Spyder is a free and open source scientific environment written in Python, for Python, and designed by and for scientists, engineers and data analysts. It features a unique combination of the advanced editing, analysis, debugging, and profiling functionality of a comprehensive development tool with the data exploration, interactive execution, deep inspection, and beautiful visualization capabilities of a scientific package. Spyder’s multi-language Editor integrates a number of powerful tools right out of the box for an easy to use, efficient editing experience. The Editor’s key features include syntax highlighting (pygments); real-time code and style analysis (pyflakes and pycodestyle); on-demand completion, calltips and go-to-definition features (rope and jedi); a function/class browser, horizontal and vertical splitting, and much more.
