Automatic indentation for Python in Notepad++

Question

I\'ve been googling lots and this is getting really frustrating. It doesn\'t act like idle.

Example:

else:  
    name = \'World\'
    print \'Howdy\         


        

Answer 1

I've found Notepad++ to live up to the task of being a better basic text editor than Notepad, but it isn't really designed to be as smart as a proper programming IDE.

It might be possible to get it to do what you're asking for, but I certainly don't know how to set it up that way.
