Invent - an app framework for beginners

This project's documentation can be found
here.
This project started in 2019 as "PyperCard" ~ a re-implementation of
Adafruit's CircuitPython PYOA
module, but for non-CircuitPython computing environments. It was originally
written using the Kivy framework for cross-platform
development. After successfully testing PyperCard for teaching and learning
purposes with the wonderful
young folk at the London
Young Coders' Meetup, development stalled because
of the COVID pandemic.
The project name has since been changed to "Invent" to remove any HyperCard
related expectations. There are further significant changes:
PyScript replaces Kivy as the underlying
cross-platform framework for generating and running the user interface.
Nicholas, the original developer and maintainer
of Invent/PyperCard, has been hired by Anaconda Inc
to work on PyScript, and so his work on this project is sponsored by his
employer.
Ownership of the repository has been transferred to the
invent framework organisation on
GitHub (the old repository will automatically redirect to the new one).
Since this is a complete rewrite, the license has been changed from MIT
to Apache2.
All the assets relating to the old version of the project can still be found
in the old branch in this
repository.
Developer setup
Git clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/invent-framework/invent.git
(Recommended) Upgrade local pip:
pip install --upgrade pip
Make a virtualenv, then install the requirements:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Most useful developer related tasks are automated by a Makefile:
$ make
There's no default Makefile target right now. Try:
make clean - reset the project and remove auto-generated assets.
make tidy - tidy up the code with the 'black' formatter.
make lint - check the code for obvious errors with flake8.
make lint-all - check all code for obvious errors with flake8.
make serve - serve the project at: http://0.0.0.0:8000/
make test - while serving the app, run the test suite in browser.
make dist - build the module as a package.
make publish-test - upload the package to the PyPI test instance.
make publish-live - upload the package to the PyPI LIVE instance.
To run the test suite:
$ make serve
Then visit http://localhost:8000/.
The tests should open in your browser, and pass. ;-)
