TODO comments in NetBeans 6.9 Python

Question

How do I add a TODO comment in NetBeans 6.9 Python?

I have taken a look under Tools > Options > Miscellaneous > Tasks

However, when I add a comment to my source code:

# TODO This won't appear in the Tasks panel

TODO actually turns a different color, but the comment doesn't show up in my Tasks panel. Is there a way to fix this?

Answer 1

this seems to be a known bug in netbeans . Some of the people commenting on the bug point to a Netbeans plugin to solve this.

Answer 2

go back into tools->options->miscellaneous->tasks and uncheck "show todos from comments only". this seems to fix the issue for php on Netbeans 7.0.1. It may also work on 6.9 for python if the option exists in that version. Hope that is helpful.

Answer 3

For Java project the task window works correctly. But for C++ (in my case) it doesn't work. (NetBeans 7.0.1). I think that feature is only for Java.
