update decisions after meeting with Walter
Line 47: Line 47:  
* Code in named stacks will be put into functions with the same name. Blocks appended to the 'start' block will be put into a function called <code>start()</code>. Unnamed stacks will also be put into extra functions with auto-generated names (e.g., <code>unnamed_stack_1()</code>).

* Run only the block stack that has a 'start' block at the top. If there is no 'start' block, notify the user, but don't execute unnamed stacks. (TA itself should show the same behavior.)

* Assume the generated code will be run in GNOME, but keep the <code>running_sugar</code> flag, so it can be ported to Sugar later.

** How to implement this? E.g., call a <code>wait(step_time)</code> function in between two steps?

* How to automatically determine the path to the TA installation (e.g., for finding the plugins)? ''deferred on 2013-06-14''

** Either: check a list of standard paths.

** Or: expect it to be in the <code>PYTHONPATH</code>.
 +
** Explain to the user what's wrong when the TA installation wasn't found.
 +
* Should the status bar be shown when the exported code is run?
