Submodules

moodlesg.math.base module

Module base contains definitions required for building moodle mathematical expressions.

class moodlesg.math.base.Expression(expression)[source]

Implement a generic mathematical expression in moodle format.

Parameters:expression (str) – Math moodle expression.
Returns:Moodle math object.
Return type:Expression

Examples

>>> str(mm.Expression('a'))
'a'
>>> a = mm.Expression('a')
>>> b = mm.Expression('b')
>>> str(a + b)
'(a + b)'
>>> str(a + 1)
'(a + 1)'
class moodlesg.math.base.Settings[source]

Representation of moodle math parameters.

If you need change parameters, access to them throught mmParams.

answer()[source]
comma_semicolon()[source]
decimal_sep = '.'
grade()[source]
list_sep = ';'
math_type = 'grade'
period_comma()[source]
period_semicolon()[source]
setup(**kwargs)[source]
moodlesg.math.base.answer_var(answer_variable)[source]

Implement a moodle variable for using in correct answer calculation.

Parameters:answer_variable (str) – Variable name string.
Returns:Moodle variable ready for calculations.
Return type:Expression

Examples

We can create a moodle answer variable for calculation as follow:

>>> a = mm.answer_var('a')
>>> str(a)
'{a}'
moodlesg.math.base.grade_var(id_activity)[source]

Implement a moodle variable for using in grade calculation.

Parameters:id_activity (str) – Moodle ID of the activity.
Returns:Moodle ID ready for grade calculation.
Return type:Expression

Examples

We can create a moodle id activity for calculation as follow:

>>> a = mm.grade_var('a')
>>> str(a)
'[[a]]'
>>> str(a + 1)
'([[a]] + 1)'
moodlesg.math.base.mmParams = <moodlesg.math.base.Settings instance>

Object that represents moodle math parameters and manages them.

Type:(Settings)
moodlesg.math.base.moodle_var(name_variable)[source]

Create variable type according to mmParams.math_type.

Parameters:name_variable (str) – Identifier of the moodle variable.
Returns:Moodle variable of correct type.
Return type:Expression

Examples

>>> mm.mmParams.grade()
>>> mm.moodle_var('a')
Expression('[[a]]')
>>> mm.mmParams.answer()
>>> mm.moodle_var('a')
Expression('{a}')

moodlesg.math.constants module

Module constants define common math moodle constants between grade and answer calculations.

In Moodle, actually there is no predefined constant that is allowed other than pi() as a function without parameter. With this module, is posible use \(\pi\) as a constant (not call to a function) and define others constants.

moodlesg.math.constants.PI = Expression('pi()')

Define \(\pi\).

moodlesg.math.settings module

Module contents

Module moodlesg.math implements a python interface to math manipulation requiered in grade and answer moodle formulas.

You can use variable assigment, relation operators, mixing types (moodle expressions with python data types) and commons names of functions in both type of formulas, grade and answers.
