Hi!

I just found an educational Python IDE nobody hasn't mention yet -- 
TigerJython: http://jython.tobiaskohn.ch/index.html
Here is author's PhD thesis:

> I'm compiling a list of available editors for Python designed 
> specifically for teaching, with information about the primary targeted 
> audiences and would welcome your comments and/or suggestions for 
> additions or corrections. So far, I have
>
> Target audience (my own draft definition; feel free to improve upon this):
>
> * young learners  (elementary and high school students)
>
> * hobbyists - beginners of all ages learning on their own
>
> * CS 100 course: elective course targeted at non CS (or even non STEM) 
> students. The focus is more on concepts, using Python as the practical 
> tool to learn these concepts, rather than learning the Pythonic idioms 
> or learning the effectiveness of various algorithms. For example, list 
> comprehensions would likely not be covered in such a course as it does 
> not add anything conceptually to an explicit for loop.
>
> * CS 101 course: core course in CS meant as a requirement for future 
> courses. Some pythonic idioms and details about algorithms would 
> likely be covered.
>
> Editors / IDEs :
>
> * IDLE: included with Python. Intended for everyone.
> * Mu (https://codewith.mu/). Primarily intended for young learners and 
> hobbyists.
> * Thonny. (http://thonny.org/) I am guessing that it is primarily 
> intended for CS 101.
> * Wing 101 (https://wingware.com/downloads/wingide-101) Primarily 
> intended for CS 101.
> * PyCharm Edu (https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm-edu/) Primarily 
> intended for CS 101.
>
> I am not looking for web-based solutions [otherwise, I would have had 
> included Reeborg's World ;-)] and do not want to include obsolete or 
> no longer maintained software (like rur-ple, the precursor to 
> Reeborg's World.)

> Best,
