OpenCobolIDE

version 2.0b1

OpenCobolIDE is a simple and lightweight cobol IDE based on the OpenCobol compiler.

The software is written in Python using PyQt4 and pyQode

Features:
  • syntax highlighting
  • code completion
  • code folding
  • compile as program (.exe) or as subprogram (.so)
  • run the program from the editor
  • also open text files

License

OpenCobolIDE is released under the GPL version 3

Installation

GNU/Linux

The package can be installed from pypi:

pip install OpenCobolIDE

You will still have to install PyQt4 and OpenCobol on your own:

sudo apt-get install python-qt open-cobol
Windows

There is a windows installer available here: https://launchpad.net/cobcide/+download

Requirements

The project depend on the following library:
  • Python 2.7 or Python 3.3
  • PySide
  • OpenCobol
  • pyqode0core
  • pyqode.widgets
  • Pygments >= 1.6
  • chardet (chardet2 if you are using python3)

Here are the instructions to install the dependencies manually:

sudo apt-get install python2.7 python-qt open-cobol python-setuptools
sudo easy_install pcef

Disclaimer

I am by no way a cobol expert, I just had to work on a cobol project at school with an awful IDE (NetExpress on a Windows Xp virtual machine). As I was writing PCEF (a code editor widget for PySide), I thought it would be nice to use it to make a simple cobol editor for Ubuntu.

I will only cover the needs for my project so it might miss a lots of things for the expert. Don't hesitate to collaborate on the project, report bugs and post blueprints on launchpad.
