Python Mode console won't display anything

Description

I'm logging this issue here in response to @benfry's request: https://github.com/jdf/processing.py/issues/390#issuecomment-1013791048

The Processing 4 PDE isn't displaying any errors/warnings/print lines in the console using Python Mode --

Expected Behavior / Current Behavior

Errors/warnings/print lines should display in the console in Python Mode, but they don't.

Steps to Reproduce / Your Environment

I'm using a version of Processing.py that I built for 4.0a4: https://github.com/tabreturn/processing.py-for-processing-4

I cannot build with the 4.0b3 source, but possibly because I've forgotten how to do it properly. Perhaps somebody could provide advice on how to build Python Mode for 4.0b3; then, I can update the build instructions in the Processing.py repo?

System Info

• Processing version: 4.0a4
• Operating System and OS version: not-applicable I think (affects Win and Linux)

For now, use Processing 3.5.4

Having this same issue -- no errors are making it to the Console, and sketches run while silently failing.

Still experiencing this issue today. It's really hard to pinpoint what broke in my code when developing something.

Hi @derDere, @raelum, and others,

Unfortunately, Processing.py was never fully ported to Processing 4, and the Python Mode doesn't have an active maintainer.

Processing.py relies on Jython, which only supports Python 2 and seems no longer actively developed. Because of this, there's no straightforward path to supporting Python 3, and we don't expect Python Mode to work reliably in Processing 4.

As it stands, options are as follows:

• Use Processing 3.5.4 with Python Mode for Processing 3
• Switch to py5, which supports Python 3 and is actively developed (outside the PDE for now)

Switch to py5, which supports Python 3 and is actively developed (outside the PDE for now)

And we aspire to get it working in the PDE, perhaps later this year. Currently there is a nice plugin for Thonny, which can provide a PDE-like experience.

There are lots of resources available to assist you getting started with py5. Also you can ask questions on GitHub discussions or in the py5 category of the Processing Discourse forum.
