Explaining the negative image of the Luther bell, the paragraph refers to newimg while the code use win.
BTW, the input validation while loop in Ch. 8 always gives a times out message. Works great in Idle.

The text says that activecode has Save, Run, and Load buttons, but it actually has Save&Run, Load History, and Show Codelens buttons. The text appears to describe an older version of activecode.

Error reported in course CS150Fa16 on page http://interactivepython.org/runestone/static/CS150Sp16/GeneralIntro/FormalandNaturalLanguages.html by user peteli05 [email protected]
The explanation of the answer to Intro-11-1 says "All of these can be present in natural languages, but cannot exist in formal languages." The word "these" refers to "ambiguity, redundancy, and literalness," which together are the correct answer to Intro-11-1. The problem is that, as the textbook has just explained, formal languages MUST be literal. Therefore, it makes no sense to say that literalness "cannot exist in formal languages." The explanation of this answer needs to be reworded to explain that natural languages can be ambiguous and redundant precisely because they are not always literal, whereas formal languages are always literal and therefore are not ambiguous and require less redundancy.

Issue #34 appears to have been closed, despite the problems stated in the original report still being present in Section 14.32:

• Embedded graphics (e.g. "GUIandEventDrivenProgramming/Figures/Whack_a_mole_design.png") are not being shown, and
• The page text contains multiple dead links to source code (e.g. "whack_a_mole_v1.py")

The first and last example given are incorrect. My understanding for question 20 on chapter 9 of the examples - is that you should list all characters and remove dups - so oo-> o and pooh -> poh. the examples get rid of duplicates.

I'm running into errors trying to self host this with a working database.

I've configured postgres and created a database and user for runestone, and I'm not sure what to do from here.

Here's the error I'm getting when i try runestone build:

Hello,

I'm working through the def checkout() function exercise, and every time I run it, it tells me that the run time has exceeded the time limit allowed right after I submit the user input. I'm wondering if this is either: 1) Part of the problem I'm being tasked with solving, or 2) A bug somewhere in the activecode field? Any and all help will be very much appreciated!

Exercises 10.30 start on problem 14 instead of 1.

Also, exercise 16 question is missing, but answer is available.

Some of the Ch 17 Exercises seem to fetch the same code from Ch 16 Exercises.

For example, here is a Ch 16 exercise.

And here is the same code in a Ch 17 exercise.

They both seem to use classes_q3.

There are other overlapping exercises - classes_q5 and classes_q6 in Chapter 17 as well.

Not sure if this is the right place for this issue...

In Ch 8, getHeight() for an image created by image.Image() works, but getHeight() for an image created by image.EmptyImage() doesn't seem to work.

Hi there,

Steps:

• Cloning thinkcspy onto Kubuntu 14.04
• Running the instructions in README.rst

Unexpected result:

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/runestone/__main__.py", line 83, in serve
  os.chdir(pavement.serving_dir)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'serving_dir'

Temporary fix:

Add

serving_dir = "./build/"+project_name

at line 25 of pavement.py.

Thanks,

The terms deep copy and shallow copy appear in the glossary of the Classes and Objects: Digging a Little Deeper chapter, but these terms do not appear in the chapter itself. (Deep equality and shallow equality do appear in both the chapter and the glossary.)

Having this as a splash page is a hold-over from the early days of Runestone.

• move contents of toc.rst back to index.rst
• fix the build logic in scheduler.py (in RunestoneServer) so it does not special case this book anymore
• fix the build logic in runestone build to not special case this book
• fix the logic in designer.py to not make a copy
• update instructor interface so now we only need one link to edit a toc for any book

Error reported in course thinkcspy on page functions by user MilesConn [email protected]
The question in 6-1, the answer to one of a questions is that a function is a named order of sequences. This isn't entirely true as lambda is an unnamed function.

I think I've spotted an error in the project, which I believe you supervise :

http://interactivepython.org/courselib/static/thinkcspy/Strings/TurtlesandStringsandLSystems.html

I'm not sure if this is an error found in the original book or if it's a section that was added.

I'm attempting to build thinkcspy on my local machine (Mac running 10.12), and continue to bump into an error. My setup was as follows:

• brew install python3
• pip3 install virtualenv
• pip3 install virtualenvwrapper
• pip3 install -r requirements.txt
• runestone build

On the build step, I get the following error:

I've tried a number of things, including setting everything up on python2 instead of python3, but I run into similar problems. Any suggestions?

Now that more people are using the interface to build assignments, it is very problematic that the exercises were written with the question outside the directive. This means that when you add an exercise to an assignment all you get is the codemirror box and any sample code. But you can't see what you are supposed to do! The solution is simply to move the explanation inside the directive.

