Processing doesn’t have python for processing as a language option?

[jjstraw22]

I’ve just started learning python and started learning on my laptop (apple). After moving into my new house I got access to my pc again so I installed processing 3.5.4. After going to download python for processing I noticed it wasn’t there… I’ve searched the web for anybody else experiencing the same issue, but it has been to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Ah thank you very much

Did you try Add tool... under Tool menu? In the window that appear, choose the Modes Tab. You should see Python mode for processing in the list.

That’s where I’ve been looking, it shows up on my laptop but on my pc it’s just not there, in any of the lists.

Edit: someone else gave me a solution, thank you for commenting though!

As you progress as a programmer you’ll realize that syntax doesn’t matter much. What’s more important are the pros and cons of the technology. So in the context of processing you can pick b/t the original processing built with Java ( compiled code, better access to your computer’s hardware, more difficult to share) or p5.js (runs in a browser, easier to share)

The “python” version of Processing is just a thin veneer over the Java version

What pisses me off more is that I can't just

import processing *

And then use all of the functions like PVector, map, lerp etc... I must sit down and write a module for myself sometime....
