How to share a python progran with a potential client through the internet

I am attempting to get a freelance job and wrote a proof of concept program to show the logic required for the clients request. The client knows very little about programming, so I feel like sending the code isn't the most suitable option; is there any way to put python code online and simply link the client to it? I'd prefer the code to be unseen to them for the time being, but if they must be able to see it that is alright.

Could you just use a screen sharing app like join me or goto meeting? That way you could walk them through the code as you provide a demonstration.

It's really difficult to answer this without more information.

You say you want to put the code online, but you don't want the client to be able to see it? If you want to demonstrate what the code does, that's probably possible. But without knowing what that is, I'm not sure anyone can offer you a solution beyond a Python Playground (where they would be able to see the code) or a screen sharing program like KRIS NIKOLAISEN suggested.

Sorry, definitely a rushed post! I ended up using a trinket(https://trinket.io/) Yeah, I wanted to demonstrate what the code and let them interact with it, but not show them the code! Thank all!
