This is actually a question about the Atom code editor, not one about Python, so it is really off-topic for this forum as well as unrelated to your originating topic. However, Tutor is a friendly place, so if someone knows much about Atom, I am sure they will try to help. But I must say, you did not give anyone much information to enable such help to happen. "... but it doesn't seem to work..." is an extraordinarily vague problem description! So you may wish to flesh out the details of your exact problem if you seek help here or elsewhere. But that is not what I wish to discuss. I am going to assume that you are not a professional programmer. If that is incorrect, I profusely apologize in advance! But that is okay. I am not a professional nor expert programmer myself. Because of this, I recall agonizing over the choice of code editor, or, possibly even worse, deciding whether to use an IDE or editor. This is a difficult decision about which many wax poetic and express their opinions with great emotion. If you wish to be amused, just do a search for Emacs vs. Vim editor wars! So the reality of it, whether you are a non-expert like me or a professional coder, choice of editor/IDE is an intensely personal choice. You will spend many hours/days/weeks/months/years/... of your life staring at your choice of editor/IDE, so you should pick something that works well for you. But editor hopping is not the answer! Instead, I would advise you to carefully evaluate your actual *needs*, and cull that list down to something that satisfies your sense of aesthetics. In my case I write some programs to make my life easier at work (*not* programming related). While there my time is split between PCs that are Windows-based and thin-clients connecting to a Solaris-based server. Whatever editor I use at work needs to be available in both environments, and the Solaris one does *not* allow me to install any new software, so it became my primary determinant of editor. When it came down to it, the only substantial code editing support was limited to vi until recently when our servers were upgraded with a newer version of Solaris (Yay!) which came with Vim/gVim. On the other hand, when I do my actual "fun" programming and learning, I mostly do that at home where I can install anything I like. So initially I tried all kinds of editors and IDEs and wasted quite a lot of time! And I did not get comfortable with anything. So I finally decided to just stick with vi/Vim/gVim/Neovim. The point is to stick with something long enough that you can realize its full potential, or, at least work your way in that direction. So, research your needs, both current and future. From that short list select what you will enjoy interacting with on a daily basis. BTW, back to Atom: Your question(s) about it would probably get better results on whatever forums are devoted to it. I am sure there will be at least one if not more.
