How to run Python in komodo

Question

I am completely new to Python and wanted to try this code from the tutorial:

istrue = 1
if istrue:
    print ("be carefull!")

The code itself should be fine, but I can not find any way to execute this code inside the editor [Komodo-Edit](http://www.activestate.com/komodo-edit)

I am used to Visual Studio and QtCreator (experienced C++/Qt developer). I would expect a menu for debugging and a command such as 'start debugging' which should open a console or use a console inside the editor. I would in any case refuse to use a dos console because then the whole idea of using an IDE would be useless.

If other Python IDEs would be more useful (on windows, no costs) I could switch to another one (except for vim/emacs).

Answer 1

I used to use Komodo edit, but not anymore as It's more of a text editor than an IDE. I reccomend using Ninja-IDE or Eclipse with PyDev. But if you insist on using Konodo Edit, here's an option: Go here: Toolbox > Add > New Command... in the top field enter the name 'Run Python file' or something else. Then go to the 'command' field and enter this:

%(python) "%F"

Optionally, you could also specify key binding for fast python executing.

Answer 2

I tried Komodo Edit version 9 and 10. Matthias' method work for the version 9. Version 10, I couldn't see the option to choose the Interpreter.
