Python Interpreter Backend (FastAPI)

Overview

This backend is a demonstration of the restricted package in action — built using FastAPI.

It showcases the use of restricted's default configuration to safely evaluate user-submitted Python code with custom import restrictions and structured error handling. The API provides an endpoint to submit code and receive output, making it ideal for quick browser-based coding.

Demo

The frontend of this demo is hosted in Vercel.
