ghpython folding code blocks in code editor

In the C# and VB.NET scripting components, it is possible to include functions below the main script, in the editor, and to collapse these code blocks.

It would be really nice to have the ability to collapse blocks of code, so that one could include a large amount of additional functions or classes in a script without compromising readability. This offers an alternative to importing packages.

Newer versions of Rhino 5 have an improved code folding strategy. Just making a function should make the inner scope properly foldable. Does it help?

Thanks Giulio, this does help. My only other concern is that fold persistence: if I give someone a ghpython component with folded functions and they open it, will those functions remain folded? I'll test and let you know.

Hello Ben

it will not remain folded. Folding is usually just an editor help (.py files are simple text). And it does not stick in the _EditPythonScript editor, so it won't stick in the GhPython editor either, sorry. What should the next reader understand from the folding strategy?
