How to Create a Python Project on Replit

‍

This tutorial shows how to set up a new Python project in Replit and organize it for development.

Notes

• You need a Replit account to get started. Sign up at replit.com if you don't have one yet.
• Replit is phasing out Developer Frameworks. If replit.com/developer-frameworks is unavailable, go to your dashboard, click + Create Something New, and describe your project in the prompt - for example, "Create a Python project with Flask installed." The Agent will set up the environment automatically.
  

1. Sign in to your account at replit.com and go to replit.com/developer-frameworks. Choose Python from the list.
2. Click Remix. When the Privacy option prompts, choose the default (Public) and click Use Framework.
3. Wait for Replit to set up the environment, then click the Open Files icon in the top-right corner and click File tree.
4. Review the generated project structure - by default, Replit creates a main.py file and a pyproject.toml for managing dependencies.
5. Click main.py to open it in the editor and start writing your Python code - for example, a script that processes a Q3 client report for a SaaS team.
6. To add a package, open the Agent tab and type your request - for example, "Add the pandas library to this project." The Agent installs it and updates your dependencies automatically.
