PY Viewer for PHP: Open Python Files in a Browser

A PY file holds source code written in the Python language, stored as plain text. Opening one normally means an editor or an interpreter on the machine, which is more than a reviewer, a client or a support agent usually has.

GroupDocs.Viewer Cloud renders the script instead. The file becomes HTML for reading in a browser tab, or PDF, JPG or PNG where a fixed copy is needed, with page navigation, zoom and thumbnails around the output for longer files.

In PHP the SDK is installed with Composer, and a Client ID and Secret authorise the account, so the rendered page can be embedded in an application a user already signed into. Password protected files are accepted when the password is supplied with the request.

The same call covers more than 180 formats, so the viewer that shows a PY script also shows the PDF, spreadsheet or drawing next to it in a file list. The app on this page opens a single PY file with no code at all.

What can I read a PY file as?

HTML is the usual output because it is displayed directly in a browser tab. PDF is the right choice for a copy that must be filed or passed on, and JPG or PNG produce a picture of each page for a preview or a thumbnail.

Can I view other file types with the same code?

Yes. More than 180 formats are rendered by the same request, including PDF, Word documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, archives and images. A PHP application therefore needs one viewing path rather than a separate library for each kind of file.
