Again, thanks for sharing, and doing do on an open platform. This is
very important, especially for software used in education, because in
contrast to GitHub, GitLab.com, and others, FramaGit (and EduGit, as
such) ensure that young people who are also targeted by the software are
enabled to access and contribute.
I can review your strings while on the train later today. The header of
your script implies that you are open for code review as well. If this
is true, please ping me, and I will also make remarks on performance,
style and best practices concerning your Python code, but will leave
them out if they are not desired.
Cheers,
Nik
