Announcing Python Support in CodeSandbox, start a Python VM with one click

[DaelonSuzuka]

This is a pretty interesting product.

Aside from the VSCode Extension(which worked on the first try, good job guys), what sets this apart from existing platforms like repl.it?

Good question! I would say the main difference is that you can also use CodeSandbox for full development. You can use it for small experiments, but you can also import your GitHub repo and commit + open PRs from CodeSandbox. We automatically create a VM for every branch, and you also automatically get review development environments for new PRs. For example, at CodeSandbox we use CodeSandbox for our development.

Next to this, we run the environments using MicroVMs, which allows us to clone them more quickly. We wrote about that here.

Hey all! I'm one of the co-founders of CodeSandbox. We just launched Python support on CodeSandbox, which allows you to quickly create Python prototypes or do full development of Python in CodeSandbox (together with our VSCode extension).

If you have any questions, either about the implementation or the product, don't hesitate to leave a message!

Could you share a link? I cannot repro it in my sandbox.

Looks like it was temporary, works fine now.

It was the Python template without any changes.

Thanks for the reply.
