portable scite python IDE

Scite

Scite is most lightweight editor and portable by nature, it is my favorite quick note and code for long time, only 3MB.

Here show you how to use scite as lightweight python IDE.

scite + python dark theme

You can download from my github and quick replaces your scite theme. Please backup your SciTEGlobal.properties if you have some change on it.

git clone git@github.com:robertluwang/scite.git
cd scite
cp SciTEGlobal.properties <scite path>/
cp python.properties <scite path>/

what changed to python.properties

scite already supports python, here just some small changes to make it more nice.

string in red or pink, not comfortable for me so changed to #246161, you can pick up one from HTML Color Picker
python path, you need to setup own portable path if it is not standard installation in windows
append below setting to end of python.properties, will override original python property setting


# own python property
