Subject: [PATCH 002/209] Allow overriding

- has_equal_value/error/output can now take an 'override' value to avoid the solution from running.
- check_object does not check whether an object is defined in the solution process if the student and solution processes are identical
- add documentation article accordingly

+SingleProcessExercise
+---------------------
+
+Introduction
+============
+
+Typical interactive exercises on DataCamp will be of the type ``NormalExercise`` or something similar.
+
+For these normal exercises, the pythonbackend (the Python package responsible
+for running Python code that the student submitted) will execute:
+
+- the solution code in a solution process
+  (once, at exercise initialization),
+- the student's submission in a student process
+  (every time the student hits submit, after which the process is restarted from scratch)
+- the student's experimentation commands in the console in a console process
+  (every time the user executes a command, without restarting afterwards)
+
+These completely separate processes make sure that:
+
+- the different commands do not interfere with one another;
+  if you import a package in one process,
+  the package will not become available in the other process.
+- pythonwhat has access to a 'target solution process' to easily do comparisons;
+  to compare an object ``x``, you simply have to use ``Ex().check_object('x').has_equal_value()`` and
+  pythonwhat will figure out the value ``x`` should have from the solution process.
+
+To learn more about how the backend works, you can visit
+`this wiki article <https://github.com/datacamp/pythonbackend/wiki>`_.
+
+Why does this exercise type exist?
+==================================
+
+There are Python courses that make extensive use of programs running outside of Python.
+Sometimes, these programs cannot handle it well when different
+Python process are trying to interface with it.
+An example of this is PySpark, where on container startup,
+a Spark cluster is started up, that you can then interface with.
+Things go horribly wrong if you try to access this PySpark cluster from different Python processes.
+
+To solve for this, a new exercise type was built,
+that does not create three separate Python processes (solution, student, console).
+Instead, only one process is created:
+
+- the solution code is not executed in this process.
+- the student's sumission is executed in this process, but the process is not restarted afterwards
+- the student's experimentation commands in the console are executed in the same process.
+
+From a user perspective, this shouldn't pose too much difficulties,
+with the exception that the code execution is now stateful.
+
+So, what's the problem then?
+============================
+
+As mentioned earlier, pythonwhat depends heavily on the existence of
+two separate process: a 'target' solution process, and a student process.
+Functions such as ```has_equal_value()`` compare values and the results of expression in these processes.
+In the ``SingleProcessExercise``, the student process and
+the solution process are identical, it's one and the same process,
+so these comparisons don't make any sense.
+
+Therefore, the 'process-based checks' in pythonwhat have to be used with care when
+writing SCTs for a ``SingleProcessExercise``. More specifically:
+
+- ``check_object()`` should work okay, as there is some magic happening behind the scenes.
+- ``has_equal_value()`` and ``has_equal_output()`` should be used with the ``override`` argument.
+  When this argument is specified, the expression that is 'zoomed in on' in the solution code will not be executed in the solution proces.
+  Instead, it will just take the value you pass to ``override`` to compare the result/output of the expression that is zoomed in on in the student code to.
+
+Example
+=======
+
+As an example, suppose we want to check whether a student correctly created a list ``x``:
+
+.. code::
+
+    # solution
+    x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
+
+If this solution were part of a traditional ``NormalExercise``, your SCT would be simple:
+
+.. code::
+
+    # SCT
+    Ex().check_object('x').has_equal_value()
+
+However, if this solution were part of a ``SingleProcessExercise``, the above SCT would not work.
+Instead, you'll want to do the following:
+
+.. code::
+
+    # SCT
+    Ex().check_object('x').has_equal_value(override = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5])
+
+Here, we use ``override`` to tell pythonwhat not to go look for the value of ``x`` in the solution process.
+Instead, it uses the manually specified value in ``override`` to compare to.
+
+You can use ``override`` in combination with other arguments in ``has_equal_x()``, such as ``expr_code``.
+Suppose you're only interested in the element at index 2 of the list ``x``:
+
+.. code::
+
+    # SCT
+    Ex().check_object('x').has_equal_value(expr_code = 'x[2]', override = 3)
+
+Tricky stuff, but it works!

