[Qgis-user] qgscodeeditorhtml (used in lizmap plugin) missing in ubuntu trusty qgis 2.14.3 package

[Daniel Vicente Lühr Sierra]

In case anyone is interested, I have made some few tests (with success) 
adding a fallback line into qgis.gui.__init__.py:

try:
     from qgis._gui import QgsCodeEditor
except:
     from CodeEditorPatch import *

CodeEditorPatch is a "pure-python" module which mimics the CodeEditor 
class (and derivatives) implementation as much as possible (there are 
two workarounds for some event handling issues which I haven't been able 
incorporate without errors, and there is some code regarding case 
sensitivity for the SQL editor, which apparently is not possible/needed 
to implement in python).

I think this patch is appealing, because it will provide a (temporal) 
centralized solution, without having to modify each plugin which decides 
to use these classes. Also, it will target two active ubuntu LTRs (12.04 
and 14.04) plus some debian and mint versions.

The moment the missing sip files in qscintilla issue is fixed, this 
patch can be removed.

If someone is interested in the module I can share the code, or I guess 
I could make a pull-request if some people think it is a good idea.

Regards,
