You can download it from here more info and suggestions for testing here I you find any trouble, please report! I wish I could make an AppImage equivalent for Linux (but it is beyond my skills), and also re-package the Mac OS Thonny installer to include py5 (but I don’t have a Mac or an Apple dev…

[image] villares: I wish I could make an AppImage equivalent for Linux (but it is beyond my skills), I did some searching and found this: [image] Creating AppImages Package desktop applications as AppImages that run on common Linux-based operating systems, such as RHEL, CentOS, o…

One thing to consider, which might make my whole idea not a good idea, is that AppImages are read-only, so they might not be a good fit for an IDE with built-in Python. How would the user install new packages? Could we target a site-packages folder outside the AppImage? I don’t know. An alternative…

Oh, yes, we can fork and add JDK & libraries. For the MacOS “Thonny + py5 bundle” I guess this is the way forward (following instructions on that link I posted in the first message). For Windows, the portable zip seems to be mostly working. Then for Linux, packaging to different distro ecos…

Interesting. I just went through the packaging directory in the Thonny repo. //github.com/thonny/thonny/tree/master/packaging It seems achievable, and the team does respond to questions. I don’t think we’d need to worry about multiple LInux distros. They don…

UPDATE: I’m putting the new versions here: GitHub - villares/thonny-portable-with-py5

Hi Villares. The current version works amazing, thank you for this! I’ve run this on multiple systems (Windows), there seems to be a major lag between running the script and the canvas window showing up. Is this expected? Sorry I am completely new to py5 (processing user for a very long time). Thank…

Cheers @dodo ! Thanks for sharing your experience, I’m glad it has been helpful. I’m also worried about this lag, my students also complain about it taking too long to start & open the canvas, do you think the waiting time has increased in this latest iteration? The py5 maintainer, @hx2A , has been …

Hi, @dodo ! Thank you for bringing the lag issue to my attention. I did not know this was a concern for users. I thought about it for a bit and came up with a better design idea that would address this: Create Imported Mode Sketch Server for use by Thonny …

Thanks for the note @villares @hx2A ! Yes, the wait times are definitely a bit of pain at the moment. I teach beginner workshops and the feedback loop is critical between running code and executing it. Nevertheless, this has been a wonderful interface to work in so far otherwise and I’ll continue u…
