Pimp Your Editor

As a developer, your text editor is your primary tool. It is well worth your while to take the time to make it your friend.

Tasks

Read the assignment text to get some ideas about how you can improve your text editor. If you are not a Sublime Text user, consider it a challenge to learn how to make similar improvements to your editor of choice.

Complete the enhancements listed by the deadline.

In addition, see if you can find a few other add-ons that you find useful. Try to install them and configure them.

Searching online for “editor enhancements for python development” can be of help in brainstorming.

Submitting Your Work

Submit screenshots of your editor showing the enhancements you’ve made. In particular, style linting is crucial.

Use the comments feature to add questions, comments, and reflections on what you learned. Especially if you find any nifty plugins or enhancements you want to share with the class.
