I have installed secure shell app but it wants me to connect to something and my email address is not it.

I  went through the same task of trying to run Python on a Chromebook.
I think it will be completely unsatisfactory.

My solution was twofold.

I run Python command line on a Linux laptop, both via ssh command line from the Chromebook, and via Google Remote Desktop to that Linux box.

I also run Chrome Remote Desktop to a Windows 10 box, which is the more prevalent installation for classes that I attended.

I use the Chromebook as my interface as much as possible, although sometimes I do go into the room with the three Windows monitors for ease of use.

If you don't have any computers at home, I would suggest a free Azure or AWS account, with Remote Desktop Android app on the Chromebook, or Chrome Remote Desktop. The free accounts are sufficient for a Linux system, but the AWS at least, doesn't have sufficient disk space at the free level to run a fully featured Windows system.

Great thanks Clarence . I will try the AWS virtual option . I am an old ICL VME programmer so it will be interesting to see how virtual I can be and eventually run python.

Thanks Mike,

Looks very interesting but unfortunately my  Chromebook is to old to support Linux so using an online Python interpreter until I get new hardware.
