Package: pyglide
PyGlide DocumentationIntroductionpyglide(Python Guided Learning through Interactive Digital Education) is a Python package that provides a convenient way to convert Jupyter notebooks into interactive slides. It allows users to create engaging presentations with interactive elements directly from the slides.InstallationInstall from GitHub filesTo installpyglidepackage, you can clone the repository from GitHub and modify it to your liking and install on your system. Open your terminal and run the following command:git clone https://github.com/B7M/pyglide.gitNavigate to the directory containing the repository and follow these steps:Make the build file:python -m buildOnce the build file is created successfully, you will see a folder nameddistin the directory which contains.whland '.tar.gz'. The name of the file will be the {package name}-{version number}-{py3-none-any.whl}. At this point runpip install dist/{the .whl file}command to install the package, here is an example of installing the package withversion 0.0.3:pip install dist/pyglide-0.0.3-py3-none-any.whlInstall from PyPITo installpyglidepackage, you can use pip, the Python package installer. Open your terminal and run the following command:pip install pyglideConfigurationPyGlide provides several configuration options to customize the output slides. You can pass these options as arguments when creating an instance of thepyglideclass or running pyglide from command line. Here are the available configuration options:audio: Specify if you wish the output without audio (default: "un-mute"). If you wish to generate the output without audio, you can pass "-m" as the value for this argument.AI_assistant: Specify if the output file should include an AI assistant (default: "AI prompt is included"). If you wish to generate the output without AI assistant, you can pass "-p" as the value for this argument.Example:pyglideoriginal_example-m-pgenerator=pyglide(audio="False",aI_assistant="False")UsagePreparation:Open a Jupyter notebook in Jupyter Lab or Jupyter Notebook.Add a markdown cell at the top of the notebook.Use level 1 heading to specify the title of the presentation and level 2 heading to specify the author and additional information.Make sure each cell is labeled with the write Slide Type (e.g. Slide, Sub-Slide, Fragment, Skip, Notes, etc.). This step is very important as it will determine the slides and the audio files that will be generated.While preparing the slides you may wish to receive input from the user. PyGlide allows you to receive input from the user as simple text or as executable code.
To do so, you should use<div><!--Course_Text--></div>in any slides you want to receive simple text. This HTML line will not be visible in the output slides. It will be server as a target for PyGlide. Similarly, to receive executable code, you can use<div><!--Course_Code--></div>in any slides you want to receive executable code. The package will automatically convert the input cells into interactive cells in the output slides.We included an example notebook in the package to show you how to prepare your notebook for PyGlide. To access the example notebook after installing PyGlidepip install pyglidein command line execute the following linepyglide original_examplethis will generate a folderoutputwhich will contain the example notebook file. You can use this notebook to see how you can prepare your notebook for pyglide. You can also use this notebook to test the package.Command Line InterfaceTo use PyGlide, in your terminal follow these steps:
After installing the package, you can use thepyglidecommand to convert your Jupyter notebook into interactive slides. In your terminal, navigate to the folder containing the notebooks and run the following command:pyglideUpon running the command, the package will prompt you with help text to show you how you can use it. Enter the name of the file press enter. The package will convert the Jupyter notebook into interactive slides and save the output HTML file in the output folder in the same directory as html file and audio file folder. If you wish to convert the notebook namedoriginal_example.ipynb, you will enteroriginal_exampleand press enter. If you wish to convert the notebook without audio, you can enterpyglide -m original_exampleand press enter.PythonIf you want to use PyGlide in your Python code, you can import the package and use it as a library. To use PyGlide, in python follow these steps:Import theGenclass from the package:importpyglideorfrompyglideimport*Create an instance of theInteractive Slides Generatorclass:generator=pyglide.GenSpecify the Jupyter notebook file you want to convert:notebook_file="path/to/your/notebook.ipynb"Generate the interactive slides:generator(notebook_file)The package will convert the Jupyter notebook into interactive slides and save the output HTML file in the output folder in the same directory as html file and audio file folder.ExamplesHere is an example that comes with the package. To run the example, in your terminal or python code provide 'original_example' as the file name.(with audio and AI assistant)pyglideoriginal_example-porpyglide-ioriginal_example-p(without audio and AI assistant)pyglide-moriginal_exampleAnd in python code:importpyglide# Create an instance of the pyglide classgenerator=pyglide.Gen# Specify the example notebook filenotebook_file="original_example"# Generate the interactive slidesgenerator(notebook_file)ConclusionPyGlide package provides a convenient way to convert Jupyter notebooks into interactive slides. It allows users to create engaging presentations with interactive elements easily. By following the installation and usage instructions outlined in this documentation, you can leverage this package to generate interactive slides from your Jupyter notebooks effortlessly.
