Package: pybryt
PyBryt - Python LibraryPyBryt is an auto-assessment Python library for teaching and learning.The PyBryt Library is a FREE Open Source Python Library that provides auto assessment of grading submissions. Our goal is to empower students and educators to learn about technology through fun, guided, hands-on content aimed at specific learning goals.The PyBryt Library is a Open Source Python Library - focused on the auto assessment and validation of Python coding.The PyBryt library has been developed under open source to support learning and training institutions to auto assess the work completed by learners.The PyBryt Library will work existing auto grading solution such asOtter Grader,OkPyorAutolab.FeaturesEducators and Institutions can leverage the PyBryt Library to integrate auto assessment and reference models to hands on labs and assessments.Educators do not have to enforce the structure of the solution;Learner practice the design process,code design and implemented solution;Meaningful & pedagogical feedback to the learners;Analysis of complexity within the learners solution;Plagiarism detection and support for reference solutions;Easy integration into existing organizational or institutional grading infrastructure.Getting StartedSee theGetting Startedpage on the pybryt documentation for steps to install and use pybryt for the first time.

Therefore, the ability to program such systems is a skill needed by everyone. Consequently, computational thinking skills are essential for everyone, which creates a challenge for the educational system to teach these skills at scale and allow students to practice these skills. To address this challenge, we present a novel approach to providing formative feedback to students on programming assignments. Our approach uses dynamic evaluation to trace intermediate results generated by student's code and compares them to the reference implementation provided by their teachers. We have implemented this method as a Python library and demonstrate its use to give students relevant feedback on their work while allowing teachers to challenge their students' computational thinking skills.
