notebook-checker 0.1.0

A package to check notebooks for the use of globals inside functions and to check student progress on assignments

Notebook Checker

A collection of additional checks to run in student notebooks.

Globals checker

Checks notebook files for the use of globals inside functions. The checker parses each cell's AST as it is run, and injects code into the AST to ensure that when a function is called, that any free variables are only of the type callable, type or module. If a function tries to access any other type of variable, i.e. stored data, outside of the function's scope, then the checker logs an error message, informing the user.

This check can be started with the magic function: %start_checks

Student logger

Logs student progress while the notebook is being exectuted, including current cell ID, timestamp at which the cell is executed, and the cell contents.

This check can be started with the magic function: %register_student
