PyScripter:

[PyScripter](https://www.embarcadero.com/free-tools/pyscripter/free-download) is a free and open-source Python Integrated Development Environment (IDE), with all the features expected in a modern Python IDE in a lightweight package. It’s also natively compiled for Windows to use minimal memory with maximum performance. Sponsored by Embarcadero, the IDE is fully developed in Delphi with extensibility via Python scripts. PyScripter comes in two versions, 32-bit and 64-bit.

PyScripter comes with features designed to enable smooth and efficient Python programming. These features include a syntax highlighting editor, an integrated Python interpreter, full Python debugging with support for remote debugging, integrated Unit testing, integration with Python tools like PyLint, TabNanny and Profile, and full support for encoded Python source.

PyScripter users can run or debug files from memory, and use a code explorer, to do list, find and replace in Files, integrated regular expression testing. PyScripter allows a choice of Python version to run via command line parameters, and can run Python script externally (highly configurable). It comes with a modern GUI with docked forms.

Enabling Delphi developers to accomplish more with developer tools is a priority for Embarcadero. This entails improving Delphi’s own capabilities with features like high-DPI support and powerful compilers, but it also involves building tools and libraries that enable developers to extend Delphi’s power to other languages.

It’s within the scope of this ultimate goal that Embarcadero continues to support Delphi’s integration with Python through developer tools and libraries, along with guidance in the form of ebooks, webinars and livestreams.

The Delphi-Python Ecosystem

The Delphi-Python ecosystem consists of tools and libraries acting as a bridge between the two development worlds. It includes a free Python IDE and libraries Python developers can use to build user interfaces, and the power to import Python libraries into Delphi and export design layouts from Delphi.


Python4Delphi: The Bridge

Python for Delphi (P4D) is a set of components that wrap up the Python Library into Delphi. They let Delphi developers easily execute Python scripts, create new Python modules, and new Python types.

Python for Delphi enables the creation of Python extension modules with Delphi classes and functions, and provides different levels of functionality, including low-level access to the Python API, high-level bi-directional interaction with Python, access to Python objects using Delphi custom variants (VarPyth.pas), and the wrapping of Delphi objects for use in Python scripts using RTTI (WrapDelphi.pas)

Python for Delphi supports Android, Windows (32 & 64-bit), MacOS (x86 & ARM), and Linux.

DelphiVCL & DelphiFMX for Python



VCL and FireMonkey(FMX) are mature GUI libraries used by thousands of Delphi and C++Builder developers around the world. The DelphiVCL and DelphiFMX libraries for Python are a set of Python modules that put the robust and mature VCL and FireMonkey (FMX) GUI libraries in the hands of Python developers.

DelphiVCL for Python is focused on native Windows development and employs the Windows-only VCL framework, while DelphiFMX for Python employs the cross-platform FireMonkey framework and brings a powerful flexible GUI framework to Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android.

Although knowledge of Delphi is a big advantage when working with these libraries, using the VCL and FMX libraries for Python development does not require previous knowledge of Delphi.

The libraries are built with the same open-source Python4Delphi library that powers the popular PyScripter Python IDE.

Python FMX Builder

The GUI application that’s developed using DelphiFMX will work cross-platform including Android. Python FMX Builder is a GUI application tool that you use to build and deploy/launch the DelphiFMX based Android apps. Android application development is where we shine compared to other cross-platform GUI development packages. We want to make it as easy as possible to launch an Android application developed using DelphiFMX with the Python FMX Builder application/tool. We have both CLI and GUI versions of the FMX Builder. We have built the FMX Builder using Delphi at first. To show the community what’s possible with DelphiFMX for Python, we’re building the same application completely again with Python. We invite you to take part in the development process using the Python version of FMX Builder to understand the power of DelphiFMX/VCL. We have plans in future to integrate the FMX Builder into PyScripter IDE as another knife in the swiss army knife. Below is a screenshot of a Tip Calculator Android app built with DelphiFMX and deployed using FMX Builder:

PythonGUI.org

PythonGUI.org is a blog with useful content and tools for both Delphi and Python developers who want to combine the two languages in their apps. Although the focus is on GUI development with Delphi and Python, the blog contains posts on a variety of themes of interest to developers.
