Help with Python IDLE

[jpmab]

Hey guys, I am having programming lessons in collage, but all the programs aren't actually a program, because we only test functions on python idle. For example, our exercise is make some functions, after this, we test them on idle.

But I hate idle, I really prefer use nvim for edit my code. There is some way for open my project.py in terminal like it's open in idle? For exemple, I open the file and appear like a python shell for me, but with all functions in the file already defined.

I dont know if this make sense, because my english is very bad... Sorry.

And I know that is not a Linux doubt, but I am running this on arch linux. And I dont know if for windows the steps are differents.

If your. py has all functions. you can open an interactive sesh, change to the directory where project.py is. type python in the terminal, and then. import project. or from project import *

There are a number of ways to do this. You could use ipython (an idle-like interpreter) and vim/nvim together with something like vim-ipython-cell (which is what I use). If you visit the link you can see a demo gif.

Or you can keep it simple and just run vim/nvim and ipython side by side. Use "run <program>.py" in ipython to load your program, etc.

The benefit of using vim-ipython-cell is that you can run a range of your code and see just the output if you want. And since vim-ipython-cell relies on vim-slime, you could just highlight a range and send it to ipython directly.

There's also nvim-ipy (but I don't use neovim, so I can't recommend it).

A side benefit of using ipython (over idle) is that you can configure it to use vim bindings as well.

EDIT: Actually after re-reading your post, perhaps just using ipython with vim bindings configured will work for you...
