The Color Selector incorporates Juliette Monsel's excellent tkColorPicker module. Thanks villares for inspiring me to develop this plug-in, hx2A for the awesome py5 project, and the Thonny folks for their fantastic IDE. Here are some useful py5 resources (alphabetically listed). It can do just about everything Processing can do, except with Python instead of Java code. It makes the Java Processing jars available to the CPython interpreter using JPype. Py5 is a new version of Processing for Python 3.8+. Note that module mode requires an import py5 and run_sketch() line, and py5. As an example, you can try this code: import py5 def setup (): py5.
#THONNY PYTHON PLUGINS CODE#
Visual Studio Code - Streamlined code editor with support for development operations. Atom IDE - The most extensible open-source IDE with thousands of packages and plugins. PyDev - Best cross-platform open-source plug-in for several frameworks.
To run a py5 module mode sketch, deactivate/uncheck py5 > Imported mode for py5 first so that Thonny returns to its normal run behaviour (for running any Python script). Spyder - Best free open-source IDE for the majority of platforms/browsers. NOTE: This mode also runs static mode sketches (when you don't need a draw() function for animation).Ĭlick the stop-sign (?) button in the Thonny toolbar to stop your sketch. Here is some code: def setup (): size ( 300, 200 ) rect_mode ( CENTER ) def draw (): rect ( mouse_x, mouse_y, 10, 10 ) Test out an imported mode sketch by clicking the green play button (or using the F5 or Ctrl+R keyboard shortcuts). When the py5 Imported mode for py5 option is checked, Thonny can run your py5 code. You can apply those settings in one simple step using py5 > Apply recommended py5 settings There are several Thonny settings that I recommend you apply for working with py5 (including a Processing 4 inspired theme, Kyanite). You'll be notified once this process completes. Thonny only needs to download JDK the first time you switch to imported mode. When you've restarted Thonny, select py5 > Imported mode for py5 -Ĭlick Proceed to download, extract, and set up JDK-17 (if you need to know: the plug-in installs JDK in the Thonny user-config directory). Instructions If you already have some version of Thonny that includes Python 3.8+ on your computer, you can skip straight to step 4.
#THONNY PYTHON PLUGINS INSTALL#
Then search for and install the thonny-py5mode plug-in - Thonny-py5mode is a plug-in that installs and configures Thonny for use with py5, a Python (3.8+) framework that leverages Processing's core libraries. If you already have some version of Thonny that includes Python 3.8+ on your computer, you can skip straight to step 4.ĭownload and install the Thonny 3.3.7 -alt version of the Thonny IDE (for Python 3.9 support) from /thonny/thonny/releases/tag/v3.3.7:
Thonny-py5mode is a plug-in that installs and configures Thonny for use with py5, a Python (3.8+) framework that leverages Processing's core libraries. Use the Thonny Python IDE as a Processing PDE alternative for creative coding.
