Jupyter notebooks are great. I like to use ide.cs50.io or sagecell.sagemath.org.

good programing env features?
by Jurgis Pralgauskis Feb. 18, 2021

Feb. 18, 2021

Hi, it not directly Py oriented -- but I think you have some hints :) We are trying to choose among programming envs for 5th graders: Scratch https://pencilcode.net https://edublocks.org MicroBit blocks Logo CodeMonkey and the discussions are a bit chaotic based on each ones experience... Maybe you know like 5 good aspects/categories to evaluate by? kind of like here, but may be more abstract https://github.com/aroberge/reeborg-howto/blob/master/src/checklist.md -- Jurgis Pralgauskis tel: 8-616 77613; Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;) https://galvosukykla.wordpress.com/

Re: Friendly-traceback: useful tool for those teaching Python

Me: If I ask for type(__builtins__) I get a list of all the things dicts can do, not the contents of the module. Of course I should have said dir(__builtins__) above (not type). Anyway, I was glad to clear this up. I’m guessing the use of both __builtin__ and __builtins__ is not Spyder’s original idea, but characteristic of the I-Python console more generally. Indeed, my conda environment lets me ask for ipython directly at the bash shell and sure enough, it’s the same story. What about IDLE? Right, only __builtins__, no __builtin__. Kirby

Andre: I think you mean simply __builtins__, without the dir(). I was puzzled by this remark at first but now I’m seeing why. When I boot into the Python shell directly from bash, and ask for the type of __builtins__ i.e. type(__builtins__), I get back that it’s a module. Then dir(__builtins__) lists the contents, of the module, same as dir(math) would do. However, if I’m in the Spyder IDE and ask for the type of __builtins__, I’m told it’s a dict. If I ask for type(__builtins__) I get a list of all the things dicts can do, not the contents of the module. Ah, but there’s more…in Spyder, I have not only __builtins__ but __builtin__ (singular), and the latter is a module that behaves like __builtins__ (plural) in the primitive shell. At the same time, the primitive shell doesn’t have a __builtin__, only __builtins__. Spyder has added complexity. I’m using the same version of Python (3.9) in both cases. Kirby

Friendly-traceback: useful tool for those teaching Python
by André Roberge Feb. 3, 2021

Feb. 3, 2021

Hello everyone, For about 20 months now, I have been working on a Python package intended to help beginners figure out what went wrong when their program generates a traceback. This package is called Friendly-traceback; you can find the fairly extensive documentation at https://aroberge.github.io/friendly-traceback-docs/docs/html/ Friendly-traceback can be used to run programs from the command line, or from an editor; it also comes with its own REPL. Jupyter notebooks are also supported. While there is still much to be added to it (I don't know if I'll ever reach a "complete enough" version to be designated as version 1.0), I would appreciate feedback from those of you who teach beginners (or advanced beginners), including any suggestion as to how it could be made more useful. All the best and stay safe, André Roberge
