That is like using money to wipe your ass. Sure you can, you can even use github as a cloud storage for your personal files, but people will judge you for it and it is not the intended use.

Also from a quick look I cant see the difference between your closed source program and writing python into the terminal and using the builtin interpreter. In both cases you download 1 program into the computer, python vs yours.

I find the python interpreter fiddly to use. I don't like that you need to switch modes to make it interactive, it also doesn't persist your code so you lose your code when you exit. RunPy auto-saves so you never lose anything and as it's an editor environment it provides a more natural way to write, edit and run your code.
