I ♥ Py - home

Before I can even test it out, it asks for Google account permissions - and that's where I stopped.

Don't ask for permissions before I can even play with it.

A few notes:

I liked the presentation, swanky.

I liked it a lot less that this required permissions to my google account, I don't like doing that, reluctantly gave it my alt. Why is this necessary?

Your linked personal website is down.

I think I like this anyway. Kudos. Will play with it some and report back.

Edit: nope, don't bother - this is just a funny skin for an iPython notebook, the tutorial goes nowhere.

I'm sorry, but using this site is giving me a headache.

(I'm reminded of crazy full-page animated flash apps.)

I ♥ Py, but I ♥ my privacy more ...

Why on earth do you need my Google acoount permissions? And what does this offer me that any other online compiler walkthrough doesn't? You need to concentrate on that rather than swankyness (which clearly, this site gets right!)

But if Python really ♥'d you back, it'd at least attempt to offer something resembling first-class Unicode support.

Try http://www.python.org/download/releases/3.3.0/

Thanks; I'll give it a whirl.

This is a rather unfair comment given the huge efforts that have gone into python 3 and migration of big projects like Django. Unicode support is clearly an important issue for the python community.

You're probably right, and I've had to apologize to Python a number of times in the past. So let this be another. I'm still a bit scarred from a certain 2.7-era experience, so presumably you can empathize.

Wow, that website is annoying to use. Even if it wasn't glitchy, it would still be pretty annoying I think.

Broken HTML, demands Google login. Flagged.

I think the criticism is all too negative. If you click instructions it says the app is pre-beta. I like these compiler in your browser walk through tutorials. Just wanted to say I think this has potential.

agreed :)

This is ridiculously unusable.
