Two new projects of potential interest
Hello everyone, For the past few weeks I have been working on two projects that may potentially be of interest to you. The first project is called friendly-traceback. I assume that, at one point or another, everyone on this list has taught beginners who were totally confused by Python tracebacks. Friendly-traceback aims to greatly reduce this confusion. As a bonus for international users, friendly-traceback has been designed from the start to be translatable; currently, only two languages are supported (English and French). There is much more to be done, but it is usable right now. You can find the documentation at https://aroberge.github.io/friendly-traceback-docs/docs/html/ Friendly-traceback has been carved out of a larger project named AvantPy. For English speakers, AvantPy can be thought of as standard Python + friendly-traceback + a few additional keywords that aim to reduce (slightly) the learning curve for some concepts. For non-English speakers, AvantPy makes it possible to run a "Python dialect" where Python's keywords are replaced by keywords written in a different language; currently there is a French and a Spanish version, both in draft forms. You can find the documentation at https://aroberge.github.io/avantpy/docs/html/index.html Both project are usable *right now*, even though they are admittedly incomplete. I would very much appreciate it if you could have a look at them, either just by reading the documentation or, even better, by trying to run the code, and give me some feedback. Of course, if you want to do more than simply give feedback and actually want to contribute some code samples or additional translations, that would certainly be welcome as well! :-) Pythonically yours, André Roberge
These are great pieces of work. I'm in the process of integrating friendly-tracebacks into Mu. N. On 10/05/2019 23:49, Andre Roberge wrote:

Looks great André! We'll try integrating it into our exercises platform soon and tell you how it goes. Thanks for sharing. On Sat, May 11, 2019 at 4:18 AM Nicholas H.Tollervey <ntoll@ntoll.org> wrote:
