Pythonny Quest

Experiments

shy

workbench

• most promising/reliable approach, based on ipython API
• requires more student interaction with new variables/functions, e.g. quest() or help(quest) or quest.check() or quest.score()
• put the working example script into new pythonny package

pexpect

• would have to emulate entire terminal and listen to entire keyboard, passing through everything back and forth

prompttoolkit

• can detect ctrl-V and other pasting commmands by user
• integrate with workbench

pymux

Almost works for what I need, but seems to only work in Python 3.9 or earlier. Also relies on pydoc which requires old Pythons as well and produces the following warnings:

/home/hobs/code/public-by-others/pymux/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/docopt.py:165: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\S'
  name = re.findall('(<\S*?>)', source)[0]
/home/hobs/code/public-by-others/pymux/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/docopt.py:166: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\['
  value = re.findall('\[default: (.*)\]', source, flags=re.I)
/home/hobs/code/public-by-others/pymux/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/docopt.py:207: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\['
  matched = re.findall('\[default: (.*)\]', description, flags=re.I)
/home/hobs/code/public-by-others/pymux/.venv/lib/python3.12/site-packages/docopt.py:456: SyntaxWarning: invalid escape sequence '\S'
  split = re.split('\n *(<\S+?>|-\S+?)', doc)[1:]

These seem to be caused by the newer Python parsing of regexesconflict
