naucse

This is a server for open course material.

To use it, you will need some content. Usually, the repository with the content will require the naucse module, and will run using python -m naucse.

We use content at https://github.com/pyvec/naucse.python.cz to generate naucse.python.cz.

Installation

Install from a virtual environment.

To install the latest release:

(venv)$ python -m pip install naucse

To install from a cloned repository, for development:

(venv)$ python -m pip install -e.[dev]

Running

To run the serve, either change (cd) to the directory with content, or set NAUCSE_ROOT_PATH to that directory. Then run:

(venv)$ python -m naucse serve

Instead of serve, you can run freeze to generate a static website. See Elsa for other usage, including deployment to GitHub Pages.

Served courses

The courses on the served website are taken from two sources:

• courses.yml in $NAUCSE_ROOT_PATH, with entries like:

    course_slug:
        url: https://github.com/user/repo
        branch: main
        path: _compiled

  The named repositories will be cloned. At the given path in the given branch, naucse expects compiled course info, as prepared by python -m naucse_render compile.

  This is intended for the production site, which aggregates lots of individual courses.

  If courses.yml is present, naucse will use a pretty homepage (rather than listing all courses on the homepage).

• Any courses found by python -m naucse_render ls. This is useful when developing a course locally.

Tests

Tests can be run using tox:

(venv)$ tox

or pytest directly:

(venv)$ python -m pytest
