I don&#x27;t know why you would want to force people to do this. There&#x27;s nothing stopping someone from hand-copying code if you use text, but you&#x27;re using the wrong format if you encode it as an image. So, as a result, in addition to losing copy+paste (which may be useful for someone who doesn&#x27;t want to &quot;Learn Python the Hard Way&quot;), you also lose Ctrl + F, and if you&#x27;re using an animated GIF, you also lose the ability to stop at a specific point or move around.<p>Overall, I think the right answer is to use the appropriate format and let people sort themselves out.
