Hello,

I would like to seek help on How can I install Python Idle on the laptops in our School ICT laboratories. I have installed the app using the Administrator account, by the way our laptops are connected on a school Network, Kindly please help me.

I’m assuming the laptops use Windows. For each laptop:

  1. Put the installer on a network drive.
  2. Link each laptop to the network drive.
  3. Run the installer from the network drive or copy it to c:\temp and run it locally, it will probably be faster.

You can also use web-based Python, which doesn’t require installation, like:

  1. Google Colab. If the student needs to read a file that file would have to be uploaded to their workspace/Google Drive.
  2. Jupyter Hub. Designed for multiple users.
  3. PythonAnywhere This costs money. Designed for students and teachers. Perhaps they have an educational discount.

Each person would sign up with their own Google account. You even share programs to see if their program works properly.
