[OT] Snakey Problem

[Devin Asay]

Richmond,

One of my colleagues who teaches Python uses a cloud-based service called PythonAnywhere. The basic plan is free for anyone to use. You access it through a web browser. You may find it useful.

Host, run, and code Python in the cloud: PythonAnywhere<https://www.pythonanywhere.com/>

I have just tapped the extent of my Python system knowledge. ;)

Like it or not (and mainly NOT), I have to offer Python to kids this fall . . .

This is a b*gger for several reasons:

1. I love LiveCode.

2. To use Python to any effect apart from rather goofy manipulations with numbers and text an install
requires 'modules' which are usually installed using a daft command-line system using something call
'PIP' [ "Permanently Injurious Python" perhaps? ] . . . which I have signally failed to get to work on either
Macintosh or Linux.

I wonder of anyone knows of a way to install Python 3 on Linux with the main GUI modules "bound in":
i.e. a one-stop install.

Frankly, Python, by using this module system seems to defeat itself to a certain extent: or, maybe I'm just
spoilt by LiveCode.

This question is very timely as Wednesday is Nag Panchami: the day of snakes!

Richmond.
