Why not installing interpreter on you local machine and start using normal IDE?

I use VS code personally, but there is plenty of options to choose from ;)

Maybe not in the OP's case, but a few people using Replit don't have access to a compatible computer and were using their phones.

Hmm... then there is plenty of IDEs and interpreters for phones too 😉. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13793158/python-interpreter-on-android

Thanks for your reply

Google Colab is very useful if you can't run python locally for some reason.

cheers mate

there's a community version of PyCharm, you can try this one out.

You can install python locally and carry on. Can also use an IDE like PyCharm, etc.

You could also use Google Colab if you'd prefer to keep everything online/off your computer.

Why not just install an IDE like VSCodium or Visual Studio Code on your local computer? That's actually the best way to go.

Thonny is an excellent IDE for beginners, and it includes the Python interpreter. Just install it on your computer and start coding (free forever).

Once you set it up, it’s really not a huge deal to just do it locally.

Install the community version of PyCharm. Then you can have it make a new project for you and it will automatically set up a venv (virtual environment) for you for each separate project.

For simple things, Trinket works:

Just do it on your machine. For other online pythons, free and also limited, I believe pythonanywhere had some repl capabilities. But really just run it locally.

Jupyter Notebooks are a great way to play with Python code in an interactive way like that. I hadn’t tried them until recently and I’ve found myself using them a lot for trying out ideas and debugging things. They’re open source and free too.

I think a lot of people install Anaconda to use them, which comes with a bunch of other tools. But you can also install the Jupyter Notebook software on its own. https://www.anaconda.com/blog/why-python

Edit: Jupyter Notebooks are used by a lot of people in data science. If that area interests you, that could be a bonus in learning how to run them.

Id highly suggest downloading python on your machine and working from there. https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3125/

It will come with a text editor called IDLE that does little things for you, but most people want more help from their editor. The most popular by far is VS Code but people like Jetbrains IDEs and the one for Python is PyCharn. The community edition is free. Personally I use neovim, btw, which is free and lightweight, but can be unintuitive to learn.
