Codimension is yet another free experimental Python IDE licensed under GPL v3.

Codimension aims to provide an integrated system for:

• traditional text-based code editing, and
• diagram-based code analysis.

At the moment a few graphics oriented features are implemented. One of the major (and the most visible) is a generation of a control flow diagram while the code is typed. The screenshot below shows the main area divided into two parts. The left one is a traditional text editor while the right one is a generated diagram. The diagram is updated when the IDE detects a pause in typing the code.

Features

Implemented features (major only, no certain order):

• Ability to work with standalone files and with projects
• Remembering the list of opened files (and the cursor position in each file) separately for each project
• Editing history support within / between files
• Ability to hide / show tab bars
• Recently edited files list support for each project separately
• Recent projects list support
• Automatic watching of the project dirs for deleted / created files
• Template supports for new python files for each project separately
• Editor syntax highlight
• Imports diagram for a file, a directory (recursively) or for a whole project with jumps to the code
• Simple line counter
• Hierarchical python files content browser with quick jumps to the code
• Hierarchical classes / functions / globals browsers with filtering and quick jump to the code
• Object browsers support showing docstrings as items tooltips
• File outline tab
• Running pylint with one click and quick jumps to the code from the produced output
• Running pymetrics with one click and quick jumps to the code from the produced output where possible
• Ability to run pylint / pymetrics for a file, a directory (recursively) or for a whole project
• Table sortable representation of the McCabe cyclomatic complexity for a file or many files
