[Edu-sig] [Ann] DocTest solution: Crunchy Frog

[Andre Roberge]

Version 0.1 of Crunchy Frog has been released.  It can be found at
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=125834

Crunchy Frog allows to transform a "traditional" Python tutorial into
an interactive session within your favourite web browser.  Three
"modes" of interaction are currently possible:
1. one-liner, similar to the typical instruction at the Python interpreter.
2. multi-line Python code, as entered in a traditional editor, and
executed by Python.
3. Solutions to doctests, as described by Jeff Elkner in a previous post.

Crunchy Frog is more of a proof-of-concept than a serious application
at this point. The code is rather messy, showing my total lack of
experience with this type of program (web app).  To use it you will
also need to have installed Elementtree (included with Python 2.5?)
and CherryPy.   You do not need to install Crunchy Frog.

To try it: read the 5 (short) pages long "tutorial" included, using
your favourite browser.  Then, start Crunchy Frog, and go through the
tutorial again.  The whole thing should be doable in less than 10
minutes.
