Canvas now includes an enhanced Python code feature, enabling users to write Python code directly within the interface. If the code contains errors, Canvas flags them and provides suggestions for fixing bugs. For correct code, Canvas runs the script and displays the output directly in the same window.

A Small but important feature is the icon located in the top right corner of the screen, which makes running and debugging code incredibly easy. This makes Canvas a highly effective tool for both novice learners and experienced developers to write tests and refine Python code without leaving the interface.
