Web Python Tool

Purpose & Audience: The Web Python Tool provides a browser-based Python execution and analysis environment for developers, data scientists, and SEO professionals to prototype algorithms, transform data, and validate results within web workflows. It removes local setup barriers and supports rapid iteration on small scripts used in dashboards, content automation, and data preprocessing.
Core Logic & Features: Runs Python in a sandboxed environment with strict isolation. Required features include code execution, stdout/stderr capture, return value reporting, configurable timeouts, and Python version selection. Optional features include templates, JSON/CSV data import, and simple plotting or structured outputs. Security measures disable network access and limit file I/O to protect host systems.
Inputs & Outputs: Inputs consist of code (string, required), input_data (string/JSON, optional), python_version (e.g., 3.8 or 3.11; required), timeout_seconds (optional), and memory_limit (optional). Outputs include stdout, stderr, a return_value, and execution_time_ms; structured results may be returned as JSON when applicable.
Algorithms & Calculations: The interpreter operates under a sandbox policy with restricted builtins and AST-based checks to detect disallowed constructs. IO is captured via redirection and emitted alongside the return value. Exceptions are serialized with type and message. Timeouts generate deterministic errors; syntax errors provide diagnostic details. Results can be serialized for programmatic consumption.
Assumptions & Exclusions: Not a full Python runtime; long-running tasks, network access, or file system operations are out of scope. Localization defaults to English, and results are provided in standard JSON-friendly formats for cross-region use.
