AREPL: vscode edition Build Status

AREPL automatically evaluates python code in real-time as you type

Alt Text

Not availible on appstore yet but you can download alpha version manually from releases. I would love to hear any feedback, good or bad.

Once you download it the command to activate is "AREPL: eval python in real time"

In windows you can access the command search by using control-shift-p

You can activate AREPL directly by using control-shift-a or command-shift-a if on Mac

AREPL is also availible as a standalone app

Settings:

AREPL offers the following customizable settings:

"AREPL.delay": 300,

delay in milliseconds before executing code after typing

"AREPL.max_string_length": 70,

70 should fit nicely into a 1280 screen

"AREPL.restartDelay": 300,

extra delay when programming with a GUI (like turtle). Added onto delay.

"AREPL.show_to_level": 2

2 shows x=1 and x=[1,2], provides option to expand deeply nested data like x=[[1]]

Deveveloper Setup:

  1. Install VSCode, python 3 and npm (if not already installed)
  2. clone this repository
  3. npm install
  4. start debugging

see AREPL-backend for the npm package that executes the python code
