REPL.IT works great for sharing Python examples
Per usual, we're awash in useful tools, many free, but so little time to learn to use them, it seems. And they all keep evolving. Along those lines: REPL.IT, favored by many a Python teacher, yet so little explored by me. Like with LinkedIn and so many of these Web 2.0 tools, we get so many cool features. Make a Python program public, using 3.8.1 (that's very current now in March 2020), runnable code, blog embeddable. Use a Share feature to create a public Notification. Examples, two of mine from today (tested to work fine on Facebook): https://repl.it/talk/share/Python-Decorators-for-Composing-Functions/30054 https://repl.it/talk/share/Computing-Volumes-in-Tetravolumes-S-and-E-Modules... Remember to use Markdown to markup these Notifications (which you can re-edit), same as here on edu-sig where Markdown is the new normal, right? On the first one, I used an embedded asterisk a lot, for Python multiplication, only to discover what I learned about the new edu-sig: Markdown is your friend.

REPL.IT also supports PyGame in the browser, which is very cool. I use it in my coding camps to let the kids write 2D physics simulations using PyPhysicsSandbox. The fact that it's all browser based widens the sorts of labs I can hold the camp in, no installs. Jay
It also has turtle and will save files. Many of my students work full time with shared station computers, so they will use repl.it for their homework instead of PyCharm.
