Something like this def x(self, strags = None): """class help text here and some more help text here""" When running the script, the command 'help x' will print the string. It will, however, print the ne...
I'm trying to create a script to compile an Windows Forms C# 2.0 project from the command line (I know, I know.. I'm reinventing the wheel.. again.. but if somebody knows the answer, I'd appreciate it).

I've just started experimenting something with Matlab, and since I'm used to Vim's interface, I try to stay out of Matlab's editor as much as possible. What's troubling me is that every time I start a .m file, it brings up the interface. Is there a way to start test.m from a cmd line, and let it give output out on a cmd, as it would nor...

That way, I am sure that all projects will rebuild everyhing (sometimes it's the only way to force visual studio to forget all about previous builds). Is there a quick way to accomplish this (with a bat file for example) without ha...
