'Programming with Python using Chrome OS

I just recently bought an Acer Chromebook 11 and I would like to do some Python programming on it. How do I run Python from a USB stick on an Acer Chromebook 11? (Also, I don't have access to wifi at the place I want to use it.)



Solution 1:[1]

On some chromebooks, like the one I'm using now, there is a Linux(beta) option in the options menu. Alternatively, you can use repl.it instead, although be aware that playing sound and using geocoder will work server-side instead, so the sound will not play, and the ip adress will be in New York.

Solution 2:[2]

  1. Click "Settings>Linux(beta)>Turn On".
  2. Run "App Launcher>Terminal".
  3. Type python -v or python3 -v.
  4. If Python is not installed, download Python source file in https://www.python.org/downloads/source/.
  5. Compile .tgz file.

If you have problems, try https://ide.goorm.io/. It is a web compiler for many programming languages, including Python. It has Linux command line too.
