Announcing ckernel - Jupyter notebook kernels for teaching C/C++

[Adam Tuft]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've just published which provides a couple of kernels for learning and teaching C/C++ via Jupyter notebooks. The main attraction is the AutoCompileKernel which:

• provides automatic compilation of C and C++ code;
• allows compilation and linking options to be embedded in comments;
• detects whether main is defined to decide whether to link an executable.

Currently this package has only been tested on Linux systems. The basic installation commands are:

pip install ckernel

ckernel install AutoCompileKernel autocompile "Autocompile C/C++"

See ckernel install --help for more options.

I hope you find this useful!

Best wishes,

Adam
