I'm afraid I botched the previous release of my #ThonnyIDE + #py5 portable bundle for Windows users, by somehow using an outdated py5 package
:(((

I think I fixed it now:

Hi, dear people on #WIndows, can you check form me if on #ThonnyIDE you can do !jupyter lab on the interactive console down on Thonny's window? It works on Linux! (you have to have #JupyterLab installed)

I can check this tomorrow but I was surprised... (I was trying %run a few months ago and it didn't work) now I hope I can try #py5's live coding feature launching it from Thonny like this also...

UPDATE OF THE UPDATE!

Folks! I have updated my modified #ThonnyIDE #portable for #Windows with #py5 pre-installed, updating py5 to v.0.10.6a, which uses jpype 1.5.2 and I think will solve the nasty non-ASCII path issues, yay!

Would someone on Windows like to help me test it?

More about this Thonny + py5 thing here: https://abav.lugaralgum.com/como-instalar-py5/index-EN.html

If I had the time and energy I would:

• Make a #ThonnyIDE plug-in to launch #JupyterLab from the Thonny GUI interface (using Thonny's #Python #virtualenv;
• Write some code to convert #geoDataFrames with a graphic attributes column into #py5 styled shapes;
• Make a search interface to my daily sketch-a-day sketches and fix the RSS.

Updating my #Manjaro updated the system's #Python to 3.13, yay!

It broke my #ThonnyIDE which was installed via #pipx, and I'm having torebuild a lot of stuff, not good!

Cheers #py5 friends!

I have just updated my #ThonnyIDE portable bundle for Windows with Thonny 4.1.7. and py5, and the thonny-py5mode plug-in.

There was kind of an emergency going on because recently (last week?) PyPI made some API changes and both the Package manager and plug-ins manager panels in Thonny broke!

I'm grateful that Thonny's maintainer, Aivar, was quick to provide a fix (and I won't have to answer thousands of students desperate that they can't install the py5 plug-in or other stuff).

I updated things at my "How to install py5" pages (PT, EN, ES) for all platforms (Mac, Windows and Linux): https://abav.lugaralgum.com/como-instalar-py5/index-EN.html

And you can find the new portable bundle for Windows at: https://github.com/villares/thonny-portable-with-py5?tab=readme-ov-file#portable-thonny-ide-with-py5-and-some-other-libraries-pre-installed

As usual, I appreciate everyone that supports me with encouragement, suggestions and donations!

Changes in #PyPI to protect it from abuse from people using bots doing expensive searches broke an important feature of #ThonnyIDE (a GUI panel for installing packages) if you want to read more about it:
https://github.com/thonny/thonny/issues/3401 and on #Python's forum: https://discuss.python.org/t/fastly-interfering-with-pypi-search/73597/8

Very disappointed that I had to install #tk in order to have #Python #tkinter working on #Manjaro (old man shouts at clouds here)
sudo pacman -S tk

Then I could pipx #ThonnyIDE yay... (is it a good idea? I don't know)
