Install and Configure the Atom Editor for Python. In this post well talk about the Atom editor which is, as they say, A hackable text editor for the 2. Century. Its a really nice, open source and modern editor, with a broad community that provides different and new packages and functionalities. Have you tried it yet Here, youll learn how to install it and how to configure it to write Python code. Lets start First, download Atom from the official webpage. Once installed, if you have a Mac or Windows, youll have two commands available. The first one is for opening the Atom editor, and the second one for installing Atom packages. Well see an example of both in the following. Edit a Python file and use Atoms Autocomplete. Lets start by creating a Python file with. This will open the file in Atom, and youll see the containing folder with all its contents on the left sidebar. In the new file, if you type. This is because Atom has detected that the file extension is a Python extension. If you type the. Tab key, youll see a template for a new function Note that you have the. This is because you can now type the name of your function and it will replace. Lets name our function. Next, if you hit the. Tab key again, the arguments of the function. Just write. x,y, as we need two different arguments for our function. Finally, hit the. Tab key again to select the body of our function. The end function should be something like. Also notice the blue circle next to the file name. This means that there are unsaved changes in your current file. You can save it just typing the usual cmdc or ctrlc in windows. Linter for Atom. Linter is an Atom package that provides a top level API so that there is a unification among all the linter atom plugins. This means that all the extra packages that you install, that highlight your code for example to detect errors will use a unified method. To install it, just type. Next, were going to install a Python Linter package, to help us detect errors in our Python code. This package is called linter flake. To install it, you need to run. You must restart Atom to see the changes. For example, if we add the folling line of code in our file. Atom screen If you open Atom and you find an error that says. The linter binary flake. The linter binary flake. You will need to open the Atom init script Atom Open your Init Script and write the following. PATH usrlocalbin, process. PATH. join 1process. PATHusrlocalbin,process. PATH. join. Restart Atom the apply these changes. It should work now Moreover, there are Linters for other languages like HTML, CSS or Javascript. You can find a list here. Further customisation for Python to follow PEP8. Here Ill show you how you can configure Atom to follow PEP8, the official Python styling guide. First, open the Atom Preferences window. Use spaces instead of tabs. Scroll down the Settings panel until you see the Soft Tabs option. Make sure its checked. This setting will convert tabs into spaces automatically. Set the tab length to 4 spaces. A little below the Soft Tab setting, youll see the Tab Length. Set it to 4 spaces. Automatic PEP8 validation. If you installed the linter flake. PEP8 validation Keybindings customisation. In the same Preferences panel, you can see the Keybindings menu on the left. There, youll find a list of all the default keybindings active in your Atom editor. However, by default, Atom confirms an autocomplete suggestion with both the Tab and Enter keys. But I only want to use the Tab key. In order to disable Enter as an autocomplete confirm key, we need to go to the Keybindings menu where youll see a link that says your keymap file. Click on that link to open the keymap. There, you need to write. Disable Enter key for confirming an autocomplete suggestion. Disable Enter key for confirming an autocomplete suggestionatom text editor notmini. Save the file and youll see the changes immediately. No need to restart Atom Other Useful Packages. Project manager a package for saving your projects. Atom Django Django support for Atom.
