Scintilla and Tide
![]() |
The license for using Scintilla is similar to that of Python containing very few restrictions.
You can download a ZIP file (180K) containing the
C++ source code and executables for Scintilla and Tide.
This is a beta version
and as such is likely to escape from the confines of its carefully
contrived control path to crash and burn.
After downloading the file, unzip it, and run Tide.EXE. The files required to run Tide
are Tide.EXE, Scintilla.DLL, and
TideGlobal.properties
and these are best located in one directory on the path.
To see a demonstration of some more of Scintilla's features open the
demo.pyro file which changes Tide into demonstration mode.
The previous release, 0.82, can also be downloaded.
There is also a smaller download that just contains Scintilla.DLL 0.82 which can be copied into the Python\PythonWin directory to upgrade the version installed by PythonWin build 124.
