Python Tutor -- http://pythontutor.com/ -- helps people overcome a fundamental barrier to learning programming: understanding what happens as the computer executes each line of a program's source code. Using this tool, you can write Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Ruby, C, and C++ programs in your Web browser and visualize what the computer is doing step-by-step as it executes those programs.

This tool was created by Philip Guo in January 2010. See project history.

All documentation is viewable online at: https://github.com/pgbovine/OnlinePythonTutor/tree/master/v3/docs

BY FAR the most preferred way to use Python Tutor is via the official website, since it contains the latest updates: http://pythontutor.com/

You can use iframe embedding to easily embed visualizations on your webpage.

If you want to run locally on your own computer, to run Python visualizations try:

pip install bottle # make sure the bottle webserver (http://bottlepy.org/) is installed
cd OnlinePythonTutor/v3/
python bottle_server.py

You should see the visualizer at: http://localhost:8003/visualize.html

... and the live programming environment at: http://localhost:8003/live.html

However, it can be hard to run your own visualizer locally for non-Python languages, since there are complex setups in v4-cokapi/ that I haven't yet cleanly packaged up.

For further directions, see Overview for Developers or explore the rest of the docs.
