Strype is an integrated development environment for the development of Python programs. It is entirely browser-based (requiring no installation) and provides a frame-based editor.
Strype was developed as an educational system, intended to learn and teach early programming based on the Python language. Its target user group are programming novices in the 12 to 17 age range.
Strype has been designed and implemented at King's College London. It is free software, released under the GPL license.
Design
Strype provides a full implementation of frame-based editing, allowing the manipulation of program statements are "frames", thus avoiding a range of syntax errors. Layout and indentation are managed by the system, as is the handling of statement syntax. This allows the user to concentrate on program semantics.
Graphics
In addition to the standard text output and turtle graphics, Strype provides a flexible graphics library that allows the creation of interactive graphical example early on. This can be used for motivational entry into teaching of programming.
Educator community
For educators, the project provides the Strype Teachers' Lounge[1], a teacher community site to discuss teaching strategies, exchange experiences and share material.
