Mu, a New Python IDE for Beginners @raspberry_pi #raspberrypi

Our bestie likes our bestie –  we love the Mu editor for things like CircuitPython. The Raspberry Pi Foundation, another good friend, also loves Mu and actually helped to inspire it!

Raspberry Pi has written a blog post on the new Mu, saying:

Mu is intended to be not the only Python IDE you’ll ever need, but the first one — the editor that helps you start your coding journey, but not necessarily the one you finish it with. So when you’re ready, you will have the skills and confidence to move on to using a more advanced Python IDE.

You can use Mu in a number of modes; modes make working with Mu easier by only presenting the options most relevant to what you’re using Mu for:

• Python 3 programming
• Programming a micro:bit
• Creating games using Pygame Zero
• Working with Adafruit’s CircuitPython range of boards

Check out the full post from Raspberry Pi including the info on Carrie Anne Philbin’s inspirational EuroPython 2015 talk.

Ed. note: I think Mu will be the only Python editor I’ll need, it’s that good and runs on all platforms!
