how the heck do i run simple python code in phoenix?

[olitomar]

I can see the live preview for the html file, but i don't see a terminal or even the "run" button to run code and see the output. Help!

Do you want the code to run on your own computer that is running the browser with phoenix, or on a remote webserver? If the latter, you need the webserver to be running Node.js. You need to launch a shell running within javascript:
Check out http://www.devdoc.net/web/developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Shells.html
Or, if you have remote ssh access to the server just run python there.
Another approach is to set up a template engine like Jinja2 to run python in the web server.

I think I understand less now. Could you dumb it down for me a bit, please?

I'll rephrase my question: how do i make the green play button appear on phoenix when i have a python file open?

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you wanted to run a python-driven website built using Phoenix. You cannot directly run a python program that you have edited with Phoenix from inside the Phoenix editor. Try this instead: https://eric-ide.python-projects.org/
which is specifically for editing python projects.

Thanks for your help. I will do that!
