Spend your time on the idea.
Python is ready.
Open the app and start coding. Python, your editor and useful libraries are already together, ready for your next script.
A familiar place to work
Your files. Your code. Your results.
Open a folder and keep the work in front of you. The file sidebar helps you find your script; the console shows what happens when you run it.
Feel at home on your Mac
Use familiar menus, keyboard shortcuts and file pickers. The native Mac app supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs.
Read your code more easily
Syntax colours, indentation, folding and find-and-replace help you understand and edit longer scripts. Choose fonts and themes that suit you.
See the result as you go
Run a calculation or try a library call, then read its output in the console. Keep editing and testing in the same window.
Libraries included
Start with data. Finish with something you can use.
Work with tables, arrays, charts, images and web requests using libraries bundled with the Mac app.
Draw a clearer picture
Use Matplotlib to plot your results. Compare categories or see how a value changes over time.
Explore charts →Add what your script needs
The package manager helps you find and install additional pure-Python packages. Start with the included libraries, then grow from there.
