Marco in action about phoebusgen

Hi, yes that is a good idea. I'll work on adding a .macro method to ActionButton class. Thanks!

This should be fixed in 9c36c91

For now, actions are simply methods. So I added the macros option to the method. Eventually, it might make sense for an Action to be a class with its own methods so you don't have to define everything in the parameter list.

>>> from phoebusgen import widget as w
>>> a = w.ActionButton('test', 'test', 'test',0,0,0,0)
>>> a.action_open_display('main_bpm.bob','tab', macros={'BPM': 'BPMA'})
>>> a
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<widget type="action_button" version="2.0.0">
 <name>test</name>
 <x>0</x>
 <y>0</y>
 <width>0</width>
 <height>0</height>
 <pv_name>test</pv_name>
 <text>test</text>
 <actions>
   <action type="open_display">
     <description>Open Display</description>
     <macros>
       <BPM>BPMA</BPM>
     </macros>
     <file>main_bpm.bob</file>
     <target>tab</target>
   </action>
 </actions>
</widget>
