#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

Can you solve this puzzle? Would you like me to make more of these?

Hi people with access to computers with #Windows

I have put together a new zip file with the portable version of #ThonnyIDE + #py5 #shapely #trimesh and the #thonnypy5mode plugin pre-installed. I'd love to have some testers... it should work on most Windows 64-bit machines I think...

here-> https://github.com/villares/thonny-portable-with-py5/releases/download/2024-07-04/thonny-414-with-py5-windows-portable.zip

Unzip it and double-click on the thonny.exe file. Tip: use https://7-zip.org to unzip it, it is much faster than the native Windows extract tool.

If you are unfamiliar with py5, you could perhaps read this, which I will update with the new portable Thonny link at some point.

If you use other OSs, like MacOS or GNU/Linux, maybe you could help us make other student friendly bundles? DM me #CreativeCoding #ComputingEducation

Would anyone know of an offline #blockly-like editor for #Python, that is, something with blocks like #scratch, but to run programs on a normal local Python interpreter? #ComputingEducation

Update: It seems that #blockpy is based on #blockly, but the later is more well known, so I edited this toot to make it more "findable". Also, I asked a question at the blockly email forum, let's see if someone answers...
