# Pyzo - The Interactive editor for scientific Python

Main website: [pyzo.org](http://pyzo.org)


### Description

Pyzo is a cross-platform Python IDE focused on
interactivity and introspection, which makes it very suitable for
scientific computing. Its practical design is aimed at simplicity and
efficiency.

It consists of two main components, the editor and the shell, and uses
a set of pluggable tools to help the programmer in various ways. Some
example tools are source structure, project manager, interactive help,
workspace ...

Pyzo is written in (pure) Python 3 and uses the Qt GUI toolkit. Binaries
are provided for all major operating system. After installing Pyzo, it
can be used to execute code on any Python version available on your
system (Python 2.4 - 3.x, including Pypy).


### Installation

Pyzo runs on Python3 and needs PySide/PySide2/PyQt4/PyQt5. On a modern
OS these should be easy to obtain. One can then install Pyzo with
`python3 -m pip install pyzo`

We also provide binaries for Windows, Linux and OS X.
