Trinket shut down at the end of August 2026, so the eight Python examples on "Working With Repeated Information" now show a shutdown notice instead of running.

This PR swaps each one for an embed that runs the same program. I recovered the original code from the Internet Archive's copies of the trinkets, so the examples read exactly as before. The one example that wasn't archived was the empty interactive console. It's now an editor with the two lines the text asks readers to try, and I adjusted the sentence above it to match.

The embeds are Coddy's free code editor. Python runs in the reader's browser, with no account and no ads, and each embed carries a small "Powered by Coddy" credit.

Disclosure: I work on Coddy. Happy to change anything: height, layout, wording, or drop the credit line if you'd rather not have it.

The eight Trinket embeds on the repeated-information page now show a
shutdown notice. Each becomes a Coddy embed running the same program,
recovered from the Internet Archive; the unarchived interactive console
becomes an editor with the two lines the text asks readers to run.
