Didn’t they recently remove the ability to run native Z80 binaries in some of their calculators because of concerns of cheating software being distributed? I imagine this will be a pretty locked down Python environment.

My brother used to make C programs and trade them to other kids for $5. He had one for Algebra 2, Physics, and Pre-Calc. Teachers started wiping calculators before tests, but didn’t remove the binary programs he made. Became a big deal.

I made an app that showed a fake 'wiped data' screen. Teachers wouldn't think to actually watch me delete the apps lol
