24 alternatives to Python Playground
Hey HN! I built Python Playground, a Chrome extension that gives you a ready-to-use Python environment right in your browser - no installation needed. It runs Python locally via Pyodide (WebAssembly) with most popular libraries included out of the box, plus a package manager to install additional modules from PyPI. The environment supports inline data visualization with Matplotlib and Plotly, file upload/download through a sandboxed filesystem, and the ability to save and reload snippets. Everything executes entirely on the client, so it works offline and nothing ever leaves your…

Hi all! A little background: I've been working on natto.dev, a spatial environment for JavaScript. I'm really excited about new interfaces for code (leveraging metaphors we're good at, spatial reasoning, making state visible, design tools, etc). With all the buzz around PyScript, I discovered Pyodide and got it working inside natto. This Python version is a stripped down version of https://natto.dev (eg interactive outputs, multiplayer) so please check that out if this interests you. I'm excited to share this spatial environment for Python. Imagine Jupyter cells arranged on a 2D…

Hey HN, I’m Jimmy, co-founder of Dropbase (https://www.dropbase.io). We are an internal tools builder for Python developers. All you have to do is import any Python scripts/libraries, declare UI components, and layer app permissions so you can share them with others. We’re a middle ground between Airplane and Retool—simpler UI creation than Airplane, more code-centered than Retool. UI building is declarative and you can bind Python scripts/functions to UI components. You can write Python scripts/functions using our App Studio with support from a Python Language…

Hey HN, I just launched this online Python compiler which lets you use popular Python libraries like requests, Matplotlib, Plotly, Pandas, NumPy etc. online. It uses Pyodide to execute Python in the browser using WebAssembly.

We made this extension that lets you run any python code on the web by using Pyodide. You can try it by installing this VSCode extension on GitHub.dev / VSCode.dev. Since it is using pyodide to run python code, there are some limitations which we have listed in the extension’s README page. We made this scrappy extension quickly as a POC for Stanford’s Code in Place program. Let us know if this is interesting and what features should we add next!

RunPy▲15RunPy is a playground app that gives you a quick and easy way to run Python code. There's no need to create files or run anything in the terminal; you don't even need Python set up on your machine. It's handy for learning, teaching or doing quick experiments. Available for mac, windows and linux. Please give it a try, and I'd be really keen to hear any thoughts, feedback or ideas for improvements. Thanks!

Probly was built to reduce context-switching between spreadsheet applications, Python notebooks, and AI tools. It’s a simple spreadsheet that lets you talk to your data. Need pandas analysis? Just ask in plain English, and the code runs right in your browser. Want a chart? Just ask. While there are tools available in this space like TheBricks, Probly is a minimalist, open-source solution built with React, TypeScript, Next.js, Handsontable, Hyperformula, Apache Echarts, OpenAI, and Pyodide. It's still a work in progress, but it's already useful for my daily tasks.
