Is Webflow compatible with Python and can I embed Python code or Jupyter notebooks in Webflow?

Webflow is primarily a web design and development platform that allows you to create and host websites without the need for coding. While it supports a wide range of integrations and functionalities, it does not directly support the embedding of Python code or Jupyter notebooks.

However, there are workarounds that you can employ to incorporate Python or Jupyter notebooks into your Webflow site. Here's how:

  1. Embedding Python Code: You can use a Python code hosting service or a cloud-based Python compiler to display Python code snippets on your Webflow site. Simply write your Python code, save it to a file, and host it on a platform like GitHub or GitLab. Then, use the embed code feature in Webflow to add the code snippet to your site. Users visiting your site will be able to see and interact with your Python code.

  2. Embedding Jupyter Notebooks: To embed Jupyter notebooks in Webflow, you can convert your notebook to an HTML file or a PDF and host it on a cloud storage platform like Dropbox or Google Drive. Once you have the publicly accessible link to your notebook file, you can use the embed code feature in Webflow to add it to your site. Users will be able to view and interact with your Jupyter notebooks directly on your Webflow site.

While these workarounds allow you to include Python and Jupyter notebooks in your Webflow site, it's important to note that you won't be able to execute or run Python code directly within Webflow. The code will be static, and any output or interactivity will need to be pre-rendered or handled externally.

In summary, although Webflow doesn't have built-in support for embedding Python code or Jupyter notebooks, you can still incorporate them into your site by leveraging external hosting platforms and using the embed code feature in Webflow.
