Yes, that might be what I would do if I did the workshop again. I still like Repl.it because I think the distinction between the REPL and the file/editor is much easier to grasp there than with IDLE and IDLE's REPL, but running code locally is necessarily going to be more reliable than running code on a remote platform.
- brownbat 8y agoRepl.it is a pretty neat solution too, don't get me wrong. And IDLE has always left me unimpressed relative to the terminal... but using Unicode on Windows, suddenly code pages get involved, which no one should ever have to know. There is a long series of subtle, unpleasant tradeoffs. Writing short Python scripts when I traveled with a Chromebook was messy, I leaned on repl.it as one option... It was super easy to dive in.
