Free Python IDE

Thonny is a free Python IDE developed by Thonny IDE. The application runs smoothly on Windows and has various features, such as highlighting syntax shells and explaining scopes. Plenty of other features are available, with informative information about how to use each one.

If you’re looking for other coding software, there’s a myriad of alternatives available. Sublime Text and Aptana Studio are both apps that allow for Python and C++ use within them. PyCharm is a python focused application that works for coding.

Thonny is an open-sourced Python development program that’s aimed at helping beginners learn to code. At the start, the interface offers a limited set of options, hiding distracting features from learners and encouraging them to just start practising code. 

Beginner focus

Once you’re ready, you can begin selecting options one by one to show more features, such as variables. These give you an insight into how other apps work alongside your Python coding. The application will help you identify syntax errors by highlighting them, giving new coders a chance to identify and learn from their mistakes.

The app provides scope explanations and highlights variable occurrence to help you remember that variables can be different yet share the same name. The software also features a mode for explaining references.

Easy-to-understand interface

The interface for Thonny feels aged, resembling a Windows XP or Vista theme. While this display style may feel odd, it presents information in an accessible and easily readable manner. When installing third-party packages they can quickly be managed through a small GUI pop-out. The system shell screen can be accessed from the tools subsection and offers a command line path to install addons and more.

Coding for beginners and experts

Thonny is a Python IDE aimed at beginners yet offers enough functions and features that allow it to be used by expert coders with ease. The program’s interface can feel dated but provides quick access to any menu you need. 

The software offers a large variety of features that help make it easy to use for beginners. These features include options such as a simple debugger, variables you can access at ease, and highlighted syntax errors. Features such as the simple debugger are available at the press of a hotkey.
