I am trying to write the Python BPY -code inside Blender and noticed some editor -mode (source) and, instead of reinventing the wheel, I want to use my Vim -syntax-highlighting-etc inside Blender -text-editor. So how can I use Vim inside Blender?
You can write scripts either in an external text editor, or in
Blender's built in text editor. Move to a panel you wish to change to
be the text editor, click the editor select button and choose "text
editor" (shortcut) SHIFT+F11. Click the + New button at the bottom.
If you want, you can enable line numbers and syntax coloring with the
buttons at the bottom. Create a new script with File → New, paste the
code below into it, and save it. Or alternatively, paste the code
below into a file, and open that file with File → Open in Blender. As
name choose something with the extension .py, for example
wikibooks.py. Put it into Blender's user scripts path.
From the source you provided it looks to me that it doesn't matter what text editor you use as long as you save the python scripts to the file locations provided in that documentation (e.g. ~/.blender/scripts and other OS paths). Not very familiar with blender since I'm answering via the vim tag. Looks like there's potentially a plugin to use an external editor: http://www.blendernation.com/2011/08/02/edit-blender-text-files-using-external-text-editor-plug-in/. Also if you're on Mac then look into QuickCursor: http://www.hogbaysoftware.com/products/quickcursor/.

I took help from this website https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/make-notepad-using-tkinter/ and used the code to create a full-fledged text editor which was like the windows Notepad.
Now, I want to integrate a terminal into it so that it can run the programs there itself.
refer this:
os.system()
make sure to check the path of the file that you want to run
It would be really handy to have a button to copy raw code from a Jupyter notebook to the clipboard so it can be dumped into a text file, .py/.R script, or straight into the terminal (a button like github has to copy to clipboard)
Does a button (or even a chrome add on) exist?
Obviously you could copy/paste sections manually into a txt file, but that's laborious for long notebooks/markdowns
Yes,there is a button:
File > Download as > Python (.py)
There is a more handy way for Mac OS users.
By installing an Automator script converting the ipynb file to py first, then automatically copy the content to the clipboard with one right-click and select the script in the Quick Action part.

You can use the magic command %%writefile to save as py file
%%writefile "directory/to/file/filename.py"
However, you should place this command at the top of the cell, otherwise it will throw an error.
I am practicing python code and executing it through command line. each time i have to execute my python file i go to cmd and write
D:\PythonPractice>python myClass.py
Is there any standard and comfortable way available to execute python code quickly?
If you are executing the same command, with no changes to arguments or anything, you can pack it in a .bat file (windows executable)
Name it something like myscript.bat
D:\PythonPractice>python C:\path\to\myClass.py
Put full path inside it. Now double click will do.
Use PyCharm Software by JetBrains (same company who developed Android studio and Kotlin language), it will help you in many ways .
Run Python with single press of a button.
Add modules easily just with some clicks.
Debugging the code as smooth as possible.
It is Awesome, I am using it for past couple of months.
you can change file association which controls what to do when invoking filename in command line. For instance, when you just type text filename in cmd, notepadd will be opened, for word docs Word or other document editor.
Have a look into following link from google or you can fiddle by yourself starting from Control Panel > Control Panel Home > Default Programs > Set Associations. Select a file type in the list and click Change Program.
Alternatively,you can use any of Python IDE (PyCharm,PyDev etc.) so you will be able to run directly scripts from editor.
With Notepad++, you can also create a shortcut to be able to launch your python script :
Menu Run > Run (or press F5)
Choose the python .exe (default in C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\python.exe
Then add this code next to the path : "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
This will allow to execute the current file
example of command with Python 3.6 :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Python36-32\python.exe" "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
Then save the command, by assigning a shorcut key, it's better with a modifier like SHIFT (SHIFT + F10)
Now you can launch any script with this shortcut.
I'm using Python and I want to open Notepad++ with a specific .xml file. I am able to do that with the following code:
os.system('start notepad++.exe m1.xml')
What I want to do after this is use a plug in on Notepad called 'pretty print xml' that's under the plug-ins menu, but I have no idea how to access it with just code. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to access this item without installing plug ins for Python; I don't want to have to install a plug in for Python, I want to be able to use Python to control the Notepad++ application.
Basically, via code, I want to:
Open the document [done]
Open a menu in notepad
Click a specific button in that menu
Save the document
I am using Enthought canopy for data analysis. I didn't find any option to create a .py file to write my code and save it for later use. I tried File> New >IPython Notebook, wrote my code and saved it. But the next time I opened it within Canopy editor, it wasn't editable. I need something like a Python shell where you just open a 'New Window', write all your code and press F5 to execute it. It could be saved for later use as well. Although pandas and numpy work in canopy editor, they are not recognized by Python shell (whenever I write import pandas as pd, it says no module named pandas). Please help.
Umair, ctrl + n or File > Python File will do what you want.
Best,
Jonathan
Let me add that if you need to open the file, even if it's a text file but you want to be able to run it as a Python file (or whatever language format) just look at the bottom of the Canopy window and select the language you want to use. In some cases it may default to just text. Click it and select the language you want. Once you've done that, you'll see that the run button will be active and the command appear in their respective color.
