About this playground

The Python playground gives you a Linux machine with Python 3, pip, venv, uv, pipx and build tools, and VS Code open in your browser. Create a virtual environment, install libraries, and write and run a script from the terminal. You have root access, and the machine is deleted when the session ends.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free online Python environment?

Yes. With a free account you open a machine with Python 3 and VS Code in your browser, for 60-minute sessions. When one ends you can start another straight away.

Can I install libraries with pip?

Yes. pip, venv, uv and pipx are all there, and you have root access on the machine.

Do I need Python on my computer?

No. Python and VS Code run on the machine you open; all you need is a browser.

Is my code saved?

No. The machine is deleted when the session ends. Push your work to a Git repository before the time runs out.
