Needs to work in Trinket.io

[gever]

Our code base is now working in Trinket.io because some of the reflection infrastructure is missing.

[royseto]

FYI, I wrote to the Trinket.io folks (in the help within their app) asking for help with this.

me:

I would like to provide a custom Python package (on GitHub) that my students can import in their trinkets. Is this currently possible?

trinket:

Hey Roy. We're currently working on this feature, though you'll have to copy and paste the module code and we'll only support one file to start. Could you share the link to the code? We'll use if for testing and let you know when the feature is ready. Elliott

me:

Hey Elliott, The module (under development) is here. https://github.com/gever/bwx-adventure It looks like someone on our side has tried to get it working in Trinket already and found some things that we needed to adjust. Please let us know if you have any advice on this: https://github.com/gever/bwx-adventure/issues/8 Thanks! Roy

This is a lot farther along now. Trinket is working on supporting importable modules. From Gever's email:

The team at Trinket have been very responsive to our bug reports and requests. The latest result is that they have fixed raw_input() to be in-line now and our adventure code is much more playable: https://trinket.io/python/cf8d6e0cd7

They are working on supporting importable modules and they think it will be ready by the time school starts.

Hey guys. Love what you're doing! Just wanted to let you know we're working on teaching Trinkets how to handle multiple files, which should close this issue and let your import advent or etc. ETA <2 weeks, hopefully <1. Sorry for the delay but there are a decent amount of moving parts to this one.

Thanks for building neat stuff and let me know how else I can help! @gever and @royseto: y'all have been awesome with the bug reports/feature requests. :+1: :boom: :beers:

[royseto]

Thank you for all your help with our Trinket questions, @eah13 !

[gever]

That's awesome Elliot! As you can see from the latest check-ins, our "simple" adventure module has grown to almost 1200 lines... and showing no sign of slowing down. Being able to just import it is really going to help our young programmers. Thanks for the update!

It's working! Check out the latest build (from @jplevyak via google docs) here: https://trinket.io/python/91d2f375a9

I've tightened up/simplifying the example code a bit, because I'm meeting with the Orange band in a little while (mostly working on their maps this morning) but wanted to be sure to have something to show them.

[royseto]

Awesome!

Erp...Just realized that skulpt doesn't have textwrap, argparse, or urllib2 implemented. Might need to split this issue apart and tackle those. We may be able to implement some of these, and textwrap we can just add into skulpt verbatim...Reopening for now. Got a little too excited

Sources for:

• textwrap
• urllib2
• argparse - though I'm not optimistic that we can easily build this into skulpt.

[walnerz]

Thanks Elliot! don't worry about argparse, it won't be relevant in th etrinket environment and I am going to move it out to another module that is conditionally loaded.

[walnerz]

argparse is now moved out into the optional advent_devtools module as of commit e62e735
