Free place to host python files?

[feba]

I'm getting started in python, and it would be helpful to have a place
to put up various code snippets I've made, so I don't have to send
them individually to each person I want to show it to. I'd prefer to
use something that would give me a directory for my use only, instead
of something where you can only upload one at a time. I'd especially
like to avoid stuff that uses CAPTCHAs and/or forced waiting periods.

I'd really rather not have to run a server off my own computer, if it
can be avoided at all.

well, ignoring the fact that pastebin doesn't work for me for some
reason, I'm talking about hosting it as a .py downloadable, not a hunk
of text.

code.google.com?
It also has a SVN repository.

maybe one option is registering in some free project hosting service
like code.google.com

Stuff like code.google, sf.net, are more oriented towards serious
development, not just holding random apps, aren't they?

Anyway, I found MediaFire, which looks like it will suffice for now.

Take a look to Dropbox (http://www.getdropbox.com/).

You can use it to directly share files with your friends or to create
a public link to your files so other people can download them.

I'll plug Bitbucket (http://bitbucket.org/). It gives you 150MB of
Mercurial hosting for free, along with a bug tracker and wiki. And I
hear it's implemented using Django.

Cheers,
Chris

FreeHG (http://freehg.org) is pretty good too

There are plenty of "projects" on them which are just personal sandboxes like
you are asking for. I recommend code.google.com.

I'll throw in <https://launchpad.net/> too. No wiki, though.

And <http://github.com/>, I guess.
