Thonny - Python IDE for beginners (pip install thonnyapp)
Press CTRL+F5 to run in deubgger mode and then press F7 to monitor step by step evaluation of each line of code and value changing during program.
For normal execution press F5
Features
Easy to get started. Thonny comes with Python 3.7 built in, so just one simple installer is needed and you're ready to learn programming. (You can also use a separate Python installation, if necessary.) The initial user interface is stripped of all features that may distract beginners.
No-hassle variables. Once you're done with hello-worlds, select View → Variables and see
how your programs and shell commands affect Python variables.
Simple debugger. Just press Ctrl+F5 instead of F5 and you can run your programs step-by-step, no breakpoints needed. Press F6 for a big step and F7 for a small step. Steps follow program structure, not just code lines. Step through expression evaluation. If you use small steps, then you can even see how Python evaluates your expressions. You can think of this light-blue box as a piece of paper where Python replaces subexpressions with their values, piece-by-piece. Faithful representation of function calls. Stepping into a function call opens a new window with separate local variables table and code pointer. Good understanding of how function calls work is especially important for understanding recursion. |
To install Thonny with current Python installation:
type the following command at your cmd prompt
pip install thonnyapp
