While the main functionality is present there are a number of things that can be improved in the future.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I use Python Blocks?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Simple &#8211; drag the blocks from the left onto the screen and connect them up to create a program. This will then generate Python code on the Python tab that can be copied across into Repl.it or any other Python program of your choosing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also trial the code by clicking on the Run button.  This creates an approximate run through of the code using Javascript on the screen.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Help!
