Hi everyone, Over the holiday, Johannes and I have been working on complementary parts of crunchy and quite a bit of progress has been accomplished. While we are not quite ready to do a nicely packaged release (with updated documentation), I thought I should point out the existence of a new home and public svn repository from which it can be checked out.
The url is http://code.google.com/p/crunchy/source If you are curious, feel free to check out the code, try it out, and give us some feedback. Crunchy has now evolved from a single program into a suite which consists of three main parts: Crunchy itself: Transform a specially marked-up html-based Python tutorial into an interactive tutorial viewed within a webbrowser (Firefox support) Crunchy has changed significantly since the last (0.7) release. Among the many changes, it now features a 'real' editor embedded in the browser. While doing the required markup to transform an html-based tutorial into a crunchy-ready one is pretty straightforward, a new tool has been developed that greatly facilitate the task. This new program is currently named Chewy. Both of these are in the branch labeled "andre" of the above mentioned svn repository, and are fully functional. I'm hoping to have something very close to a 1.0 version released for both Chewy and Crunchy by Pycon 2007. By then, the name *may* have changed to something "more serious". In Johannes's branch (johann), you can find the beginning of a server that could be used in a classroom environment. Its code name is Crispy (although you won't find a file by that name), and it is not yet doing anything really useful, but should in the near future. In addition, Johannes has has started to work on Crinkly, a sub-project of Crispy, designed to do automatic grading of student (doctest-based) assignments. This has not yet found its way in the repository. André _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
