Visual Python is a GUI-based Python code generator, developed on the Jupyter Notebook as an extension.
Visual Python is an open source project started for students who struggle with coding during Python classes for data science.
Try Visual Python if you would like to:
- manage big data with minimal coding skills.
- help students / business analysts / researchers to overcome learning barriers for Python.
- save & reuse repeatedly used codes(snippets).
Visual Python is a Jupyter Notebook extension.
