It is just an neccesary

code folding is a nice to have,  but nowhere near a neccessity for coders

PyScripter should be geared towards its strengths; its a free python debugger, 
which 
are pretty much non-existant. Therefore, anything that can improve the 
debugging 
experience should be prioritized above the editing experience (most python 
coders 
already have their preferred editor, and will switch to Scripter to debug.) 
Code 
folding should be low priority.

I have to disagree with garret about low priority. I love pyscripter and would 
like
to do all my python development inside of it. Switching out to a different 
editor for
development means having another application running with its own 
idiosyncrasies to
remember.

Agree that its not a 'necessity' though. 

I think that even for debugging, code folding is specially useful. I think that
Python is one of the languages that benefit the most of code folding, given that
there are no brackets to mark the beginning and end of blocks.

More than once I had a bug because of a non properly indented line of code! 
With Code
Folding (and block markers) this would be much easier to find.

I too think code folding would be a real plus. I have already moved my 
development
activity to PyScripter and this productivity enhancement would high on my 
priority list.

Sorry, what exactly code folding stands for?
We already have the "code explorer" but I guess it's a different thing...

See:
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_folding

I'm certainly a fan. When you add it can you add a "fold all top level 
functions on
open"? I've only found one IDE that will fold all top level functions when 
opening a
document. I loved that feature too.

A feature I've never found anywhere but I think would completely rock is if 
there was
an option to fold all top-level functions AND all the top-level def's inside 
the classes.

Eh? Eh? Awwwww... :)

Great work on this IDE. I've never found code completion this good outside of 
pycrust.

Code folding is important in order to save valuable time, specially in large 
files.

In Issue 158 is stated that Tab guides will be introduced as a part of this 
issue.
But if code folding is going to take some time, can it be introduced as a 
separate 
feature?

Yes, code folding is the only thing that I as a self taught python programmer 
find that 
PyScripter lacks.

really really need this block collapsing feature

I love the IDE, and it really really sucks that code folding is absent.

code folding........ PLEASE!

Please...

Triple "Please" :)
I am using pyscripter on my site http://vample.com for a major revamp.
Please add code folding capabilities.

Indeed, please add code folding :)

I have been using PythonWin for years and have recently discovered PyScripter.  
I would love to now use PyScripter exclusively but not having the code folding 
seems a bit odd.  PythonWin is free and it has it, why not PyScripter.  Here's 
my vote for code folding.

OK guys.  This one is the next big thing on my list.

Thank you :)

thank you very much

ty~

Yes I would love to see this soon

I think it's not easy, since the code editor component (Synedit) itself doesn't 
support code folding.

A better option is DScintilla, it's much powerful, I am using it in LIVEditor - 
a new text editor for web coders, with a Firebug-like UI for tweaking 
css/html/js lively (http://liveditor.com).

Including code folding would be a huge plus. My coding needs are mostly served 
by PyScripter, but sometimes I really need to fold part of the code. Besides 
the obvious "indent" criteria for indention, it would be also useful to have an 
"explicit" delimiter, similar to the "#region" suggested above. An excellent 
implementation of folding with explicit delimiters is found in jEdit.

Big +1 for code folding

Hi I want to help you port the current Synedit to add code folding but tried to 
find the letter press sources and could not find the sources to be based off. 
Any guidance where to start?

Since I'm doing more and more wx scripting, code folding has become a real 
need. If it worked only at class level, I would be very happy, and could wait 
until it folds also defs.

I'm almost certain that I'm talking to myself at this point, but:

Code folding, please?  It was the next big thing on your list nearly 3 years 
ago?

What's the holdup?  Maybe someone will help you.  Love this IDE otherwise. <3

A huge +1 for code folding. 

If this feature has been already added, could someone tell me how to collapse 
the code block?

Please add code folding!
This would be awesome!

Or is it already implemented?!

Realy like PyScripter
But because of code folding, looking for alternatives.
Would be great to have code folding. Tnx

*subscribe 

I'd love some folding/collapsing as well *shrugs. Sorry for spam :>

I would highly recommend using the same mouse and keyboard code folding 
shortcuts as SciTE. It is an especially nice implementation of code folding. 
You can alter the folding behavior by holding Ctrl and/or Shift down when 
clicking on the fold. This is intuitive and easy to remember.

code folding - long-expected feature, PLEASE :)

@#55 That is a separate issue. If if you checked this issue tracker and
found that it is not here, then you may wish to open a new issue.

I would also like to see code folding. Given PEP styles and suggestions, code 
can get hard to follow with large projects, being able to fold a class, module, 
or function, etc... would certainly be useful. Other than that this editor has 
been excellent and my choice for a python IDE just a few more tweaks like the 
code folding would make this a complete IDE in my opinion.

when is release 3 slated to come out?

I agree ONE MILLION PERCENT that code folding is a necessary feature

It should have a high priority IMHO (just starting to use PyScripter now, and 
its a sorely missing feature...)

But for a free open source project, it rocks! :^)

I've been using Notepad ++ for python just because of the code folding. I would 
love to see this feature come to pyscripter.

There's no point to +1'ing such an old issue and it sends notifications to 
others who don't really care about your +1.

This is what the star button is for.

@ #64, then unsubscribe. There is a point to pushing thus still needed issue. 
It being old simply shows how consistently it is viewed as needed..
