[Year 12 SofDev] Python

[Bucknell, Chris]

Hi Ben,

If you live in the M$ eco system (as I'm assuming as you said you've been doing VB.net) then you can install Python tools for visual studio (http://pytools.codeplex.com/ ) which is:

"PTVS is a free, open source plugin that turns Visual Studio into a Python IDE. PTVS supports CPython, IronPython, editing, browsing, Intellisense, mixed ... " (copied from Mr Google :))

So then you'll have a familiar IDE with all the goodies that visual studio gives you and accees to use Python.

Regards Chris

Hi List,

Just wondering what options I have for running Python on Windows 8? I'm looking into a change of programming language from VB.NET to something else for next year.

Also what are you using for your GUI's?

Thanks in advance.
