Location / Home / Products / BlackAdder / Technology Overview  About Python
Python is a modern, interpreted, object-oriented programming language. It is easy to learn by novice programmers but has all the language features needed to develop large scale applications including a comprehensive set of extension modules.
Because Python is interpreted, programs can be executed as soon as they are written making it easy to develop and debug code. Because Python is object-orientated, programmers are encouraged to re-use code. Taken together, this means that Python programs are quick to develop.
Python has its own web site at http://www.python.org/
About Ruby
Ruby is a an exciting new, pure, object oriented programming language. While few people in the West have heard of Ruby yet, it has taken off like wildfire in Japan -- there it is already overtaking the Python language in popularity.
What makes Ruby so popular? Ruby weaves the best features of the best programming languages into a seamless, concise whole. There is no single source Ruby web site in English, but the two main resources are www.rubycentral.com and www.rubygarden.org.
About Qt
Qt is the leading cross-platform GUI application framework. It provides application developers with all the functionality needed to build state-of-the-art graphical user interfaces. Qt is fully object-oriented, easily extensible, and allows true component programming.
Qt includes over 200 classes providing a comprehensive set of user interface widgets and controls. BlackAdder makes those classes available to the Python programmer as an extension module.
Qt is available as a C++ class library from Trolltech AS (http://www.trolltech.com/).
About the IDE
BlackAdder includes a sophisticated editor for creating and modifying
Python scripts. The editor includes the following features.
- Uses user configurable fonts and colors to highlight Python keywords,
comments and literal values.
- Code folding to hide the detail of function, class and method
implementations.
- Automatically provides the correct indentation as you type.
- Cut and paste text from other applications.
BlackAdder includes a visual dialog design tool that makes designing and
implementing user interfaces easier. The designer includes the following

- Automatic display of local and global objects of any current frame.
- Single-stepping through code.
- Set and clear breakpoints by clicking on the appropriate line in the
editor.
- Breakpoints can be set or clear while an application is running, not just
when it stopped.
- Dropping into the editor at the appropriate character when a syntax error
is found.
- Dropping into the editor at the appropriate line when an exception is
raised.
The BlackAdder interactive Python interpreter includes the following features.
- It is the same Python interpreter used by the debugger.
- The ability to execute any Python statement, even while an application is
being debugged or running.
- The interpreter is restarted automatically when needed.
BlackAdder provides facilities to organise the Python modules and form designs
that make up an application into easy to manage projects. Projects are
displayed by the explorer tool. The explorer includes the following features.
- Add new or existing Python scripts and form designs to a project.
- Navigate through the scripts and files in the project.
- Navigate through the directories on the Python sys.path.
- Compile all forms in a project with a single mouse click.
