thonny-tunisiaschools

A Thonny plug-in which offers Tunisian computer science secondary teachers / students some help creating Python & PyQt Applications:

• Loads a QT UI file and:

  • Adds needed code to load that file to the current document
  • Creates empty functions bound to button clicks

  

  • Adds a view that displays the UI inside Thonny (currently supporting Labels, Text inputs and buttons only)

  

• Adds a new menu (PyQt5) with commands to insert calls to common functions (text, setText, clear, show) for Labels and LineEdits

  

• Changes the default save location for final exams (baccalauréat)

• Disables reopening last open files (to reduce risks of students overwriting each other's work)