 All notable changes to the pythonwhat project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## 2.15.3
+
+### Added
+
+- `check_object()` does not check whether the targeted object is specified in the solution process if
+  student and solution process are identical (as is the case in the `SingleProcessExercise`).
+- `has_expr()`, the function used by `has_equal_value()`, `has_equal_output()` and `has_equal_error()` can take an `override` argument,
+  that causes the solution expression _not_ to run and use the value specified in `override` instead.
+  For more information, have a look at the 'SingleProcessExercise' article on the documentation.
+
 ## 2.15.2
 
 ### Removed

-Simple tests

     - ``check_`` functions produce a child state that 'dives' deeper into a part of the state it was passed. They are typically chained off of for further checking.
     - ``has_`` functions always **return the state that they were intially passed** and are used at the 'end' of a chain.

 All notable changes to the pythonwhat project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## 2.16.0
+
+### Added
+
+- Function documentation (with examples) for `multi()`, `check_or()`, `check_correct()` and `check_not()`
+
+### Changed
+
+- If an SCT is incorrectly coded, it will generate more easily understandable errors so the author can easily fix the issue.
+- If an SCT correctly runs but does not make a lot of sense, easily understanble errors will be thrown so the author can make improvements.
+
 ## 2.15.3
 
 ### Added

Subject: [PATCH 009/209] feat(check_class_def): ability to test class
 definitions

- Similar to how function definitions are checked, but easier,
- Tested (both internals and messages)
- Example added to 'checking compound statements' article

Closes #233

        .check_orelse().has_equal_output()
 
+Class definition
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Suppose you want to check whether a class was defined correctly:
+
+.. code::
+
+
+The following SCT would verify this:
+
+.. code::
+
+    check_class_def('MyInt').multi(
+        check_bases(0).has_equal_ast(),
+        check_body().check_function_def('__init__').multi(

+            check_args('i'),
+            check_body().set_context(i = 2).multi(
+                check_function('super', signature=False),
+                check_function('super.__init__').check_args(0).has_equal_value()
+            )
+        )
+    )
+
+- ``check_class_def()`` looks for the class definition itself.
+- With ``check_bases()``, you can zoom in on the different basse classes that the class definition inherits from.
+- With ``check_body()``, you zoom in on the class body, after which you can use other functions such
+  as ``check_function_def()`` to look for class methods.
+- Of course, just like for other examples, you can use ``check_correct()`` where necessary,
+  e.g. to verify whether class methods give the right behavior with ``check_call()``
+  before diving into the body of the method itself.
 
 Crazy combo

Subject: [PATCH 011/209] spec(unit-to-pytest): switch from unittest to pytest
 entirely

- Rewrite all unittest tests to pytest
- More sensible file structure for tests
- Tests are more self-contained (e.g. messages tests mainly in test_messaging.py)
- Instead of using helper.run, try to use more lower-level SCT running (with helper.verify_sct)

From 17ffea9b33ea1ab8893a245e9a82b8448b0960f6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Filip Schouwenaars <filip@datacamp.com>
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2018 15:47:57 +0200
Subject: [PATCH 013/209] refactor(messaging): always Jinja + consistent
 messaging v1 vs v2

- FMT: prefix no longer supported.
- Jinja templating used for all; __JINJA__ prefix simply removed.
- Get rid of custom messaging in test_compound_statement
- Some changes are breaking, but only require rewrite of a couple of SCTs

Closes #137 #299

 - etc.
 
-Examples
-========
+For specific examples on checking for loops, list comprehensions, function definitions etc.,
+visit the reference. Every function is documented with a full example and corresponding explanation.
+All of these examples are specific to a single construct, but of course you can combine things up to crazy levels.
 
