Python Playground
Run Python code in an isolated playground directory for testing and experimentation.
Instructions
- First, ensure the playground directory exists. If the
playground directory doesn't already exist, run mkdir playground.
- Use the Write tool to create the Python file at
playground/test.py
- Run with:
uv run playground/test.py to test cpython behavior or cargo run -- playground/test.py to test monty behavior
IMPORTANT: Use separate tool calls for each step - do NOT chain commands with &&. This allows the pre-approved commands to work without prompting.
Example workflow
Step 1 - Create directory if it doesn't already exist (Bash, already allowed):
mkdir playground
Step 2 - Write code (use Write tool, not cat):
Write to playground/test.py:
def foo():
raise ValueError('test')
foo()
Step 3 - Run script (Bash, already allowed):
uv run playground/test.py
Guidelines
- The
playground/ directory is gitignored
- Use a different file name for each test you want to run, give the files recognizable names like
test_value_error.py
- Use
uv run ... to run scripts (uses project Python)
- Or,
cargo run -- ... to run scripts using Monty
- Use Write tool for creating files (avoids permission prompts)
- Run mkdir and uv as separate commands (not chained)
- do NOT delete files from playground after you've finished testing
