Tonymacx86.com: Home of the CustoMac Buyer’s Guide, iBoot, MultiBeast, UniBeast, and the world’s most helpful #hackintosh #mac #osx support community. TextWrangler's best-of-class features include 'grep' (regular-expression) pattern matching, search and replace across multiple files, function navigation and syntax coloring for numerous source code languages, code folding, FTP and SFTP open and save, AppleScript, Mac OS X Unix scripting support, and much more. As TextWrangler is available to download in Mac App Store, some of you may get it installed by this way, and here’s the alternative way to uninstall TextWrangler. Access to Launchpad, and type TextWrangler in the search box at the top. Niresh Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 is Apple’s desktop and server operating system with an elegant design which will give you a fresh new look. It is loaded with the new features for all the applications which you use on everyday basis.
I'm new to all of this, starting from scratch, and looking for the current best alternative for Mac OS X 10.11 for TextWrangler now that it's discontinued.

TextWrangler was always a feature-subset of the paid, full-featured BBEdit, from barebones.
Without a paid license, BBEdit runs just like TextWrangler & is a direct replacement for it.

Same maker, same look, same feature-set, opens all your saved documents, runs without an added license. The only action you need to do is install the app.

I switched to Atom. A free editor with a ton of options. It is very good if you plan on programming. For just writing memos and things like that I now use TextEdit which comes with OSX.

Several of my developers swear by Brackets.
There's also the venerable TextSoap.

I have removed Python 2.7 from my machine, using instructions provided here: How to uninstall Python 2.7 on a Mac OS X 10.6.4? (Using the top voted/accepted answer's instructions)
However, when I run my scripts using TextWrangler and look at some of the errors generated, it is still indicating that the error originated from Python 2.7 directory, which I have already deleted, and can't see it using ls.
Mac Os X 10.10.5 Update
Any idea how to force TextWrangler to run Python 3 instead?
I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on MacBook Pro mid 2012.

As the root of your question seems to be, 'How can I run scripts via TextWrangler in Python 3 (rather than 2.7)?', I'll provide an answer to that. (Please let me know if I've misunderstood).
As I'm not sure how you've chosen to install Python 3, I'd suggest working with Homebrew and installing
python
and python3
with the command brew install python python3
once you've gotten Homebrew up and running. Homebrew defaults to installing software to
/usr/local/bin/
, so make sure that is present in your PATH
variable. Mac Os X 10.10 Download
Programs for large text files on mac. Once Python 3 is installed, you can create a new TextWrangler document and enter the following code to test:
Then, run the script by going to #! -> Run in the TextWrangler menu (see attached image).
The output (shown in a new window by default) should give you your system and Python information. In my case, the results were:
Alternately, you can directly input the path to your
python3
executable in line 1 (/usr/local/bin/python3
is the default for Homebrew). Dustin WheelerDustin Wheeler
