This is great. Many times I wanted to showcase to colleagues who don't use Python how things would work in Python, but they don't have either Python or Jupyter installed. So I had to run Jupyter server in my own environment and give them access to it. This is quite an inconvenience as well as a security risk. Having a completely server-less Python/Jupyter environment should make this kind of showcasing much easier.

Why not show them the basics in https://repl.it/ or something similar?

You could also use a Jupyter notebook uploaded to colab.research.google.com

I'll chime in to mention notebooks.azure.com as well.

(Typical disclaimer, I'm a dev on the azure notebooks team; we just try to solve exactly the scenario GP was asking so I would be remiss to not throw our hat in the ring)

Do they have Docker? Jupyter maintains a few docker images with various parts of the scientific stack.

How and why would they have docker and not python. Docker's like 10 rungs up the skill ladder.

If they're working with a different stack that includes docker?
