Verify Python code submissions and auto-generate meaningful feedback messages. Originally developed for Python exercises on DataCamp for so-called Submission Correctness Tests, but can also be used independently.

# latest stable version from PyPi
pip install pythonwhat
# latest development version from GitHub
pip install git+https://github.com/datacamp/pythonwhat
To experiment locally, you can use setup_state()
and write SCTs interactively.
The code throws an error when the underlying checks fail.
# make all checking functions available
from pythonwhat.test_exercise import prep_context
_, ctxt = prep_context()
globals().update(ctxt)
# initialize state with student and solution submission
from pythonwhat.local import setup_state
setup_state(stu_code = "x = 5", sol_code = "x = 4")
Ex().check_object('x')
# No error: x is defined in both student and solution process
Ex().check_object('x').has_equal_value()
# TestFail: Did you correctly define the variable `x`? Expected `4`, but got `5`.
# Debugging state
Ex()._state # access state object
dir(Ex()._state) # list all elements available in the state object
Ex()._state.student_code # access student_code of state object
