Mu has a “Mode” button which can be used to write Python, MicroPython and CircuitPython. Mu has one feature that elevates it above other beginner editors. You can tweak multiple parts of your body on the same photo until you are satisfied. Edit your photos and make your body skinny or fat. If you are starting out with Python, Mu is an excellent choice to introduce the language. Edit any part of your face or body with a complete set of photo editor tools. Modules are libraries of code that can be used to add new features, for example RPi.GPIO and GPIO Zero are modules that enable Python to talk to the Raspberry Pi GPIO. Probably the best for free Peachy Body Editor is probably the best photo editing app for free on the IOS Appstore that you can download. This is where the ease of Mu works against it, as there is no means to install Python modules. The default is to write Python 3 code, to be run on our machine. It can output the results of our code and it can be used to access the REPL. A builtin checker and tidy application will check and format your code using Python style guidelines. We can zoom in and out of the code, useful when presenting to large groups.
A plotter can be used to visualize data via a graph. The Python Shell (REPL, Read, Eval, Print, Loop) is available to test ideas. Large icons and clear text identify the function of each button.
