This paper describes the development of CodeEazee, a problem solving, self- teaching tool for python programming which deploys templates and games. In this work, the authors conducted a survey to determine the factors responsible for the reduced interests of learners in programming, reviewed the various approaches used in teaching programming, and developed a python-for-python teaching system to teach programming skills, computational thinking, algorithms’ design, programming in general and Python programming specifically. The work would show how the third party environment had enabled users with limited or no programming experiences to design applications through peer supports, templates and gamification, embedded in a programming tool.
