Real python, made of blocks
summary
A block-based editor called Split Code already runs real CPython in the browser and generates editable Python while letting users drag blocks or type with autocomplete. It continuously reruns code so students see a string-vs-number bug and a repeated-string multiplication immediately — a continuous auto-replay that exposes state without prints or a debugger. The editor forbids common syntax mistakes, limits infinite loops, and aims to support imports and methods work plus MicroPython and sharing, but it remains a work in progress.
