Python/Qt Code Editor widget

What is pyQode?

pyQode is a flexible source code editor widget for Python Qt applications. pyQode is a library/widget, not an IDE. You can see it as an alternative to QScintilla.$

pyQode is a namespace packages made up of the following official packages:

• pyqode.core: This is the foundation package, it contains the pyqode base classes (QCodeEdit, Mode, Panel) and a set of builtin modes and panels that are useful for any kind of code editor. With pyqode.core you can already create a generic code editor (similar to gedit, notepad++) with only a few lines of code

• pyqode.python: Adds various python specific modes and panels

• pyqode.widgets: A set of additional widgets that might be useful when

  developing a pyqode based application (QPropertyGrid, QInteractiveConsole, QEditorTabWidgets, ...)

• pyqode.designer: Starts Qt Designer with all the installed pyqode plugins

• supports PySide and PyQt4
• supports Python 2 and Python 3

.. code:: python

    # simple example using PyQt4
    import sys
    import PyQt4  # just to tell pyqode we want to use PyQt4.
    import pyqode.core
    from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication


    def main():
        app = QApplication(sys.argv)
        editor = pyqode.core.QGenericCodeEdit()
        editor.openFile(__file__)
        editor.resize(800, 600)
        editor.show()
        return app.exec_()


    if __name__ == "__main__":
        sys.exit(main())