-``check_if_else()``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+Crazy combo, example 1
+======================
 
-Let's recap the ``if`` statement example from the tutorial article:
+Suppose you want to check whether a function definition containing a for loop was coded correctly as follows:
 
 .. code::
 
-    # solution
-    x = 4
-    if x > 0:
-        print("x is strictly positive")
-    
-    # sct
-    Ex().check_if_else().multi(
-        check_test().has_code(/x\s+>\s+0/), # chain A
-        check_body().check_function('print', 0).check_args('value').has_equal_value() # chain B
-    )
-
-It checks whether the student specified an ``if`` statement, but the check of the ``test`` part is not very robust.
-The SCT would not accept a submission that contains ``0 < x`` in the test.
-
-To increase robustness, pythonwhat features functionality to rerun pieces of the student and solution code,
-and then check the resulting value, printed output, or errors they produce.
-
-Consider the same solution, an example submission, and a better SCT:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    x = 4
-    if x > 0:
-        print("x is strictly positive")
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().check_if_else().multi(
-        check_test().multi(
-            set_env(x = -1).has_equal_value(), # chain A1
-            set_env(x =  1).has_equal_value(), # chain A2
-            set_env(x =  0).has_equal_value()  # chain A3
-        ),
-        check_body().check_function('print', 0).check_args('value').has_equal_value() # chain B
-    )
-
-    # example student submission
-    x = 4
-    if x >= 0:
-        print("x is strictly positive")
-
-
-In this SCT, `chain A` has been made more advanced:
-
-- As explained previously, ``check_test()`` zooms on the 'test portions' of the if statement in both student (``x >= 0``) and solution code (``x > 0``)
-- Instead of ``has_code()``, we are using a series of ``set_env().has_equal_value()`` calls.
-  ``set_env()`` will temporarily override the value of ``x`` in the student/solution process,
-  and ``has_equal_value()`` will re-execute the pieces of code that are zoomed in on, and compare the results.
-
-  + chain A1 re-executes ``x >= 0`` in the student process and ``x > 0`` in the solution process when ``x`` is equal to ``-1``, and checks if the results are the same, which they are: they both evaluate to ``False``.
-  + chain A2 re-executes ``x >= 0`` in the student process and ``x > 0`` in the solution process when ``x`` is equal to ``1``, and checks if the results are the same, which they are: they both evaluate to ``True``.
-  + chain A3 re-executes ``x >= 0`` in the student process and ``x > 0`` in the solution process when ``x`` is equal to ``1``, and checks if the results are the same.
-    They are not: the student expression evaluates to ``False``, while the solution expressione evaluates to ``True``.
-
-With this example student submission, the SCT will fail and pythonwhat will automatically generate a meaningful feedback message.
-However, because we are not merely string-matching the SCT allows for much more ways of (correctly solving) the problem that would be hard to cater for with ``has_code()``:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # example student submission (passing)
-    x = 4
-    if x > 0:
-        print("x is strictly positive")
-
-    # example student submission (passing)
-    x = 4
-    if 0 < x:
-        print("x is strictly positive")
-
-.. note::
-
-    Notice that ``has_equal_value()`` is also used in the context of checking objects and function arguments.
-    When checking objects, ``has_equal_value()`` is executing the expression ``<var_name>`` and comparing the result.
-    When checking function arguments, ``has_equal_value()`` executes the expression that specifies an argument.
-    They are different applications of the same concept: zooming in on a part of the student/solution submission,
-    rerunning the expressions and comparing the results.
-
-
-``check_for_loop()``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The following example checks whether the student properly iterates over a dictionary and does the appropriate printouts:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
-    for key, value in my_dict.items():
-        print(key + " - " + str(value))
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().check_object('my_dict').has_equal_value()
-    Ex().check_for_loop().multi(
-        check_iter().has_equal_value(),
-        check_body().multi(
-            set_context('a', 1).has_equal_output(),
-            set_context('b', 2).has_equal_output()
-        )
-    )
-
-Unlike the ``if`` statement, the ``for`` loop introduces two context values, ``key`` and ``value``.
-pythonwhat treats them different from regular variables like ``x`` in the previous example to be robust to students using different names for these context variables, 
-Similar to ``set_env()``, you can now use ``set_context()`` to temporarily override the values of these context variables.
-Next, you can use ``has_equal_x()`` like before to rerun the body of the for loop for different situations.
-
-- The ``check_object()`` chain verifies that ``my_dict`` is properly initialized.
-- ``check_for_loop()`` zooms in on the ``for`` loop, and makes its parts available for further checking.
