# CodeHelper applet :)
# what:
# is a popover view that presents buttons you have described in data below that basically copies text to the clipboard. a gloried copy routine. but before you decide, look at the examples below. a lot can be done. 

# settings:
#	1. _btns_per_line, the number of btns you want displayed on a single row/line
# 2. _btn_w, _btn_h. the width and height of the buttons. The popup view, will determine its frame from these vars.

#3._btns, is a dict. {btn title:varible}
# so an entry in _btns like 'email':'me@gmail.com' will add a button called 'email', when clicked will copy me@gmail.com, to the clipboard. if you write a varible that is the result str of a function, you get the expected results on the clipboard. only cavet is in the order you do this. ..... can go on and on.... 

#usage:
# To use this code, you should put in a .py file and then add the .py to 'Actions Menu' in pythonista.

# Notes:
# by the virtue of pythons flexibility, this simple applet can do a lot. i did some simple and stupid examples. only to give an idea to what is possible

# Excuses:
# sorry, the file is a bit of a mess. but is because the data is in the same file as the code. The data and the data functions, should be put into another .py file and imported into this file.

The Zen of Python
    Beautiful is better than ugly.
    Explicit is better than implicit.
    Simple is better than complex.
    Complex is better than complicated.
    Flat is better than nested.
    Sparse is better than dense.
    Readability counts.
    Special cases aren't special enough to break the rules.
    Although practicality beats purity.
    Errors should never pass silently.
    Unless explicitly silenced.
    In the face of ambiguity, refuse the temptation to guess.
    There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.
    Although that way may not be obvious at first unless you're Dutch.
    Now is better than never.
    Although never is often better than *right* now.
    If the implementation is hard to explain, it's a bad idea.
    If the implementation is easy to explain, it may be a good idea.
    Namespaces are one honking great idea -- let's do more of those!
