Sharing Your Code

Python Online makes it simple to share your Python scripts with others. Whether you’re showcasing your work, collaborating on a project, or seeking help, the platform provides a streamlined sharing experience using unique, secure links.

How to Share Code

1. Write Your Code:

   Complete your script in the editor.

2. Generate a Shareable Link:

   Click the Share Button () in the toolbar above the editor. The platform uploads your code to a secure backend and generates a unique link.

3. Copy and Share:

   The shareable link will appear in a pop-up window. Click the Copy Link button to copy it to your clipboard. Share the link via email, chat, or social media.

Opening a Shared Link

Open the shared link in any modern browser. The code will load directly into the editor, ready for viewing, editing, and execution.

Code Size and Limitations

Code Size:

Each shared snippet can contain up to 30,000 characters. For larger scripts, consider breaking them into multiple files and sharing them as separate links.

Security:

Shared links are secure and accessible only to those with the link. To prevent misuse, avoid sharing sensitive or confidential code.

Examples of Use

1. Collaborate with Teammates:

   Share your script for feedback or further development.

2. Ask for Help:

   Post the link in forums or chat groups to get suggestions or debug errors.

3. Showcase Projects:

   Share your completed scripts on social media or with potential employers.

Troubleshooting Sharing Issues

1. Error Generating Link:

   Ensure you’re connected to the internet.

   Verify that the script doesn’t exceed the 30,000-character limit.

2. Invalid Link:

   If a link fails to load, confirm the link was copied correctly.

The original script might have been removed if it was shared long ago.

Tips for Effective Sharing

Use Clear Comments: Add comments to explain your code for collaborators or viewers.

Test Before Sharing: Run your script to ensure it works as expected.
