Welcome to the site.


Ex.Co. (Extensible Coder) is an extensible text editor written and scriptable in Python.


It uses PyQt and QScintilla libraries with some lexers optionally available in Cython for more efficient text highlighting. On the image to the right you can also see the other software that was used to create or is part of Ex.Co..


I developed it with simplicity of use,  extensibility and modularity in mind. Features are added when they are needed by someone (usually me when I need something at work). Open an issue on Github with the feature tag and it will be added if it's possible.

  • All standard text editor functionality (copy, cut, paste, ...)
  • Function wheel for quick access to most of Ex.Co.'s functionality

    • Python 3
    • Nim
    • C
