3. Why Use Wing IDE?
Wing IDE is a powerful software development environment for Python programmers. By cutting down on coding and debugging time, Wing can help you build quality code more rapidly.
"The best Python IDE currently available."
-- Stephen Scherer, Ed.D., Jan 2004
"A real power tool to use for the development and debugging of complex Python applications"
-- InformIT, Sep 2001
- Faster, more accurate coding -- Wing presents you with context-appropriate code completion options and documentation, offers quick navigation to point of definition, and flags syntactical errors as you type your code. A plethora of keyboard-driven search and editing features, including Vim, Emacs, Visual Studio, and Brief keyboard bindings, keep plenty of coding power at your fingertips.
- Speedier debugging -- Wing finds bugs fast by detecting and stopping immediately on unexpected exceptions, letting you step through and inspect your code in the context of the problem. Conditional breakpoints, symbolic and object reference value watches, and command line interaction with your paused debug program speed the process of isolating a bug and designing a fix for it. Flexible launch options and remote debugging allows working with code in context, even if running under a web server, when embedded as a scripting language, or when launched from the command line.
- Quicker code learning -- Wing lets you understand unfamiliar code quickly, using its powerful search capabilities, source code browser, editor navigation menus, goto-definition, and the debugger's ability to watch programs in action.
- Easier unit testing -- Wing's integrated test facility makes it easy to write, run, and debug unit tests for your code base.