Greetings 😄

Thanks for creating such an amazing resource.

The answer for turtle 6.6 seems incorrect. The present answer is 'c'.

Option 'a' seems the correct one as the turtle is drawing the complete square and in a single color only.

"When we show the value of a string using the print function, such as in the third example above, the quotes are no longer present."
In fact, they are present. When removed, the interpreter thinks that the two words are two values.
I think there is a mistake in the sentences' "semantics", :).

The first activecode in the Functions chapter and the first activecode on the Using a Main Function are both named ch04_1

I only have the Chapters list in the navigation tool bar. There are not any other navigation tools like pages. There is also not any way to tell when you are on a page where you are in the text.

In Chapter 2.8 Input of How To Think Like a Computer Scientist there is a question "Click on all of the variables of type int in the code below".

This question uses an undefined variable total_secs.
Since the variable is undefined, one can not know if it is of type int or not.

I believe the question should be rewritten as:

seconds = input("Please enter the number of seconds you wish to convert")
total_secs = int(seconds)  # <--  This is a new line
hours = int(seconds) // 3600
secs_still_remaining = total_secs % 3600
print(secs_still_remaining)

The same problem exists with the subsequent question.
Here are the questions:

Under the throwing darts section.

fred.up() is currently initialized right after the instantiation of turtle.Turtle().

However this results in the turtle still leaving a line. What needs to happen is fred.up() called after the window has been instantiated.

I've tested the above and it no longer leaves a line.

In the last exercise (2.8 Input)
Click on all of the variables of type str in the code below:

seconds = input("Please enter the number of seconds you wish to convert")
hours = int(seconds) // 3600
secs_still_remaining = total_secs % 3600
print(secs_still_remaining)

As far as I understand there are only 2 strings:
One is the input by the user which is stored in the variable called "seconds". The same variable is then used again to be converted into an integer and divided (//) by 3600. At this stage there are no other strings because the only string in the input has been converted into an integer.
But then we find a variable called "total_secs" which seems to come out of the blue. I am no expert but I'm pretty sure there is a problem here!

In the first exercise we are supposed to draw a circle with a turtle but the exercise starts with:
def drawSquare(t, sz):
"""Make turtle t draw a square of sz."""
We haven't studied how to do that yet. I mean I don't know how to use the "def" function.
I hope this is helpful to improve the flow of your content. To do the exercise, I just got rid of the first part and added the rest with the items we have studied so far.
Thank you!

SyntaxError: bad input on line ???
For section: 6 - Functions
Exercises: ex_5_7, ex_5_8, ex_5_13 and ex_5_14

The commonality of these four examples can be seen by looking at the rst file for the functions examples.

These four all have

====
from unittest.gui import TestCaseGui

Once the error occurs for one of these examples I have found no way to resolve it. Clearing the box and inserting new code does not work and changing browsers does not resolve the problem.

However for exercise ex_6_3 I noticed that the indentation for my code started in column 2 instead of column 1 and by adjusting the start of the code I now receive error:

IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level on line 15
 from unittest.gui import TestCaseGui

 ^

The code visible on the screen ends on line 13 and the error is on line 15.

Related issue

After seeing the reply found the root cause explained in detail in issue 61

Resolution

As noted in the reply the fix is to login as the course instructor, go to the instructors page and select Rebuild

func 3_1 doesn't display anything other than a green stripe after answer.
The answer to func 4_1 doesn't match the source code (initialize isn't in the loop)

This problem seems to have an indentation weirdness.

Looking at the Edit source page, there are only 3 spaces in the yellow area and 4 spaces in the pink.

Hi in the "Operators and Operands" section there is a flaw in the questions. for the 1st question, you ask for the output of print(18/4). The correct answer should be 4 as both 18 and 4 are both integers, and when executed, an integer operation is executed. I even ran it in my python environment and received to answer 4. Now, if you asked to print(18.0/4) or print(18/4.0) or print (18./4), then you get the answer 4.5. However, this is not what you asked.

link to colour names leads to 404 page.
working link is: http://www.w3schools.com/colors/colors_names.asp

"Hint: you can find a list of permitted color names at http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp. "

I believe the wording of the answer to question intro-8-2 in Chapter 1.8 Runtime Errors of How to Think Like a Computer Scientist could be improved.

The question is Who or what typically finds runtime errors?

The expected answer is The compiler/interpreter.

I would like to see the answer changed to be The interpreter.
It is my view that a compiler finds compile-time errors, not run time errors.

The terms exception, handle an exception, and raise appear in the glossary of the Recursion chapter, but these terms do not appear in the chapter itself.
