Sometimes using built-in Python IDLE isn't so quick after all for testing code blocks.
Using online compilers such as Programmiz is limited by the library available. Need to use import os? Sorry NO-GO.
Luckily, Notepad++ comes to the rescue with a very concise setup:
-
Go to the Run tab in Notepad++
-
Click Run...
-
Enter the following command and save it as "Run Python" or whatever you like:
python -i "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)"
-
Set a hotkey for that. I set
ctrl+F5
for that. -
Now simply test any code you want in Notepad++, save it and hit
ctrl+F5
to run the Python code. Done.
