Hi

Search the forum for More details

> [@Python Mode for Processing 4 alpha](https://discourse.processing.org/t/python-mode-for-processing-4-alpha/30760):
>
> For anybody who wants to help test this – Download this file: [https://github.com/tabreturn/processing.py-for-processing-4/raw/main/PythonMode-4.0a4.zip](https://github.com/tabreturn/processing.py-for-processing-4/raw/main/PythonMode-4.0a4.zip) Extract it and place the PythonMode directory in your sketchbook modes directory (see File \> Preferences menu in Processing for this location). Replace any existing PythonMode files. If you’re running Processing 3 and 4 on the same system, they both use the same sketchbook location (but this build seems to work fine in both). To report issue…
