Indeed, monaco-editor is pretty cool as an alternative. I think they come with themes built-in? ---

hi @Aaron_Tang, Good day. Dynamo built-in default theme is OK, i think. But for python editor, at least, should includes preferences setting for font size, colors and themes … Cheers! ---

Hi, this looks great Im not sure if possible yet, but can run another python node (from exterior python app) helping to link packages or enviroments related to python that is not available in python dynamo at the moment. Nice development ---

I haven’t checked it but it seems to be a very useful feature. However I am not sure this is a right place to say, dynamo cannot handle some most useful libraries such as Numpy and Pandas. This is due to limitations of IronPython. By any chance, do you know of any plans to address this issue? ---

Hello @sobhan.kouhestani - We do have active work (No date promise though I’m afraid!) to update the Python node inside of Dynamo to support Python3 and all of the associated coolness (Pandas, NumPy, SciPy etc.) 🙂 ---

Hello @Bjorn_Keulemans1 - there is already **Autocomplete** in the editor courtesy of @Dimitar_Venkov’s awesome PR 🙂 that @Keith_Alfaro implemented. This was added in **Dynamo 2.2** - you can have a look here: [https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/pull/9402](https://github.com/DynamoDS/Dynamo/pull/9402) If you are working in Revit then this is accessible from **Revit2020.1** onwards. ---

Wow, was unaware of that. Will take a look right away. ---

It’s much much better than the previous implementation 🙂 So a bit shout-out to Dimitar on this one! ---

Hi all, For ppl still interested in this thread. Our team has finally made this feature available in Dynamo 2.19 release and forward, if you have feedback on what additionally you would like to see it happening in the related area, let us know!

The dockable Python pane persists between the custom node and the home workspace, which is cool. But, there is an issue if the node is closed. Thankfully the graph doesn’t crash, but you can “make changes” that will be lost. ![20230510-pythonDock](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/5/65280a0a0402c62154fd1f3b3d8f38aee152d743.gif) ---

Also, if docked was the “last state”, you are unable to choose the engine until you undock it again. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/c/9cb86af1c3bf3dc719ca1a7b32ea78edd83b1a18.png) ---

Last one for now. But, selecting the IronPython3 engine (From the package manager) does not actually change it? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/2/b2b66f2af9bb5298deff3b4b44b31a9853534930.png) ---

that last one seems like a bug with the package / dynamic python engines in general - or do you think it’s somehow related to the docking functionality?

Will do! I mostly just noticed it while testing the new version so it might not be related. [Previous page](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/request-for-feedback-docking-python-editor/47541.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/request-for-feedback-docking-python-editor/47541.md?page=3)
