pyslet 0.4.20140516

Current Status & Road Map

Pyslet is going through a transition process at the moment as the QTI migration tool that drives its development is gradually moving towards being distributed as an LTI tool rather than a desktop application.

The OData support is fairly robust, it is used to run the Cambridge Weather OData service which can be found at http://odata.pyslet.org/weather

What’s next?

• Proper Media stream support in the OData SQL storage model

• MySQL shim for the OData SQL storage model

• Improved support for LTI to take it beyond ‘basic’

I write about Pyslet on my blog, which is a good place to find out what’s new: http://swl10.blogspot.co.uk/

Feedback

The code is maintained on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/qtimigration/

Issues can be raised on the project site - all feedback welcome.

Pyslet is written and maintained by the main author on a spare time basis and is not connected to my current employer.

As I don’t have much spare time, the code tends to be fairly stable. Some of the code was written almost 20 years ago and it owes a lot to the University of Cambridge that employed me for many years in a variety of different roles.
