Developing with IDLE or Notepad++

[coanda]

Hi,

I'd like to develop with IDLE (or Notepad++) and I was wondering what prerequisites were required to develop with these tools? Do I need to incorporate micropython libraries in order for IDLE to recognise the commands? I don't get chance to write/script python very much so things like checking and auto-correction are useful to me so would like to try to have them when developing for the pyboard.

Thanks,

Coanda

Someone here recommended using Pyflakes/Pep8 etc to catch syntax and other errors soon in the editor - I'm using SublimeText which has a package for it (https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Pyth ... ke8%20Lint) and it works quite ok. It should be possible to do something like that for Notepad++ as well: searching for "notepad++ pep8" gives some hits.
Not sure if it's possible to use IDLE with micropython, that would be interesting though!

Stijn, thanks for the info. Will check out your suggestions tonight.
