To use Python3 with Geany just update the Execute command from python "%f" to python3 "%f". To Use Python 2 I use the python command, and to use Python 3 I use the python3 command. On my raspberry Pi I have 2 versions of python installed. Press the F5 key or choose Build->Execute This will open a terminal window (UXTerm) and run the default python executable with the current file. Once your filetype is recognized, Geany uses default execution settings:

When you go to save a file set as a Python file the py extension is added automatically. py extension or set the file type under document->Set Filetype->Scripting Languages->Python. In the case of python you can save the file with the. Geany needs to know your currently file type to select the compile and execute settings. Any code issues found are displayed in the Compiler tab and lines with problems are underlined in red in the editor. This new Check command now appears in the Geany menu under Build, and if you run it, pycodestyle, pyflakes and pylint are all run against your code. You are limited to 3 Python commands in Geany, but you can create bash scripts with multiple commands to get around this restriction. The contents of that file are as follows: echo "= pycodestyle =" You can see the Check command is referencing a bash script file in my home directory called check_python_code.sh. To open these settings go to Build->Set Build Commands. The Compile and Lint commands are setup by default, but I have added the Check command as follows. Below you can see 3 commands configured for Python. For exampleīut you can also integrate them into Geany. These commands can be used from a terminal to check your python files.

Pyflakes checks your dependencies and import statements sudo apt install pylint

Pycodestyle checks your code formatting sudo apt install pyflakes These commands will check your code style to ensure you are formatting your code properly. I also recommend installing the Python code checker and linter commands. This is all you need to start coding in Python. You're going to want to make sure you have Python installed first off. The following command invokes the aptitude installer: sudo apt-get install geany To install Geany on Linux Ubuntu you can use the Aptitude packages installer (same goes for Raspbian). I am using Ubuntu Mate, but these instructions also work on Raspbian. To put these instructions together I am using a Raspberry Pi 4 with 4 MB of RAM.

How to configure Geany for Python Linux Ubuntu Install and Setup In this setup I have folder view enabled along with the editor screen split vertically to display multiple code windows. The screen shot below gives you an idea of what Geany looks like. Geany works well for Python development and in this article I go through installing, configuring and using Geany for Python development. On Ubuntu it take about ~1second to load and runs in about 60Mb of memory. Geany is a lean little text editor that runs on Windows, Mac and Linux.
