#36721 — ANN: Python training "text movies"

I don't know what to call these, so for now I'll call them "training
text movies" until I come up with a better name..

I hope these will be helpful, especially to new students of Python.

http://lightbird.net/larks/tmovies.html


I'll be adding more in the next few days...

For the benefit of those who don't have web access at the moment, or who 
don't like to click on random links they don't know anything about, would 
you like to say a few words describing what "text movies" are, and how 
you think these may be helpful?

Sure: they play back a list of instructions on use of string methods and
list comprehensions along with demonstration in a mock-up of the
interpreter with a different display effect for commands typed into (and
printed out by) the interpeter. The speed can be changed and the
playback can be paused.

Hi Mitya.
What do you use for making these 'text-movies'?

I'm using this script:

They are simulated videos of an interactive interpreter session, with 
entered commands appearing all at once instead of char by char, and with 
the extra features mentioned above. I presume the purported advantage 
over an after-the-fact transcript is focusing watcher attention on each 
entry and response.

That is right; I would also add that it may be overwhelming for a newbie
to be reading through a large "wall of text" -- here you have blank
space after the current paragraph so the attention is focused even more
on the last few lines.

Additionally, since instructions scroll automatically, I can space them
out more than you would conventionally do in a manual.

When reading the source of the Web page which shows the scroll,
I can't find the reference to the text displayed. Only "text"...
How may we use the software which generates the Javascript ?
Thanks, it's cool.

Thanks!

  the text is in var commands = ...

You can download the generator script here:

https://github.com/pythonbyexample/PBE/blob/master/code/jstmovie.py

(you also need to grab  tmovies dir)

When looking at the source of the page :
http://lightbird.net/larks/tmovies/strings.html
I find commands = []
I can't guess where the strings displayed come from...

Look 10 lines below that line.


I have also added a related page that allows you to paste your own
text to make a movie; it's linked from the same page with the
list of generated t-movies.

(that page does not let you use typewriter effect or custom pauses
though).

I'm probably blind but 10 line after the line "commands = []", I find :

var commands = [
    [
        "text",
        " "
    ],
    [
        "text",
        " "
    ],
    ....]

but nothing concrete ! How come ?

As I've said upthread, you need to download tmovies dir from
the same repository where jstmovie.py is located:

Ok I can make my way with jstmovie. Some remarks and questions :

- Use encoding='utf-8' inside open of method __init__ of class Tutorial 
  in jstmovie.py. Otherwise foreign languages are stuck.

- To use the software outside Python, we need to have proper indentation
  as real spaces. We should be able to distinguish Arial type for usual
  text and fixed font for code.

- Should have some colors.

Cool and useful software,

Not sure I understand about indentation.. You mean like wrapping
everything in a textarea tag? Right now everything is in div,
which leads to all spaces being compressed in html when viewed.

I'm thinking of possibly using something like ReStructured text
and having css styles. Not sure yet.

SOme spaces are translated in &nbsp;, others in actual spaces.
Say for Scheme, if I write this in foo.txt :

> (define z (* 3+2i 1+i))                   ; notation a+bi
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

I get this in foo.html (spaces missing) :

> (define z (* 3+2i 1+i))                 ; notation a+bi 
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

This applies to Python and all other languages equally, that's why I was
confused. I've fixed this issue and added utf-8, and moved the files to
a new location & also copied utils.py file which I forgot yesterday.
