what stand-alone python-aware open-source editors are around? - Skaperen - Jun-05-2023
what stand-alone python-aware open-source editors are around? by stand-alone i mean not a part of any development kit or package. by python-aware i mean that can recognize where it is in python code and provide specific indentation options and maybe even quick keyword entry. it would be great if it were in python but any other common open source language is OK (or in a language it can interpret) including compiled languages i can build it from.

Have you had a look at Sublime Text
I started using that a few weeks ago. It's not perfect, but it is worth a look.

I like sublime text, except that the macros only work for very simple statements, if you use any lookup, they fail. Nevertheless, it's a great editor for large files.

Kate is an excellent Python-aware open-source editor, free as in freedom. I recommend building from source to get all the recent features and plugins (building from source created a 9 Gio folder on my system). The syntax highlighting works with inumerable languages and many configurable color schemes. You can register macros and code snippets, etc.

FYI: Just started using Kate. Whopping 5 minutes of use rview -- So far so good!

I used Kate some years ago, but when I changed my Linux Distro, I could no longer use it :(
There's a 'Flatpak' install, but that's hopeless. I never got around to trying to build Kate from source (something that I've never done).
My Distro is now at EOL, so maybe I'll have a go at a build as I loved using Kate.

FYI: I installed (linix mint) with synaptic Package Manager.

Ah... I used the Software Manager, so maybe that's where I went wrong.
Thank you @Larz60+
The only other difference that could be a factor, is that I'm not using a KDE DTE, and 'Kate' is for (so far as I understand) KDEs
