NOTES ABOUT REIMPLEMENTATION

This is a complete redesign and rewrite of termicoder to support judges as plugins, As well as to support the new codechef API.

This distribution currently includes judge plugin codechef implemented using codechef api for codechef api hackathon powered by Alibaba. We are working on support for other judges.

The API authentication backend for authenticating with CodeChef is hosted at https://termicoder.diveshuttam.me whose source code can be found in codechef-oauth.

Unlike previous implementation this completely does away with exec and eval calls. And implements Judges, Problems and Contests as classes instead of modules.

There is an abstract class Judge which is used to dispatch operations to a particular judge instance through Judge Factory. Developers can subclass and implement the Judge class externally and attach their module to setup tool entry-point - termicoder.judge_plugins.

Termicoder dynamically loads these judges and dispatches the operations. Complete documentation for writing judge-plugins and the UML design docs for termicoder would be available soon. By then you can look at the termicoder/judges/codechef in this repo for an example implementation. See setup.py for example of how to subscribe to entry point termicoder.judge_plugins.

There are also many completely new features implemented in this version including termicoder repl, termicoder config, termicoder clip, termicoder config autocomplete. Also the configurations are now completely YAML based with support for jinja like substitutions.

Though this implementation lacks support for colors as well as a few other features which were present in previous implementation. This is mostly due to time constraint of the hackathon. Codechef API severely limits requests per time which slows down development. We will try to get it running, once we have tested and perfected the api based features.

A base version for this repo(0.3.0) has been published, Further developement is being done on main termicoder repo.

You can use previous implementation of termicoder by specifying the version while pip installation. Previous implementation had version numbers ~0.2.* and this implementation has version ~0.3.0

Install

User installation

pip3 install termicoder

Developer installation

• clone this repo
• in the root folder of this repo run
  • pip3 install --editable .

notice the dot(.) in above command at the end

Note: it is better to use virtualenv

• to remove this package, in the root folder of the repo, run:
  • python setup.py develop --uninstall

Note: Termicoder is in its development stage and has only been tested on Ubuntu + python3. Support for other configurations is being worked on, if you are using some other platform and encounter errors, do create an issue for them. For windows one can also try using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows ; most features have been tested out there and work as expected.

Configuration

• After installing termicoder you have to initialize the configurations files. You can do this by

  • termicoder config init

• To edit configurations:

  • termicoder config edit

Tab Autocompletion
