Thymio plug-in for Thonny

Plug-in for Thonny, the Python IDE for beginners, to run Python programs on the Thymio II mobile robot. Based on the module tdmclient.

In Thonny, select the menu Tools>Manage Packages, type tdmclient_ty in the search box, and click the button Search on PyPI. Click the link tdmclient_ty in the result list (normally the only result), then the Install button below.

You can install the current development version from this github repository in the Thonny Shell panel. You have to use the same Python interpreter as the one which runs the Thonny application. In Thonny, open the Options (menu Tools>Options), tab "Interpreter"; the interpreter must be "The same interpreter that runs Thonny (default)". Then type the following commands in the Shell panel:

import pip
pip.main(["install",
          "--force-reinstall",
          "git+https://github.com/epfl-mobots/tdmclient-ty"])

You can change the interpreter back to your preferred one if you want. Finally, quit and restart Thonny.
