Abstract

Thonny is a new Python IDE for learning and teaching programming that can make program visualization a natural part of the beginners' workflow. Among its prominent features are different ways of stepping through the code, step-by-step expression evaluation, intuitive visualization of the call stack and a mode for explaining the concepts of references and heap. It is free to use and open for extension.
