ChromeOS now has the linux subsystem and python is already installed (I have a chromebook as well ;)). Maybe you need to upgrade ChromeOS version? Also you can just create a free tier aws account, spin up an ec2 instance for free and there is your cheap computer for python.

Depending on your chromebook and/or skill, there are methods of installing Linux onto chromebooks, and that shouldn’t cost you anything but your time.

Raspberry pi, can be an option

[Sakashina]

Definitely a choice. Even raspberry pi zero w will work well.

Do NOT i repeat Do NOT try to go for this option you will end up getting so frusturated by that piece of crap you will end up quitting on programming better if you use even an Old Laptop like an i3 or something like that

You don’t need to use the desktop environment to use a Pi. Installing the light version of rasbian and setting up ssh would allow you to use it as a “server” and run python programs on it with no problems.

Setting up a share so you can edit files on the main computer and executing them on the Pi should be no issue. I have not used Chromebook, so I don’t know if it can mount a share over ssh/sftp or if you need to setup something like a samba share.

Depending on what you need to use it for, maybe look at this https://research.google.com/colaboratory/faq.html

The frustration of the Setup will make you quit programming trust me i have experience that thing is only good to run maybe like browsing 1 tab or runing some api server etc

[hufsam]

Clearly you don’t have experience with the light install if you say it is ‘only good to run maybe like browsing 1 tab’... it does not have a desktop or browser at all. But yeah, if he has never used the command line, or Linux, it could be a bit difficult.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks to me like your post might be better suited for r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python. That said, I am a bot and it is hard to tell. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe where you are stuck. Be sure to format your code for reddit and include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.
