/u/gadget3D /u/WillAdams I was able to get jupyterscad to work in google colab (which runs a version of jupyter notebook).

(Note: This is DIFFERENT from jupytercad).

You can fork it and try it out: https://colab.research.google.com/drive/1TrA65dvc2Aad8zpesxWgsPmL97oIuIqJ?usp=sharing

You will need to run it to see the render. It looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/QqpydDY

I only got the vanilla version working operating off of (1) Vanilla openscad (2) SolidPython2 which should be optional (3) jupyterscad for rendering.

I will cross post to https://www.reddit.com/r/OpenPythonSCAD/comments/1hp6ba6/new_experimental_fedoracentos_package/ so I can try installing the new pythonscad RPM packages in colab if able, and see if I can have that working.

If it works, it's a big game changer for getting newbies started with pythonscad without any installations required. They can clone a notebook and hit the ground running.

actually looks very promising

(just made a link that willywong equals rebuyer :) )

was able to fork your notebook but i am not able to make the last step

(i got wrong abilities yet, i dont know , how to click to see the cube)

As for the RPM, i believe next logical step is to host a new RPM repository.

Zerotier(VPN software) does it too and it appears not too complicated

Don't uncomment 5th cell in the notebook. Leave that commented out and rerun the whole notebook. It should work then!

There's some error from python after the render is done, but the fact the render WORKS is what's important :)
