Feature Overview

Tabbed editing, line numbers, find and replace, syntax highlighting, autosave, and optional autocomplete form the daily editing surface.

• Tabbed editor with unsaved-file indicators.
• Find, replace, find next, find previous, and replace all.
• Autocomplete can be improved by Jedi in the legacy version where installed.
• Read the dedicated editor guide for the full workflow.

The active project folder keeps related files close and gives the AI assistant a clear project boundary.

• Open a folder as the active project.
• Create, rename, delete, and open project files.
• Search within the active project.

Run scripts inside pyIDE or launch them through an external console when interactive terminal behavior is required.

• F5 runs internally.
• Ctrl+F5 runs in an external console.
• Shift+F5 stops a running script.
• Output and error text are visible in the run panel.

pyIDE provides a helper interface around PyInstaller for building Windows EXE files from Python scripts.

• PyInstaller must be installed in the selected Python environment.
• The helper does not invent new build options.
• Build logs should be checked when a generated EXE fails.

Settings cover themes, autosave, recent files, autocomplete, external consoles, interpreter configuration, and session behavior where supported.

• Legacy configuration is stored in pyide_config.json where writable.
• Fallback configuration can use %LOCALAPPDATA%\SFT_PyIDE\.
• Some options may change during v2.0 development.
