Download & Install of Python Mode (for Processing) fails.

[aptokash]

I just picked up "Learn Python Visually" - I installed processing, but the adding the python mode fails.

Message: Error during download and install of Python Mode of Processing 3.

I am running windows 10.

I tried this on Processing 4, and both the 32 and 64 bit versions of version 3.
I was able to add other modes (ex: android mode).

Thanks, I've reported the issue. Hopefully it's resolved soon.

In the mean time, you can download the files here --
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tabreturn/processing.py-for-processing-4/main/PythonMode-for-Processing3.zip

In your Documents folder on Windows, there should be a folder named Processing; inside that is another folder named modes. Copy the PythonMode folder (from the download above) into modes.

* Use Processing 3.5.4 (not Processing 4) for Python mode.

Thank you for your assistance. I am up and running!!!

It seems to work on for the Windows version. However, I tried to manage the same thing on Ubuntu 20 and it didn't work. Also, the Python mode isn't even in the mode manager window of the linux version of processing 3.

@kaoutchouc -- the py.processing.org web server is down (certificate expired), which is why Python Mode is missing from the mode manager window. Hopefully this is resolved soon.

To install Python Mode manually on Linux, you don't use the Documents folder. Open the Processing editor, then select File > Preferences... to verify where your Sketchbook folder is located; that is the location that has the modes folder, where you must place the PythonMode folder.

Ok thank you. I tried it and it worked.

Hi, I'm working on a Mac 64bit and downloaded py version 4 for python. I cannot see the display window at all. Any tips?

@lei10003 -- the current Processing 4 release (4.0b6) has a Python Mode bug; this should be fixed for the upcoming release (4.0b7).

For now, you can use 4.0b5:
https://github.com/processing/processing4/releases/tag/processing-1280-4.0b5

If that fails to work properly, download Processing 3.5.4 from processing.org.
