Trinket.io is shutting down.
I'm kind of bummed. It doesn't seem possible to spin up your own version on a local server so I need to decide what to do for fifth grade python programming by the end of the summer.
The head of IT put me on to trinket... I didn't like that it was an IDE in a browser. But It was clean.
Please don't tell me "just install linux on 300 chromebooks."
That would be nice, but it's not in my control. I could ask IT to add apps to the the chromebooks however.
@futurebird I don't know how much freedom you have but I taught a one week course on just general coding but we used python, and i have resources here:

apple laptops are pretty easy to do command line stuff on even with all of the security software.
I'm very happy with the macbooks in that way.
@futurebird @nazokiyoubinbou It's odd to me that I don't hear more people talking about this. Apple computers are pretty great for programming and especially web dev in my experience: you get a unix-like terminal environment, but you can also use all the corporate software you want. It's a bit heretical to say, but this ends up functionally being linux that will run adobe software natively, which is very useful to some people (AKA, me when I was doing front end web dev)

@futurebird Also I love linux but at least computers running macOS can hibernate properly, boom roasted

Search python in browser and try some more... there are kinda too many options.
another option would be to set up jupyterlab on a server and let the kids work with jupyter notebooks.

That is a bummer!
Perhaps one of these could help?

I guess my original post is kind of unclear. What I'm trying to get away from are web apps.
That's what I mean by "I didn't like that it was an IDE in a browser."
Though we may land on something like this if I can't find a better alternative.
