Hello everyone, Crunchy [1] is *soon* going to be able to run as a server handling multiple users [2]. Actually, it could always do that ... but not in a way that allowed users to have different configuration settings ... and, under some conditions, for older releases of Crunchy, variables defined by one user could get "leaked" to another user ... but I digress.
Anyway, since Crunchy is soon going to be able to run a server handling multiple users (read: students logging from a pc to a classroom server), it would be really nice to have some people interested in trying it out and giving us feedback. If you think you could do this (even it has to wait until September until you are ready...), I would really be interested in hearing from you. Cheers, André [1] Version 0.9.9.1 of Crunchy can be found at http://code.google.com/p/crunchy/ Much interesting work has been done and is currently done as part of Google Summer of Code 2008 and a new release should be coming out soon. [2] There is one little, tiny, minuscule, limitation in running Crunchy as a server. Normally, a teacher would want the students to run their code samples within Crunchy. However, a student could launch a *separate* Python application from Crunchy, for example a game written using pyglet. The "problem" is that the application gets launched on the computer running Crunchy ... which would be the server. If you are a teacher directly connected to the server, and have students launch applications that they write, this would mean that the students' apps would compete with your own game^H^H^H^H^H serious application for screen space. _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
