Writing Python with PSPad

PSPad is a great editor for programmers. Instead of using a dedicated Python IDE, PSPad can be tweaked to compile and run scripts directly. Here’s how: -

Go to Settings -> Highlighters Settings
Select “Python” in the left hand pane (if its not selected already)
Select the “Compiler” tab
In the “compiler” text box, enter or browse to the location of the Python compiler (e.g. C:\Program Files\Python26\python.exe)
In the “parameters” text box, enter “%File%” (note the double quotes)
Put a tick box in the “Capture Program Output Window” option
In the “LOG parser” text box, enter *file %F *line %L*

Once this is set up correctly, you will be able to run .py files directly from PSPad by going to File -> Compile or using the shortcut (Ctrl+F9).

Just looking into posting twitter updates from python. I’ve found three methods so far: -

Python Twitter Tools
python-twitter
Command-line via Curl (can possible do with urllib)

Hmmm, more investigation required…
