Does python mode development needs processing build also.. When I run 'ant test' command it gives me a error message saying processing build cannot be found and shows a path as my home directory. I was able to run python mode using a separate download of processing.py What is the correct way to set up the development environment for processing.py
Answers
Yes, you need the source of Processing to be able to build the Python Mode.
Download the Processing source, keep it in the same directory as that of Processing.py(Or change the paths in build.xml).
Make sure you have the right version of Java installed(Oracle Java 8).
You should be able to build both Processing(run
ant run
insideprocessing/build
), and also run the ant tests for Processing.py by runningant tests
. You can also generate PythonMode.zip by runningant mode.zip
.If all you want to do is code using Python, you can download it through the PDE like any other mode.
