PyTA Help Website

This is the source of the website which students can consult for common error messages from both Python and PyTA itself.

To generate the website, follow these steps:

  1. Install pandoc. Make sure that after you've installed it, you can open the command line and run pandoc -v to get the version installed.
  2. Install the pandocfilters module. You can install from PyPI with pip install pandocfilters (or pip3 install pandocfilters if your default Python version is 2.*).
  3. In the command line, go to the website directory and run python build.py (or python3 build.py if your default Python version is 2.*).

After this, you should be able to open gen/index.html and see the demo webpage.

Troubleshooting:

  1. For Mac users, open python file includes.py under website/filters/. On the first line, change #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python3.
  2. Check if the file website/filters/includes.py is executable for the current user. If it is not executable, run chmod u+x filters/includes.py in the command line. Now try building the website again.
