Lubuntu 14.04 under Installation Ulipad

ulipad– is the most useful native Python IDE in China, and the developer is Limodou. The IDE itself is written in Python + Wxpython. Ulipad has been used in the Windows system, and recently wanted to learn and experiment with Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), there are some differences in the installation process.

Before installing Ulipad, install a super-usable python interactive Shell--ipython. Ipython is powerful, she supports syntax highlighting/auto-completion/code debugging/object introspection, supports bash shell commands, and has built in many useful features and functions.

$ sudo apt-get install Ipython

Here are the installation steps for Ulipad:

1. Installing python-wxgtk2.8

$ sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8

2. Download Ulipad source code, Address: http://code.google.com/p/ulipad/downloads/list, I am under Ulipad.4.1.zip, unzip and execute Python ulipad.py can start the ulipad.

3. Add the Ulipad to the "Application" menu of the system as follows:

$ sudo gedit/usr/share/applications/ulipad.desktop

Then add the following inside:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=ulipad
Comment=a Python IDE
exec=python/home/nico/software/ulipad/ulipad.py
Icon=/home/nico/software/ulipad/ulipad.ico
Teminal=false
Type=application
Categories=application;development;

Note the path/filename must be filled correctly! Once saved, the Ulipad will appear under the Programming menu, application-like.

When the Ulipad is started, the icon on the panel is black, and the following commands are executed:

$ sudo cp/home/nico/software/ulipad/ulipad.ico/usr/share/icons

Magic, the little butterfly has appeared!

I put it under the Lubuntu14.04, just like the steps.

Got an SH on the table and started Ulipad.
