Python Views

Python views support the development of Python code to automate the design and verification of circuits. This can range from simple run scripts for automating a portion of the design flow to full analog and RF generators.

Support for Jupyter notebooks is also included to support protoyping and run scripts. Markdown is included to easily prepare documentation.

View Type	Extensions	Editors	Description
module	*.py (*.pyc)	VS Code, gedit	A Python module
notebook	*.ipynb	VS Code, gedit	A Python Jupyter notebook
markdown	*.md	VS Code, gedit	A markdown document. PyCharm supports both editing and rendering.
yaml	*.yml	VS Code, gedit	A yaml data file

VS Code IDE

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is the default editor for Python views. It supports all the included Python view types. Many of the views require extensions to be installed. Before opening VS Code, it can be started from the Softworks menu in the library manager to open the code workspace of the current project.

Gedit Python Editor

Gedit is included as another option for editing Python views. It is just a relatively simple text editor. It is not as powerful as PyCharm but opens much faster than PyCharm and doesn’t need to be started separately before opening views.
