 Editors

To write any programs, you need an Editor. Text Editors are usually provided by the operating system; for example Windows provides notepad and Linux provides Gedit. Although you can use any text editor to write a program you can get some advanced and added features for a programs like "Pretty Printing".

 

Compilers

Compilers turn High-level languages like Python into Machine Instructions so it is easier for the CPU to execute. They do not often come supplied with an operating system, but they are still regarded by some as system software because they are not applications designed to do a specific task for the user.

 

Interpreters

Interpreters also translate High-Level code into machine code ,but they do so a line at a time and execute the code as they go. They are useful for debugging programs because they give an instant result.
