#ThonnyIDE 5.0.0 is out!
It comes with #Python 3.14 :)

You can get it from https://thonny.org

I'm investigating the compatibility with the thonny-py5mode plug-in and so far it seems to work fine. https://github.com/py5coding/thonny-py5mode/discussions/95

Thonny, Python IDE for beginners

Cheers to all #Python #CreativeCoding people here using #Linux...

Would you like to test a script by our friend and co-maintainer of thonny-py5mode GoToLoop that installs #ThonnyIDE and #py5 on your machine to see how it goes and help improve it?

I wonder if it would be bad form to ask students to run something like this:

curl -fsSL https://Gist.GitHubUserContent.com/GoToLoop/246a31d437aaa8c6eadb7f7186544e0f/raw/thonny-installer.bash -o thonny-installer.bash && chmod +x thonny-installer.bash && ./thonny-installer.bash

(because, you know, it trains them to run potentially dangerous stuff in other occasions)

I love using #ThonnyIDE, and, on Linux, I can use !pip install, !jupyter lab, and !py5-live-coding mysketch.py on the interactive shell console, I wish this would work on Windows too :(

Could `!pip` and other `!` commands work on the shell console on Windows? It works on Linux. ยท thonny thonny ยท Discussion #3736

It is very handy to be able to use ! commands on the >>> interactive shell console when I use Thonny on Linux. Sometimes I use it for installing things and I even use !jupyter lab to quickly open a...

@ukscone for beginners, I recommend #ThonnyIDE, which comes with most Raspberry Pi distros and has its own env and offers an easy GUI to make more envs!
@negative12dollarbill @Dendrobatus_Azureus Mu is great, but I believe the project is going to be sunset. Another great IDE for beginners learning #Python is #ThonnyIDE https://thonny.org I use to teach "Drawing with Python and #py5" (It also has support for #MicroPython)
Thonny, Python IDE for beginners

@nrennie very nice article! I'm a fan of #ThonnyIDE and I help maintain a plug-in that makes using #py5 easier on Thonny. #FLOSS #CreativeCoding
@driscollis #ThonnyIDE is great for teaching! it comes with a Python interpreter, I use it with a special plug-in that helps with #py5

I'm afraid I botched the previous release of my #ThonnyIDE + #py5 portable bundle for Windows users, by somehow using an outdated py5 package
:(((

I think I fixed it now:

Hi, dear people on #WIndows, can you check form me if on #ThonnyIDE you can do !jupyter lab on the interactive console down on Thonny's window? It works on Linux! (you have to have #JupyterLab installed)

I can check this tomorrow but I was surprised... (I was trying %run a few months ago and it didn't work) now I hope I can try #py5's live coding feature launching it from Thonny like this also...
