Hi all! I’m starting with tryton development but I’m finding some difficulties to get the “perfect” environment. I’ve found a similar question [here](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/tryton-development-environment/582) but even when I found very interesting the cookiecutter module I would like to find a tested IDE. My requirements for this IDE are the followings: 1. Autocompletion when I’m working with tryton objects and functions. 2. Search easily the source code (or the definition) of a tryton method. 3. Integrate git. 4. Integrate virtualenvs. These requirements made me think about pycharm but I cannot make it recognize the whole tryton world! Is there any guide you can point me at to configure an IDE for developing at ease with it? Best regards! ---

First i begin with VIM: [https://www.vim.org/](https://www.vim.org/) Now i’m using Visual Studio: [https://code.visualstudio.com/](https://code.visualstudio.com/) With some specific plugins that’ll do all your requirements… ([Python in Visual Studio Code](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/languages/python)) ---

I think the best IDE is the one you are confortable with. To be honest I do not think autocompletion gives a big boost. I’ve never used while programing on tryton and I do not miss it. On the other hand I think you should add some [pyflakes](https://pypi.org/project/pyflakes/) plugin to your IDE to hightlight the errors and warnings while editing. Having said that, I always recomend having a look at our [Coding Guidelines](https://www.tryton.org/develop#coding-guidelines) and try to follow them even if you plan to develop custom modules. Once you are used to it, it’s easier to contribute back to thd project. ---

> [@Rafantastico](#): > > Autocompletion when I’m working with tryton objects and functions. I do not think it is doable because “Tryton objects” are constructed at run time depending of the modules activated. I once suggested that a [hook could maybe written to create stub files](https://discuss.tryton.org/t/proposal-create-project-coding-standard-for-tryton/2295/3) which may help for completion. But I have doubt about the result. ---

I use emacs with the module [jedi](https://github.com/tkf/emacs-jedi), east modulate uses virtualenvs. I install trytond on the [jedi environment](https://tkf.github.io/emacs-jedi/latest/#jedi:environment-virtualenv) for autocompletion Tryton objects and easy go to definitions. Emacs has interface with [version control system](https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/VersionControl) for git, mercurial, fossil and others. Also is [magit](https://magit.vc/) for git. ---

I’m trying Visual Studio and Pycharm using flake8. Thank you all! ---

I use Visual Studio Code. And I love it. You can do all you ask for and also: - Debug (without the need of “import pdb”), step into/over/out, watch current objects and its field values, breakpoints… - Git Integration, with GitHub, Bitbucket and more. See uncommited changes with just one click over a file. Commit with a click. - Easy manage virtual environments - Postgresql explorer - Autocompletion and coloring - Powerful and fast searching - Manage all your modules in a tree view. - Navigate to class/function definition (with restrictions due to trytond estructure). - Integrated console - … And much more: There are thousands of extensions. And it is improved constantly.
