this post, I wanted to try out @Michael-Vincent’s translation script.

          So I went to my portable that has PythonScript 3.0.17 installed, and tried to install based on the README instructions and tried to run the first example there. I get

          Python 3.12.1 (tags/v3.12.1:2305ca5, Dec  7 2023, 22:03:25) [MSC v.1937 64 bit (AMD64)]
          Initialisation took 406ms
          Ready.
          Traceback (most recent call last):
            File "C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp862.ps3\plugins\Config\PythonScript\scripts\windlg_ex1.py", line 1, in <module>
              from WinDialog import Dialog, Button, create_dialog_from_rc
          ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'WinDialog'
          

          In following the instructions, I put the WinDialog folder in the user directory ...plugins\Config\PythonScript\lib, as instructed. I can verify it’s there:

          > cd plugins
          > dir
           Directory of C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp862.ps3\plugins

          If I move WinDialog from the user directory to the machine directory (C:\usr\local\apps\npp\npp862.ps3\plugins\PythonScript\lib), then the script can see WinDialog and it loads and runs fine.

          Is there some magic that needs to go in the startup.py to make PS3 see the user-lib directory for a portable installation?

            PythonScript 3.0.17

            That’s “most likely” the problem. See here:

            https://github.com/bruderstein/PythonScript/issues/322

            I have stayed on 3.0.16 because of this and until this gets fixed.

            Cheers.

              Okay, switching to 8.6.4 portable with 3.0.16, I can get it to work using the user-lib instead of machine-lib. Thanks.

              update: moved remainder of this post to the other Topic, since it’s translate.py specific, and this Dialog-wrapper Topic is already pretty full…

                @Michael-Vincent You can add paths to sys.path if want to use PythonScript version 3.0.17.0.

                This is what I have been using in startup.py .

                # Fix for sys.path bug in 3.0.17
                if notepad.getPluginVersion() in ('3.0.17.0',):
                    sys.path.append(notepad.getPluginConfigDir() + r'\PythonScript\lib')
                

                It is a workaround until a fixed version is released.

                  Afraid it’s not that easy for me. I’ve added all my missing directories to make it “on par” with the previous version, but I still get a ImportError that I do not get in the previous version:

                  ImportError: DLL load failed while importing win32gui: The specified module could not be found.
                  

                  Rest assured, the module is installed correctly. I can import it from my system Python and from PythonScript 3.0.17 commit right before the commit that breaks the path that I note in my issue. I’ve tried adding the specific directories to both sys.path and os.environ["PATH"] as described in https://github.com/mhammond/pywin32/issues/1730 and other Google results.

                  Cheers.

                    @mpheath points out it is indeed “that easy” if you know what you are doing and thank you @mpheath for showing me what to do:

                          Hello, could someone show me how to download and install this translation plugin on notepad++, as I have a lot of things to translate and word translation doesn’t work as it should.

                            @Bruno-Bonaspetti ,

                            Have a little patience. You already asked that question yesterday here. This is not paid support that is guaranteed to get a reply in 5 minutes or your money back; this is a Community of fellow users of Notepad++, and as such, any who read here regularly and answer questions do so solely on their free time, and they might not always have time to answer a specific question – especially one that might take more knowledge of a specific sub-tool of Notepad++.

                            Furthermore, this topic, “Little Dialog-wrapper for PythonScript” is focused on the Dialog Wrapper library for the PythonScript plugin; it briefly mentioned a script that was using that wrapper to help with the user interface, but the translation is not the focus of this discussion.

                            Your original question was in the right place. This question was not. I will try to give a brief answer in the other topic.
