Convert python notebook to a python script file about otter-grader HOT 2 CLOSED

Otter has a plugin system that is easy to extend if you'd like to write your own plugin to accomplish this: https://otter-grader.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins/index.html

For your existing solution, you can have otter include the .py file your script generates in its zip file by adding the files argument to Notebook.export (so that students only need to submit the zip file). If you're using otter assign, this can be set in the assignment config. For example, if your script writes a file named hw01.py:

# ASSIGNMENT CONFIG
export_cell:
  files:
    - hw01.py

If you'd like a built-in method of doing this (i.e. for us to write a plugin that's built into Otter for this), I'm happy to leave this open but I don't know when I'll get around to it.

@chrispyles Thanks for the quick reply.

This indeed resolves most of our issues.

I will close this issue. I understand that making this a built-in feature is not on your priority list and the workaround is quite good for the issue and easy to set up.

Thanks.
