  6. 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?

    Gist.GitHubUserContent.com/GoT

    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)

  7. 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 :(

    github.com/thonny/thonny/discu

  8. @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!

  9. @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 thonny.org I use to teach "Drawing with Python and #py5" (It also has support for #MicroPython)

  10. @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

  11. @driscollis #ThonnyIDE is great for teaching! it comes with a Python interpreter, I use it with a special plug-in that helps with #py5

  12. 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...

  13. UPDATE OF THE UPDATE!

    Folks! I have updated my modified #ThonnyIDE #portable for #Windows with #py5 pre-installed, updating py5 to v.0.10.6a, which uses jpype 1.5.2 and I think will solve the nasty non-ASCII path issues, yay!

    Would someone on Windows like to help me test it?

  14. @DrunkenTortoise I like #ThonnyIDE, as it comes with its own Python env. And I use it with a py5 helper plug-in for my classes: abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta

  15. @villares the second bullet point is on my todo list and I'll attempt to start on that this summer. Can you elaborate on the first one? What would do with a Jupyter server?

  16. If I had the time and energy I would:

    • Make a #ThonnyIDE plug-in to launch #JupyterLab from the Thonny GUI interface (using Thonny's #Python #virtualenv;
    • Write some code to convert #geoDataFrames with a graphic attributes column into #py5 styled shapes;
    • Make a search interface to my daily sketch-a-day sketches and fix the RSS.
  17. @mauve this is a great tip! I would add that when I teach beginners that are not familiar with the command line, I recommend they try #ThonnyIDE thonny.org, a nice code editor for #Python that also provides a simple way of having isolated virtual environments where you can experiment and install stuff without fear of breaking your system.

  18. Updating my #Manjaro updated the system's #Python to 3.13, yay!

    It broke my #ThonnyIDE which was installed via #pipx, and I'm having torebuild a lot of stuff, not good!

  19. @rric oh boy, this is kind of sad news, Mu was great, and I'm an admirer of Nicholas Tolervey. Thank you for sharing the announcement link.

    For teachers looking for an alternative, Ive been using #ThonnyIDE (thonny.org), also targeted at beginners and with support for micropython/boards...

  20. Cheers #py5 friends!

    I have just updated my #ThonnyIDE portable bundle for Windows with Thonny 4.1.7. and py5, and the thonny-py5mode plug-in.

    There was kind of an emergency going on because recently (last week?) PyPI made some API changes and both the Package manager and plug-ins manager panels in Thonny broke!

    I'm grateful that Thonny's maintainer, Aivar, was quick to provide a fix (and I won't have to answer thousands of students desperate that they can't install the py5 plug-in or other stuff).

    I updated things at my "How to install py5" pages (PT, EN, ES) for all platforms (Mac, Windows and Linux): abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta

    And you can find the new portable bundle for Windows at: github.com/villares/thonny-por

    As usual, I appreciate everyone that supports me with encouragement, suggestions and donations!

  21. This is a bit worrying because it also breaks the users ability to install any plug-in on Thonny in all platforms :((

    Hopefully Aivar will find a workaround soon.

    UPDATE: github.com/thonny/thonny/relea
    seems to offer a fix. I'll have to update my portable!

  22. Changes in #PyPI to protect it from abuse from people using bots doing expensive searches broke an important feature of #ThonnyIDE (a GUI panel for installing packages) if you want to read more about it:
    github.com/thonny/thonny/issue and on #Python's forum: discuss.python.org/t/fastly-in

  23. Very disappointed that I had to install #tk in order to have #Python #tkinter working on #Manjaro (old man shouts at clouds here)
    sudo pacman -S tk

    Then I could pipx #ThonnyIDE yay... (is it a good idea? I don't know)

  24. Galera, como muitos lugares em que eu dou aula usam Windows, eu andei montando um pacotinho "portátil" usando o #ThonnyIDE portable, que já vem com #Python 3.10, e acrescentei a biblioteca de desenho que eu uso, #py5 e mais umas coisinhas como #shapely, #trimesh e #pymunk... se alguem quiser testar, atualizei hoje algumas coisas:

    github.com/villares/thonny-por

    Thonny e py5 rodam no MacOS e no GNU/Linux também. Pra quem quiser saber mais sobre o py5 (e essa dobradinha com o Thonny IDE) veja esta páginai: abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta (nessa página está um link para uma versão anterior do portable para Windows que pretendo trocar por essa que está em testes). #ProgramaçãoCriativa #Python #Processing

  25. 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-> github.com/villares/thonny-por

    Unzip it and double-click on the thonny.exe file. Tip: use 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

  30. Very slowly. this week, I want to make a new version of the zip package containing #ThonnyIDE 4.1.4 that comes with #Python 3.10 64-bits, and I'll add the latest version of #py5 and the recent version of the thonny-py5mode plug-in. I have to tweak the plug-in so it allows for moving the Thonny folder around and doesn't try to download the JDK again and again (I have to check how I did that).

  31. It looks like my "#Windows portable bundle" with #Python #ThonnyIDE and #py5 is working allright abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta

    I wish someone would like to make an #AppImage (I don't have the skills needed) and a #MacOS package (I have a set of instructions to follow but no Mac nor Apple signing keys)

  32. Hey friends, anyone with access to a Mac, minimal #MacOSdev skills (and a love of teaching #Python, perhaps?) would like to help me package a customized #ThonnyIDE that includes pre-installed #py5 & #pymunk?

    github.com/thonny/thonny/discu

  33. Something wrong with my #Python #ThonnyIDE the file dialogs became dreadful tkinter dialogs instead of the standard #Manjaro OS dialogs, I'm not sure what went wrong. OMG.

    Update: Mystery solved, installing #Zenity brought back better dialogs (I guess they never were the OS dialogs, but similarly nice.)

  34. I finished "rebuilding" by main computer's setup just in time for some great news... (almost rebuilding, I have some stuff yet to install and configure, but I have Thonny and py5 so it is usable!)
    #ThonnyIDE #Manjaro #py5 #CreativeCoding

  35. Cheers people, anyone into C++ #CPP would like to help both the #Python and #Java communities at once?

    I have this #jpype issue that affects many Portuguese-speaking users (and I bet, other international users) that have non-ascii chars in their folder names scattered through their OSs.... github.com/jpype-project/jpype

    This causes trouble for me personally because #py5 depends on jpype and my students have #ThonnyIDE frequently in a directory with non-ascii chars in its path, due to their usernames or on "Área de Trabalho" (desktop)... etc.

  36. Dear Fedi-friends, if you are on #Windows and like #Python or you'd like to learn Python, I have just updated my #portable #ThonnyIDE on a zip, that comes with #py5 and thonny-py5mode plug-in, for drawing wonderful stuff, and #pymunk for simulating #2DPhysics:

    If it doesn't work for you, or if you are on #MacOS or #Linux, you can follow the installation instructions at py5coding.org or maybe these at abav.lugaralgum.com/como-insta
