Don't expect enterprise-grade code here. We do our best to keep the whole codebase clean, but some parts are still undocumented and not covered by unit tests.\n\n## Quid, quis, quomodo?\n\nTuring is written in Python 3.6 and uses the PyQt5 framework for its GUI. It provides two work modes:\n\n- Algorithm mode\n  - Uses a \"natural\" pseudocode language similar to the one used in Algobox and school books.\n  - Assisted development\n- Program mode\n  - Uses Python, for the more experienced\n\nIn both modes, the code can be debugged and executed step-by-step to facilitate the problem-solving side of development.\n\n## Using Turing\n\nTuring is cross-platform, but has only been tested on Windows and Linux-based operating systems. macOS should be supported, but no guarantee is made of that.\n\n### Using the package (recommended for Linux)\n\nA package is available for Ubuntu and Debian. You can install it like this:\n\n`sudo apt-get install turing`\n\nIf it does not work, use the pre-compiled binaries available below.\n\n### Using pre-compiled binaries (recommended)\n\nClick on the [**Releases**](https://github.com/TuringApp/Turing/releases) tab at the top of the page and download the release corresponding to your OS.\n\n- `windows32`: Windows 32 bits (7 or later)\n\t- tested on 10 x64\n- `nix64`: Linux 64 bits (Ubuntu 14.04 / Debian 8 or later) \n\t- tested on 18.04\n- `osx`: macOS 64 bits (10.13 *High Sierra* or later)\n\t- tested on 10.13\n\n### Using the source code (advanced users)\n\n#### Python 3.6 required!\n\n**You need to have `python3` point to Python 3.6 in your shell! Either use an alias in your `.bashrc` or a distribution that comes with Python 3.6.**\n\nIt uses the following libraries:\n\n- [PyQt 5](https://riverbankcomputing.com/software/pyqt/) - UI framework\n- [pyQode](https://github.com/pyQode/pyQode) - PyQt code editor with syntax highlighting\n- [Pygments](http://pygments.org/) - Syntax highlighter for printing code files\n- [pep8](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pep8) - Code quality checker\n\nFirst, install everything using pip:\n\n    pip install --ignore-installed -r requirements.txt\n\nNote: if you have Python 2.x installed on your computer (which is the case on 99% of Linux distributions), the old `pip` may be present in `PATH` and interfere with the above command line. If that happens, try using `pip3` instead of `pip`. Of course, it must be the `pip` paired with the installed Python3 (so you may need to use `pip3.6` instead).\n\nNext, open the src/ folder and use `run.bat` or `source run.sh` depending on your operating system.\n\n#### Building Turing (using pyInstaller)\n\nYou need:\n\n- Python 3.6 (`python3.6`)\n- Python 3.6 dev package (`python3.6-dev`)\n- Qt5 `lrelease` (`qt5-dev-tools`)\n\n## Contributing\n\nWe're currently looking for translators. For more information, see the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) file and [the Gitter](https://gitter.im/TuringDevelopment).\n\nIf you're a developer and you found a bug somewhere and fixed it, feel free to make a PR, we usually answer in no more than a few hours.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Python"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FTuringApp%2FTuring","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FTuringApp%2FTuring","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FTuringApp%2FTuring/lists"}
