How to share/implement your python script with others who do not have any background in code

Hello all,

I have written a python script that takes input from a user and scrapes a website for the search results that are similar to the input given.

I want to share the script with the rest of my team but most of them do not have any background in coding. I was trying to think of an easy solution to overcome this barrier. So far this is what I have:

  1. Pycharm. I would have to install Pycharm on each of my coworkers PC. Then show the basics of running a script. Also PyCharm is not free.

  2. Create a GUI using python. I would have to learn a specific module and do all of this from scratch, and still have to install python on all computers. I am a new coder myself, therefore this may take some time to actually implement.

  3. Google app engine? I remember reading about it something. Not sure how it works. If someone has some insight it would be very helpful.

Thank you for looking into this!

Hi Mr Sri

If i have understood this correctly, you want every one in your team to be able to run the script without having to install python on every machine. Why not use a online IDE https://c9.io/, upload your script, everyone use the same login and do it that way. To work in a team normally i would recommend git or github but that would mean knowledge of git and python being installed.

Hope this helps
