Surface IDLE or Online IDLE

Guest
Go to solution Solved by CornOnJacob,

You can use Codecademy Labs, but you will probably need to copy + paste the code (you can't upload a file)

Hey, so I'm new to the world of programming, done a fair bit of HTML and CSS before, but started Python earlier this week and loving it so far. So I've grabbed a book from the library and spending time on it at home as well as at work on my surface. The only thing is, when I'm using my Surface I can't use the Python IDLE like on my desktop. I've tried Python for Metro, but it wont allow me run scripts I write in Code Witter (Saved as .py of course). So is there an online IDLE / Emulator anyone can recommend so I can run my scripts when on my surface in work (My job has a lot of sitting around...).

 

Thanks guys,

James

That's not a problem, thanks!

There is an IDE called wing that has a built in python interpreter. really simple code execution (like pressing a button to run your script). and a decent (not really, but its there if your desperate) debugger.

 

It was recommended in my intro cs class, but frankly I would not bother actually writing any code in it. the ide itself is terrible. Just use a nice text editor, add in a bunch of python plugins, to write code. then open wing and load the code for execution.
