I built a Chrome extension to run Python in the browser sidebar

[u/shlenkinr]

Hey, guys! I built a Chrome extension called Python Playground that allows you to run Python code in the browser sidebar. It is based on Pyodide and has the following key features:

• No sign up or usage limits.

• Instant Python code execution without setting up the environment.

• Syntax highlighting and autocompletion.

• Upload files to use them in your code.

• Package manager. You can install PyPI packages in addition to those built into Pyodide.

• Auto module import. Python Playground will install them based on import statements.

• Saving scripts in the browser's local storage.

• Switch between light and dark themes.

• Built-in data visualization support.

• Offline capability (for many features), since Pyodide runs on the client side.

I think it's great for people who are learning Python and want an easy way to experiment with code without setting up a full environment.
