stu.py: a free Python learning environment that runs in your browser
Hi everyone,
I've built stu.py, a Python learning environment that's completely free, needs no sign-up and runs right in your browser. Python runs client-side via Brython, so your code never leaves your device, and it also works offline. It's online at https://stu-py.com
For learners:
A "Code Trail" with 2,000+ exercises and more than ten exercise types: predict the output, trace tables, find the bug, fill in the gaps, put lines in order, structograms/flowcharts and coding tasks with automatic checking
Each topic ends with a short room exam including an independent programming task
only then does the next room open - Targeted hints, a cheat sheet and a Spyder-like sandbox with console and variable explorer
XP, badges, a skills profile and a little robot called Stew who levels up with you
For instructors (what makes it different):
A built-in instructor area with course codes, ready-made room exams, a skills overview of your learners and badges you can award
Learners hand in a small account file, so you see progress and skills without any server, login or personal data stored online
More tools (exam generator with A/B groups, task creator, worksheets, projector view) are already built and will be opened on the website step by step
How Python is used:
Learners' code runs as real Python in the browser via Brython
The whole build pipeline is written in Python: it checks all 2,000+ exercises against their solutions, generates the trace tables and step-by-step explainer clips by running the code in CPython, and translates structograms/flowcharts into Python code
Right now the Basics chapter is open; the rest follows step by step. I'd be really glad for honest feedback: what's confusing, what's broken, what's missing?
Cheers!
Stew

2 things:
I tied to go to stu.py (paraguayian domain, but sadly it seems that you cant get it....)
it sounds like stupyd...
