Write and run Python code online. Experiment, learn, and prototype instantly. No setup required.
Install any package from PyPI, not limited to this list
Free Online Python Playground & Sandbox
PlayCode's Python playground is the perfect environment to experiment with Python code. Unlike traditional setups that require installing Python, pip, and configuring virtual environments, this Python sandbox runs entirely in your browser, just open and start coding. Ideal for learning, testing algorithms, data science experiments, and quick prototyping.
Why Use a Python Playground?
A Python playground removes all the friction from coding:
- No installation: Skip downloading Python, configuring PATH, or setting up venv
- Instant feedback: See output immediately after running
- Safe experimentation: Test code without affecting your system
- Learn by doing: Try examples and modify them instantly
- Share easily: Show code to others without setup
Features
Python 3.12
Latest Python with all modern features: f-strings, walrus operator, match statements.
100% Private
Code runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
Visualizations
Matplotlib, Plotly, and other visualization libraries work out of the box.
300+ Packages
NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn, and many more via micropip.
VS Code Editor
Same editor as VS Code with syntax highlighting, autocomplete, and error markers.
Works Offline
After initial load, code and run without internet.
Perfect for Learning Python
This Python sandbox is ideal for beginners learning the language. Try these concepts:
name = "Alice" age = 25 price = 19.99 is_active = True print(f"Name: {name}") print(f"Age: {age}") print(f"Price: ${price}")
numbers = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] squares = [x**2 for x in numbers] print("Squares:", squares) evens = [x for x in numbers if x % 2 == 0] print("Even numbers:", evens)
def factorial(n): if n <= 1: return 1 return n * factorial(n - 1) class Calculator: def add(self, a, b): return a + b calc = Calculator() print(f"5! = {factorial(5)}") print(f"2 + 3 = {calc.add(2, 3)}")
Data Science Ready
The Python playground comes with popular data science libraries:
import numpy as np import matplotlib.pyplot as plt x = np.linspace(0, 2 * np.pi, 100) y = np.sin(x) plt.figure(figsize=(10, 4)) plt.plot(x, y, 'b-', linewidth=2) plt.title('Sine Wave') plt.xlabel('x') plt.ylabel('sin(x)') plt.grid(True) plt.show()
Python Playground vs Local Setup
While local Python is great for production, a Python playground excels at:
