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)

Installation

Windows

Use Tools → Manage plugins inside Thonny, search for thonny-tunisiaschools and click Install.

macOS

1. Download and extract this repository
2. Open Terminal (Spotlight → type "Terminal")
3. Run this command (you will be asked for your Mac password):

sudo /Applications/Thonny.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/bin/python3 -m pip install ~/Downloads/thonny_tunisiaschools-0.0.14

4. Restart Thonny — you should see a PyQt5 menu in the menu bar
