Research direction

Start by locating the web editor's existing import path for Python code from an encoded URL, then compare its format with the generator described in the linked Python gist. Done means the editor has a share button that creates the compatible encoded URL and makes it available to pass to other people.

Description

There is code in the web editor to import python code from an encoded URL, but there isn't an implementation to actually create this URL. It would be useful to have a "share" button to generate the URL and pass it along to other people.

I've written such a generator in Python (https://gist.github.com/eduvik/9a3fd4c62624ea103b5eb622ac67c311) , but it would be nice to have it built in to the editor
