PythonAnywhere and Education
summary
PythonAnywhere provides cloud Python so classes avoid local installs: web IPython and bash consoles, an editor with linting, centralized pip/package handling, and teacher tools to view or open student accounts and files. It shares consoles (including anonymous console sharing and share consoles read-only), can bulk register users, and lets teachers push starter files. Limitations: no desktop graphics (turtle/pygame). Freemium: free tier (two consoles, ~500 MB, one web app); paid adds more consoles, CPU quota and custom domains. Early usage is a couple dozen teachers and a few hundred students.