-- ``check_iter()`` zooms in on the iterator part of the for loop, ``my_dict.items()`` in the solution.
-    
-  + ``has_equal_value()`` re-executes the expressions specified by student and solution and compares their results.
-
-- ``check_body()`` zooms in on the body part of the for loop, ``print(key + " - " + str(value))``:
-
-  + Similar to ``set_env()``, we now use ``set_context()`` to temporarily override the values of the context variables ``key`` and ``value``, in this order.
-    Notice that the context values are not specified by name, this is on purpose.
-  + ``has_equal_output()`` re-executes the entire for loop body and captures the output this generates. It does this for both the student and solution body, and checks if the outputs are equal.
-
-Because pythonwhat treats context values differently from normal variables and we're not specifying the variables by name in ``set_context()``,
-we can make the SCT robust against submissions that code the correct logic, but use different names for the context values.
-Consider the following student submissions that would also pass the SCT:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # passing submission 1
-    my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
-    for k, v in my_dict.items():
-        print(k + " - " + str(v))
-
-    # passing submission 2
-    my_dict = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
-    for first, second in my_dict.items():
-        mess = first + " - " + str(second) 
-        print(mess)
-
-
-``check_function_def()``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The following example checks whether students correctly defined their own function:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    def shout_echo(word1, echo=1):
-        echo_word = word1 * echo
-        shout_words = echo_word + '!!!'
-        return shout_words
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().check_function_def('shout_echo').check_correct(
-        multi(
-            check_call("f('hey', 3)").has_equal_value(),
-            check_call("f('hi', 2)").has_equal_value(),
-            check_call("f('hi')").has_equal_value()
-        ),
-        check_body().set_context('test', 1).multi(
-            has_equal_value(name = 'echo_word'),
-            has_equal_value(name = 'shout_words')
-        )
-    )
-
-Here:
-
-- ``check_function_def()`` zooms in on the function definition of ``shout_echo`` in both student and solution code (and process)
-- ``check_correct()`` is used to
-  + First check whether the function gives the correct result when called in different ways (through ``check_call()``).
-  + Only if these 'function unit tests' don't pass, `check_correct()` will run the `check_body()` chain that dives deeper into the
-  function definition body. This chain sets the context variables - ``word1`` and ``echo``, the arguments of the function - to
-  the values ``'test'`` and ``1`` respectively, again while being agnostic to the actual name of these context variables.
-
-Notice how ``check_correct()`` is used to great effect here: why check the function definition internals if the I/O of the function works fine?
-Because of this construct, all the following submissions will pass the SCT:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # passing submission 1
-    def shout_echo(w, e=1):
-        ew = w * e
-        return ew + '!!!'
-
-    # passing submission 2
-    def shout_echo(a, b=1):
-        return a * b + '!!!'
-
-elif statements
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-In Python, when an if-else statement has an ``elif`` clause, it is held in the `orelse` part.
-In this sense, an if-elif-else statement is represented by python as nested if-elses. More specifically, this if-else statement:
-
-.. code::
-
-    if x:
-        print(x)
-    elif y:
-        print(y)
-    else:
-        print('none')
-
-Is syntactically equivalent to:
-
-.. code::
-
-    if x:
-        print(x)
-    else:
-        if y:
-            print(y)
-        else:
-            print('none')
-
-The second representation has to be followed when writing the corresponding SCT:
-
-.. code::
-
-   Ex().check_if_else() \
-       .check_orelse().check_if_else() \
-       .check_orelse().has_equal_output()
-
-Class definition
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Suppose you want to check whether a class was defined correctly:
-
-.. code::
-
-
-The following SCT would verify this:
-
-.. code::
-
-    check_class_def('MyInt').multi(
-        check_bases(0).has_equal_ast(),
-        check_body().check_function_def('__init__').multi(
-            check_args('self'),
-            check_args('i'),
-            check_body().set_context(i = 2).multi(
-                check_function('super', signature=False),
-                check_function('super.__init__').check_args(0).has_equal_value()
-            )
-        )
-    )
-
-- ``check_class_def()`` looks for the class definition itself.
-- With ``check_bases()``, you can zoom in on the different basse classes that the class definition inherits from.
-- With ``check_body()``, you zoom in on the class body, after which you can use other functions such
-  as ``check_function_def()`` to look for class methods.
-- Of course, just like for other examples, you can use ``check_correct()`` where necessary,
-  e.g. to verify whether class methods give the right behavior with ``check_call()``
-  before diving into the body of the method itself.

