Simply open your web browser, navigate to the provided link, and log in to SoloLearn. Here's the direct link to the Python Playground: https://www.sololearn.com/en/compiler-playground/python. This will allow you to write, run, and share Python code directly from your computer's browser.

Brother .. it's doesn't matter .. if you use Mac, Linux, Windows , freebsd .. just install the oficial python interpreter.. and start coding.. python is an interpreted .. language .. yeah .. you can compile python code.. but what the point? After all .. if you choose python .. for programing then you don't really care about speed .. you care for a easy way to do something.. also you can use an online console or interpeter for python that can be used even on phone..

Answer 4

mac comes with a python interpreter (as I know);

you wrote vscode:
open it
install the python extension (it will help you a lot)
CTRL (or command in mac) + SHIFT + P to open the command palette and look after for python interpreter
select the correct one

happy coding! :-)

Answer 5

the other way is to run it from terminal....

for beginners: thonny
built specially for python, comes with an interpreter. just click on the "play" button and it works!

but also you can try Spyder, Wing IDE, Eric, and also PyCharm, .... and so on

if you are a bit lazy and want "everything" out-of-the-box: install anaconda
