Search Python code for algorithmic features
Project description
Paroxython is a set of command-line tools which finds and tags algorithmic features (such as assignments, nested loops, tail-recursive functions, etc.) in a collection of small Python programs, typically gathered for educational purposes (e.g., examples, patterns, exercise corrections).
Each tag consists in a free-form label associated with its spanning lines. These labels are then mapped onto a knowledge taxonomy designed by the teacher with basic order constraints in mind (e.g., the fact that the introduction of the concept of early exit must come after that of loop, which itself requires that of control flow, is expressed with the following taxon: flow/loop/exit/early
).
Source codes, labels and taxa are stored in a database, which can finally be filtered through a pipeline of inclusion, exclusion, impartment and hiding commands on programs or taxa.
Installation and test-drive
pip install paroxython
The following command should print a help message and exit:
paroxython --help
Under Jupyter notebook, you should first load the magic command:
%load_ext paroxython
Run it on a cell of Python code (line numbers added for clarity):
1 %%paroxython
2 def fibonacci(n):
3 result = []
4 (a, b) = (0, 1)
5 while a < n:
6 result.append(a)
7 (a, b) = (b, a + b)
8 return result
