InscriPython: A Simple In-Browser Python IDE

I’m thrilled to share my latest project InscriPython, a lightweight tool that lets you write and run Python code right in your web browser. No downloads or installations are needed!

Why I Created It

Many existing IDEs are powerful but often overwhelming for simple tasks. I wanted to create a tool that was straightforward and user-friendly, allowing anyone, from beginners to experienced programmers, to jump right in without any complicated setup. InscriPython can be your quick playground to learn, experiment and validate your ideas.

Features

  • Pyodide: allows Python code to run in a web browser. I tested basic Python commands to ensure everything was working smoothly.
  • CodeMirror: as the code editor.
  • Running Code: functions to execute the code entered in the editor. This involved using Pyodide to run the Python code and capturing the output to display in the console.
  • File Management: file handling features, allowing users to open and save Python scripts. This required using the browser’s file API to read and write files.

The app is deployed on GitHub Pages.

Try InscriPython

  • No Installation Needed: Just open the website and start coding
  • Learn and Experiment: Easily test new ideas and learn Python without the hassle of complex IDE setups

I hope you enjoy using InscriPython as much as I enjoyed building it! You can try InscriPython here. View source on GitHub.

Cherish what truly matters

When I Leave the World Behind Remix

The desire to be remembered fondly and to leave a positive mark.

Lyrics

I know a millionaire who’s burdened down with care
A load is on his mind
He’s thinking of the day when he must pass away
And leave his wealth behind
I haven’t any gold to leave when I grow old
Somehow it passed me by
I’m very poor, but still I leave a precious will
When I must say goodbye
I leave the sunshine to the flowers
I leave the springtime to the trees
And to the old folks, I leave the memories of a baby upon their knees
I leave the nighttime to the dreamers
I leave the songbirds to the blind
I leave the moon above to those in love
When I leave the world behind
When I leave the world behind
I leave the sunshine to the flowers
I leave the springtime to the trees
And to the old folks, I leave the memories
Of a baby, a baby on their knees
I leave the nighttime to the dreamers
I leave the songbirds to the blind
I leave moon above to those in love
When I leave the world behind
When I leave the world behind
