BlackAdder: Visual development with Python and Ruby

Location / Home / Products / BlackAdder / Overview

BlackAdder is an application development environment that allows professional and hobbyist programmers alike to produce complex applications for the Windows and Linux platforms.

BlackAdder brings together the Python programming language, the Ruby development language (Ruby is temporarily removed until the Qt bindings are updated to Qt3, currently in progress), the Qt graphical user interface (GUI) toolkit, ODBC database connectivity and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that includes an editor, a GUI designer, a debugger and an interactive Python interpreter. (A Ruby interpreter, debugger and ODBC support for Ruby are not yet available.) BlackAdder gives the programmer, in a single package, all they need to develop sophisticated applications.

Key Features

  • A complete cross-platform Integrated Development Environment for developing GUI applications in Python and Ruby. You don't need anything else.

  • Applications run unchanged under Windows and Linux. Protect your investment in your development.

  • Personal and Business Editions. The Business Edition includes optional support and the rights to distribute the run-time elements with your application at no extra charge.

  • A limited functionality, freely available demonstration version can be downloaded from here.

Detailed Features

  • Organises your Python and Ruby scripts and GUI designs into easy to manage projects.

  • An editor that includes highlighting of Python and Ruby keywords, automatic indentation, and user configurable fonts and colors.

  • An interactive Python interpreter (v2.3x) that allows you to execute any Python commands while your application is running.

  • The Professional version of the Qt GUI toolkit (v3.x) including:
    • the Canvas module

    • the Table module

    • the Database module

    • Qsocket, QserverSocket, and Qhost Address classes from the Network module.


  • A GUI designer with all the features of Qt Designer and generates Python and Ruby code.

  • A debugger that supports single stepping and breakpoints and the display of local and global objects in any active Python or Ruby frame.

  • 10mb of PyQt documentation with lots of examples and two tutorials, this is also available as a stand alone product called PyQtDoc.

All that in a fully integrated IDE environment.

Personal Edition Features

  • For home use.

  • Includes Windows and Linux versions.

  • Optional subscription service to receive updates.

  • Informal mailing list support.

Business Edition Features

  • For commercial use.

  • Includes Windows and Linux versions.

  • Optional subscription service to receive updates.

  • Optional formal email support.

  • Includes the rights to distribute the run-time elements (except mxODBC) with your application.

  • If you already own a commercial Qt license from Trolltech, then you can use the Personal Edition, but you will not have a commercial PyQt license, you would then need to check with Riverbank Computing.

BlackAdder Developer Network

The optional subscription service called BlackAdder Developer Network provides you with unlimited electronic updates of your BlackAdder version for a whole year, otherwise you would have to repurchase the product to get the major releases. Stay up to date with the latest updates and improvements with the Developer Network, available in packages for personal and business use. Please note that you must own BlackAdder first for this to have any value or effect, purchasing the Developer Network alone will not get you and initial version of BlackAdder.

Requirements

BlackAdder requires Python version 2.3x.
