Hi
I have been having issues trying to run python 3.5.1 and pyscripter 2.6. Giving
the error message that it cannot initialize python.
I have tried to re-install multiple versions of both python and pyscripter to
no avail. Any advice?
Use PyCharm.
Less bluntly, I used to be a heavy PyScripter user, but after it took
forever for PyScripter to support Python 3.4 (I wasn't even sure if it
did yet, but it apparently does as of a year ago, added one year after
3.4 was released), I moved on. PyScripter also has the big
disadvantage of being strictly single-platform, unlike Python itself,
so if you were to try to develop on another platform you would have to
learn a new IDE/editor anyway. I have found PyCharm to be very nice,
and very consistent cross-platform--I use it regularly on OSX and
Windows, and have also used it on Linux. I'm also becoming rather
partial to vim, which is also nicely cross-platform: if you have Git
on Windows, you have vim available already. Vim does have a somewhat
steeper learning curve, though.
My situation is similar. I used to use PyScripter and liked it a lot,
but when Python 3.4 support wasn't being added and I wanted a
cross-platform IDE, I switched to PyDev.
Looking a bit deeper into what your problem might actually be,
PyScripter does not support Python 3.5. Support for each new Python
version has to be added explicitly, and it has not been done for 3.5.]
For the record, it doesn't work with Python 2.7.11 either. PyScripter
only supports Python <= 2.7.10 and <= 3.4.x.
But seriously, you'll be much happier with PyCharm.
Or PyDev, whichever you prefer. I think PyCharm is easier to use than
PyDev, but it seems too resource heavy for some computers.
