[Tutor] Online interpreter?

[Rob Andrews]

It looks like Python Server Pages may provide a solution, as well.

http://jpython.dhs.org/pspdocs/samples.htm (I snipped this out of some
frames, FYI.)

One of the samples (including source) is the *Run Code* example. I have yet
to install PSP to verify this, but they profess that "Its purpose is to
allow you to enter a block of JPython code, have that code executed, and
return any results generated back to you."

I'm really interested in PSP, but have yet to play with it.

# The easiest method, imo, would be to make a JPython applet wrapped around
# an instance of code.InteractiveConsole.
#
# Otherwise, if you just had CGI, make a picklable rexec class and wrap
# the CGI around it.
#
# class PicklableRexec(rexec.RExec):
#   # keep state between CGI calls
#   def __getstate__(self):
#     # modules loaded
#     modnames = self.modules.keys()
#     # main module values, do not include modules
#     mainmod = self.modules['__main__']
#     mainvals = []
#     mainmods = []
#     for name, value in mainmod.__dict__.items():
#       if not isinstance(value, types.ModuleType):
#         mainvals.append( (name, value) )
#       else:
#         mainmods.append( name )
#     return (modnames, mainvals, mainmods)
#   def __setstate__(self, (modnames, mainvals, mainmods)):
#     self.__init__()
#     for name in modnames:
#       self.r_import(name)
#     for name in mainmods:
#       self.r_exec('input %s' % name)
#     mainmod = self.modules['__main__']
#     for (name, value) in mainvals:
#       setattr(mainmod, name, value)
#
# Pickling an instance of this will create a text string that can be passed
# to the next HTML form, properly quoted of course.  When submitting the
# form, unpickle the string to get the current state.  The input string can
# be called through the s_exec method.  May have to fix up the I/O for CGI.
