PyTogether

What PyTogether is

PyTogether is a free, open-source Python IDE and collaborative editor that runs in a web browser. It is designed for pair programming, interviews, learning, and teaching. Collaborators can see one another type, select, and edit code in real time, and draw over code to mark logic flows. Projects include built-in voice calls and chat; users can create groups, invite people with a pass code, and manage projects. The browser environment runs CPython 3.13 through Pyodide and WebAssembly. NumPy, pandas, matplotlib, and SciPy are pre-installed, while other imports are installed automatically when needed. Projects save automatically every minute and when users exit. A read-only iframe can embed code, the console, and plots in a blog or learning platform. The listed Free plan costs nothing, with no credit card and instant access. Code intelligence is listed as basic. GUI libraries such as Pygame and Tkinter are not supported because PyTogether runs in the browser using WebAssembly. The site says Jawad Rizvi designed, deployed, and developed PyTogether entirely.

Who it suits

PyTogether suits people collaborating on Python code for programming practice, interviews, teaching, or learning. Its browser-based setup also supports sharing read-only code, console, and plot embeds.

Limits

The Free plan costs nothing. The browser-based WebAssembly environment does not support GUI libraries such as Pygame and Tkinter, and code intelligence is basic.

Getting started

1. Open the PyTogether website in a browser
2. Start with the Free plan for free
3. Use instant access without a credit card
4. Create a group and invite collaborators with a pass code

Verdict

PyTogether pairs browser-based Python coding with real-time collaboration and project communication at no listed cost. Its WebAssembly environment does not support GUI libraries such as Pygame and Tkinter.
