Notepad++ for python development?

Question

Python

What needs to be done to comfortably use Notepad++ for Python development?
What plugins and settings are needed for this?

Answer 1

Paycharm is heavy, yes. There is a lightweight Geany editor for one-time scripts, just try it, you might like it :)

Answer 2

Download PyCharm
if you are developing something more serious than "Hello World"

Answer 3

I advise you to stop using Notepad++ already. The project was good, but it is outdated. In its place came Sublime Text 3. It can do everything that Notepad++ could and can already do more. It has a huge plugin base and is evolving in 7 mile steps. In addition, plugins for it are written in Python.

Answer 4

I don't understand people who use Notepad++ for development. Take at least Sublime on the Internet there is a lot of information on how to set it up for Python development, well, or even better, take Pycharm right away, there is also a free version.

Answer 5

Thanks, but I'm more interested in what plugins and settings are needed for this in Notepad ++

It's well written here: Let's Use a Better Python Editor

Answer 6

pyScripter for Windows is not bad.
notepad++ is good for short scripts, nothing more.

Answer 7

Why not Spyder? - https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases
Lightweight, syntax highlighting is quite powerful.

Answer 8

Go to Plugins → Plugin Manager → Show Plugin Manager. Choose:
1. PyNPP - launch in various modes. There are hot buttons.
2. Python Indent - indents where necessary. Do not forget to check the Enable box in the same place in the list of plugins.
This is my minimalist gentleman's set for today.
