The Wing Python IDE is a family of integrated development environments (IDEs) from Wingware created specifically for the Python programming language with support for editing, testing, debugging, inspecting/browsing, and error-checking Python code.
There are three versions of the IDE, each one focused on different types of users:
- Wing Pro – a full-featured commercial version, for professional programmers;
- Wing Classic - same as Wing Pro but ommits AI;
- Wing Personal – was a free version that omitted many of these features, for students and hobbyists, it was discontinued after Wing 11; and
- Wing 101 – a very simplified free version for teaching beginner programmers.
Wing Pro provides AI-assisted development, local and remote debugging, editing (with multiple key bindings, auto-completion, auto-editing, and multi-selection), source browser and code navigation, code refactoring, import management, error checking, auto-reformatting, unit testing with code coverage, version control, project management, Python environment and package management, single and multi-file search, fine-grained customization, support for Docker and LXC containers, assistance for working with third-party frameworks and tools (such as Django, Flask, Matplotlib, Pandas, Blender, Maya, Unreal Engine, PyQt, wxPython, and others) through Python scripting, and comprehensive documentation.
Wing Personal and Wing 101 omit many of these features. All three versions of Wing support installation on Windows, Mac OS X, and Intel and ARM Linux.
