AppEngine：即时运行 Python 代码

Question

Hello Python developers!

I'm a Java one and I know that there is a way of running Java code on the fly, but my question is, is there any way to do that with Python?

The main goal here is to enable middle-school students to start coding with chromebooks from day one on Python.

I've been looking for some resources, but I got nothing so far.

Thanks a lot!

http://shell.appspot.com might be of your interest. (there's a link to the source code too)

Hey, I just recovered a link to a nice page I used in the past. It shows the execution flow of a Python script. Students I taught found it very useful in terms of comparing with other languages they new already, eg Java, how stack and arguments are being passed to the functions, memory allocations, etc:

IPython allows you to run python interactively from a web environment. You can try a demo here: IPython . You can set this up on a local computer and have you students view it from their machines.

Coderbuddy let's you create and run AppEngine applications online, without having to download the AppEngine SDK, Python, or anything for that matter.

I use that when I do workshops, so I don't have to bother with making sure that everyone has the SDK and proper configurations in their machines. We just go straight to coding. :)
