DEV

A walk through guide about what we recomend to use if you want to successfully develop PyTom applications or modify PyTom code.

For the very first step, you will need only few things to develop custom scripts for PyTom. All you basically need is as much what you needed before for developing custom Python code. That is a text editor and a terminal with a running PyTom version. That should be enough for small scripts.

However, large projects should be developed in a sophisticated IDE. Our team thus typically uses Eclipse with the PyDev plugin. In order to make coding little more convenient we recommend to use CDT for C++ development and GIT for versioning.
