I made a real-time python editor - anyone have any feedback?

Also availible as a VScode extension
(extension not released yet but I am looking for beta testers and would love to send anyone a alpha build)

I posted it previously on reddit and got some good feedback. People were concerned about infinite loops (so I added F1 to restart) and I disabled bracket matching to prevent accidentily executing code (so if the user was typing os.rmdir("C:\importantFolder .... they don't immediately nuke the folder). Unfortunately I'm not able to disable bracket matching in VSCode .... so I'm not sure how to prevent the user from doing stupid stuff.

Interesting! Nice done!

Any chance running this on Linux without Wine? I am not using Windows and want to try it.

You can't prevent user doing stupid stuff. He/she can do the same in the Python interpreter too. It's not up to you.

I just added a linux build for AREPL but I don't have a linux OS to test with, so I'm not sure if it will work. But if you run into any problems I would be happy to fix them.

VScode works on any platform: https://code.visualstudio.com/download
The extension should (theoretically) also work on any platform: https://github.com/Almenon/AREPL-vscode/releases

I make the assumption that python 3 is installed and in your PATH as "python" on windows or "python3" on other OS's.
