The Wing IDE

 

Working With Wing

Starting WingWing IDEConfiguring Wing

The Wing IDE is very simple to use. It consists of a text editor, Python shell, debugger and other development tools. You can play with the various tools, but you should only need the editor, shell and debugger for this course.

Managing Files. The files created in the Wing IDE are text files. You can create new text files, open existing text files or save modified files by selecting the appropriate action from the the "File" menu or clicking the appropriate tool on the task bar.

Editing Files. Editing files in the Wing IDE text editor is very similar to any other text editor. The main difference is that Wing

  • highlights your source code using different colors and font properties for easier readability, and
  • handles the statement indentation when constructing statement blocks.

Running A Program. To run a Python program, select the source file to be executed and click the “Run” button on the task bar at the top of the application window. The program will be executed within the Python Shell located in the subwindow at the bottom right of the application window. The shell window is also used for any standard output produced by the program and for user input via standard input.
