Workspace lags too much. Is there any other program that will work as Workspace?

Letters would appear on Workspace 3 seconds after I type them. Could you please suggest any other program that I can use to replace Workspace.

Hello Paprawin,

You can use a texteditor such TextWrangler and then run the program in the terminal (on a mac) or the Command Prompt (Windows). You can also use an IDE such as Canopy Enthought that combines a texteditor with a place to run the program. This should work for the basic python courses but I do not know if it will also work for the more advanced python courses here on Treehouse.

Hi, If you're looking for a web based translator workspace this one is quite handy. See bottom of the page - there's a little practice activecode window at the end of each chapter: http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/thinkcspy/GeneralIntro/Comments.html

Hi Paprawin,

[http://repl.it/languages] is a web-based workplace for a couple of languages, but I am not sure if it is more stable.

In my view, your situation depends on several factors, such as Internet speed, too many people who are using workspace of treehouse at same time etc.

Sincerely,

Yes I'm using http://repl.it/languages/Python and I find it works better than workspace. Also you can just paste text straight in to test it rather than calling up the language and your script each time.

You can step through your code bit by bit using this visualiser if you're struggling to see how computer executes a piece of code: http://www.pythontutor.com/visualize.html I find this helpful when I'm not sure which line of code isn't working.

Hope that helps
