AREPL for python installs statistics

AREPL

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

AREPL is availible for free on the vscode marketplace.

Usage

First, make sure you have python 3.7 or greater installed.

Open a python file and click on the cat in the top bar to the right to open AREPL. You can click the cat again to close.

Or run AREPL through the command search: control-shift-p

or use the shortcuts: control-shift-a (current doc) / control-shift-q (new doc)

Features

• Real-time evaluation: no need to run - AREPL evaluates your code automatically. You can control this (or even turn it off) in the settings. • Variable display: The final state of your local variables are displayed in a collapsible JSON format. • Error display: The instant you make a mistake an error with stack trace is shown. • Settings: AREPL offers many settings to fit your user experience. Customize the look and feel, debounce time, python options, and more!

Misc

Dumping

If you want to dump local variables or dump variables at a specific point in your program you can use the dump function:

STDIN

see https://github.com/Almenon/AREPL-vscode/wiki/Using-AREPL-with-input

GUIS

see https://github.com/Almenon/AREPL-vscode/wiki/Using-AREPL-with-GUI's

#$end

Use the #$end comment to indicate the end of the real-time code. Code after #$end will not be executed in real-time. This is useful if you have something specific you want to run without running the entire file along with it. For example:

Note that you can also use control-enter to run a block of code outside #$end.

Filtering variables from display

Don't want to see a variable in AREPL's result panel? Just add it to a variable named arepl_filter:

You can also filter out types:

Finally there is a super-powerful arepl_filter_function var you can use to totally customize what is shown:

You can set default filters via the defaultFilterVars or defaultFilterTypes settings.

HOWDOI

You can use howdoi with arepl.

First install in the terminal / command line:

pip install howdoi

Then reopen arepl and you will be able to use howdoi to get answers to your questions. For example:

will give you a function to calcualate a fibonaci number

Variable Representation

I have overridden the display of some types (like datetime) to be more readable to humans.

If you want a type to be displayed in a particular manner just file an issue
