gitbook-plugin-python-visualizer

Python visualizer for gitbook

Origins

This is a python visualizer ported from pythontutor.ru (it also has international version). Sources can be found on git.

This plugin is running now using backend server (for python executing) hosted by me. I don't guarantee that it will be working all time. If you want, you can start your server using //TODO sources. This is not complicated, all you need is python3 and bottle package.

I have in plans to port this to pure JS (like Brython) to run it with browser only, please contribute if you like.

Usage

Usage is quite simple, just let your book.json have

{
  "plugins": ["python-visualizer"]
}

and insert to your .md

{% visualizer %}
{% endvisualizer %}

Or

{% visualizer %}
# Put your code here!
# And watch visualisation line by line!
x = 1
for i in range(1, 10):
    x *= i
print("10! =", x)
{% endvisualizer %}

Features

• Feel free to create several visualizers on one page.
• Your code will also stay while you're going to another pages!
