Wing Python IDE

Wing Python IDE is a Python development environment for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Its editing and navigation tools include auto-completion, code analysis, refactoring, inline error detection, multiple keybinding styles, and project-wide navigation. Debugging features include conditional breakpoints, multi-process debugging, an interactive Debug Console, and array and dataframe viewers. Wing supports unittest, pytest, doctest, nose, and Django, and can rerun tests affected by edits using coverage information. It also supports remote work on hosts, virtual machines, containers, Raspberry Pi, AWS, and LXC/LXD clusters. Wing Pro adds AI agent development tools, integrating Claude Code through a Tasks tool and MCP servers for analysis, testing, debugging, and review. AI-assisted development may send code and prompts to the selected provider; AI configuration can be left disabled to avoid this. The free trial offers the full Pro experience for 30 days. Listed paid licenses include Wing Classic Annual at $69 a year and Wing Pro Annual at $179 a year; Pro requires a Claude Code subscription.
