is there a guide anywhere on how to get started writing Picard plugins? I found the plugins API in picard docs, but I'm talking more like tools or software that would be helpful before you even start writing something

...or python in general, really. doesn't have to be specific to the plugins

psychoadept: for picard plugins, you can take a look at the other plugins that are already present in picard.

if you are looking for a tutorial in python, take a look at the official python begginer's and developer guides

Not really either of those things, I've looked at simple plugins and I'm pretty good at figuring out code. I'm talking more like do you install python on your system like you would java, are you using an ide, how to interface with (fe) github, that kind of thing.

its pretty much upto you. vscode and pycharm are two popular ides. both have great git support or you can use git command line if you like.

pycharm looks like it should be familiar, at least. I've used other stuff from jtbrainz

psychoadept, I have Python 3.8 installed and use that as my development platform. I also use VSCode because it has so many "helper" plugin options.

thanks, that's good to know. Really appreciate your work on the api documentation

It still needs a LOT of work, but I'm focussing right now on converting the documentation project for publishing on ReadTheDocs. Much simpler maintenance for multiple versions and languages. The test, with a preliminary French translation, is at https://picard-documentation.readthedocs.io
