Crunchy is an application that formats and delivers html-written Python tutorials inside a browser window, adding interactive elements and snazzy navigation.

This site is actually our development site, to keep up with news about Crunchy, please go to http://crunchy.sourceforge.net/ . To get started with Crunchy, download the code and go through the tutorial (launch Crunchy by typing python crunchy.py and you should be all set).

There is now a screencast of Crunchy. It has been recorded as a "live" session and, as such, is not very polished but does give an overview of Crunchy's capabilities.

Starting with version 0.9.8.5, it is possible to launch processes from Crunchy using a different Python version than the default. For example, suppose you have Python 2.5 and Python 3.0a2 installed on your system. You can start Crunchy using Python 2.5 (it is not compatible with 3.0 - yet) and, from within Crunchy/Firefox, execute some code (as an external process) using Python 3.0a2. Some examples are provided in the Tests section.
