[Chicago] Python in the browser IDE

[Randy Baxley]

First I want to thank the three of you for responding.  I will likely try
poking around the links.  I took the Rice course so the idea I have right
now in mind is based on using Codeskulptor but wishing it had somehow had
at least the libraries of Anaconda that Brian R likes and would somehow
switch from GUI display to web display without too much effort.

http://www.codeskulptor.org/#user29_RMncsWVAGWNhB0f_0.py

Saves for me but I am not sure if that is because I took the class or not.

My final project broke but I sort of fixed it so folks can play with it a
bit if they like.  control with arrows and space bar.

I am wanting to do the same thing where it would just display a GUI that
you could add your 10 favorite bus stops on then one that finds the ten
closest bus stops to wherever you are and gives you directions to them and
the direction buses stopping there are headed.

No sandboxes, please.

As I have studied Python and that has sprung out into observing and
participating in open hardware repair and recycling, Open government, open
data, open OS and others and of course all the new free MOOCS I have wished
the groups, universities and corporations involved could find a common
direction instead of competing.  That is after all why the net has become
so successful.
