## Features
- **Clean UI**: Minimalist interface with syntax highlighting for Python code
- **Instant Execution**: Run Python code with a single click
- **Real-time Output**: Displays stdout, stderr, and execution status
- **Syntax Highlighting**: Color-coded keywords, strings, comments, numbers, and built-in functions
- **Multi-monitor Support**: Automatically centers window on the active monitor (Linux/xrandr)
- **File Operations**: Save code snippets for later use
- **Timeout Protection**: Automatic timeout after 5 seconds to prevent infinite loops
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Tkinter (usually included with Python)
- Note: While Tkinter is part of Python's standard library, many Linux distributions separate GUI components like Tkinter into their own packages. Run this if Tkiniter is missing:
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3-tk
```
### Setup
```bash
pip install pyditor
```
### Run
Run ```pyditor``` in termianl (MacOS and Linux) or in powershell (Windows).
## Keyboard Shortcuts
The application uses standard Tkinter text widget shortcuts:
- **Ctrl+A**: Select all
- **Ctrl+C**: Copy
- **Ctrl+V**: Paste
- **Ctrl+X**: Cut
- **Ctrl+Z**: Undo

MIT License - see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for details
## Use Cases
- Coding interviews and technical assessments
- Quick Python prototyping and testing
- Learning Python syntax and features
- Code snippet testing without IDE overhead
- Teaching Python programming basics
