    <paragraph role="paragraph" id="N0106">Unlike Basic language macros development in %PRODUCTNAME, developing Python scripts for %PRODUCTNAME requires to configure an external Integrated Development Environment (IDE). Multiple IDEs are available that range from beginners to advanced Python coders. While using a Python IDE programmers benefit from numerous features such as syntax highlighting, code folding, class browsing, code completion, coding standard enforcement, test driven development, debugging, version control and many more. You can refer to <link href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Macros/Python_Design_Guide" name="Designing &amp; Developing Python Applications">Designing &amp; Developing Python Applications</link> on the Wiki for more in-depth information about the setup of a bridge between your IDE and a running instance %PRODUCTNAME.</paragraph>
