How do I run Python code from Sublime Text 2?

Question

I want to set up a complete Python IDE in Sublime Text 2.

I want to know how to run the Python code from within the editor. Is it done using build system? How do I do it ?

Answer 1

Tools -> Build System -> (choose) Python then:

To Run:

      Tools -> Build        -or-        Ctrl + B        CMD + B  (OSX) 

This would start your file in the console which should be at the bottom of the editor.

To Stop:

       Ctrl + Break or Tools -> Cancel Build         Fn + C (OSX) 

You can find out where your Break key is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Break_key.

Note: CTRL + C will NOT work.

What to do when Ctrl + Break does not work:

Go to:

Preferences -> Key Bindings - User

and paste the line below:

{"keys": ["ctrl+shift+c"], "command": "exec", "args": {"kill": true} }  

Now, you can use ctrl+shift+c instead of CTRL+BREAK
