Python Playground

A small sandbox for experimenting with Python snippets, testing ideas, and exploring libraries without the overhead of a full project setup. Nothing here is meant to be polished—just a place to try things out.

Features

• Minimal structure
• Quick experiments without boilerplate
• Optional virtual environment support
• Space for notebooks, scratch scripts, and prototypes

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/QuantumJunction/PythonPlayground.git
cd PythonPlayground

2. Set up a virtual environment (recommended)

python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate   # Linux/macOS
.venv\Scripts\activate      # Windows

3. Install dependencies (if any)

pip install -r requirements.txt

If no requirements file exists yet, create one when needed:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Structure

Usage

Run any script:

python experiments/<script>.py

Start Jupyter:

jupyter notebook

Guidelines

• Commit only what might be useful later.
• Remove clutter when it stops being useful.
• Keep experiments isolated so they don’t interfere with each other.