+- ``check_correct()`` is used so the body is not further checked if calling the function in different ways produces the same value in both student and solution process.
 - ``set_context()`` is used twice. Once to set the context variables introduced by the function definition, and once to set the context variable introducted by the for loop.

-Checking imports
-----------------
-
-Python features many ways to import packages. All of these different methods revolve around the ``import``, ``from`` and ``as`` keywords.
-``has_import()`` provides a robust way to check whether a student correctly imported a certain package.
-
-Take this example to check whether a studnet imported ``matplotlib.pyplot`` as ``plt``:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().has_import("matplotlib.pyplot")
-
-    # passing submissions
-    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
-    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt
-    import matplotlib.pyplot as pltttt
-
-    # failing submissions
-    import matplotlib as mpl
-
-By default, ``has_import()`` allows for different ways of aliasing the imported package or function. If you want to make sure the correct alias was used to refer to the package or function that was imported, set ``same_as=True``.
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().has_import("matplotlib.pyplot", same_as=True)
-
-    # passing submissions
-    import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
-    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

-    # failing submissions

+            - The ``check_iter()`` chain verifies whether `range(10)` (or something equivalent) was used to iterate over.
+            - ``check_body()`` zooms in on the body, and reruns the body (``even.append(2*i)`` in the solution) for ``i`` equal to 2, and even temporarily set to an empty array.
+              Notice how we use ``set_context()`` to robustly set the context value (the student can use a different variable name), while we have to explicitly set ``even`` with ``set_env()``.

+            - ``check_if_else()`` zooms in on the first if statement in the student and solution submission.
+            - ``check_test()`` zooms in on the 'test' portion of the if statement, ``x > 0`` in case of the solution.
+              ``has_equal_value()`` reruns this expression and the corresponding expression in the student code for
+              different values of ``x`` (set with ``set_env()``) and compare there results.
+              This way, you can robustly verify whether the if test was coded up correctly. If the student
+              codes up the condition as ``0 < x``, this would also be accepted.
+            - ``check_body()`` zooms in on the 'body' portion of the if statement, ``print("...")`` in case of the solution.
+              With a classical ``check_function()`` chain, it is verified whether the if statement contains a
+              function ``print()`` and whether its argument is set correctly.
+
+        :Example:
+        
+            In Python, when an if-else statement has an ``elif`` clause, it is held in the `orelse` part.
+            In this sense, an if-elif-else statement is represented by python as nested if-elses.
+            More specifically, this if-else statement: ::
+ 
+                if x > 0:
+                    print(x)
+                elif y > 0:
+                    print(y)
+                else:
+                    print('none')
+
+            Is syntactically equivalent to: ::
+
+                if x > 0:
+                    print(x)
+                else:
+                    if y > 0:
+                        print(y)
+                    else:
+                        print('none')
+
+            The second representation has to be followed when writing the corresponding SCT: ::

+                Ex().check_if_else().multi(
+                    check_test(),          # zoom in on x > 0

+                )
+
+            Here:
+
+            - ``check_lambda_function()`` zooms in on the first lambda function in both student and solution code.
+            - ``check_correct()`` is used to
+
+                + First check whether the lambda function gives the correct result when called in different ways (through ``check_call()``).
+                + Only if these 'function unit tests' don't pass, ``check_correct()`` will run the `check_body()` chain that dives deeper into the

+                  the values ``[1, 2, 3]``, while being agnostic to the actual name the student used for this context variable.

+has_equal_value? has_equal_ast?
+===============================
+
+In the customizations section above, you could already notice the difference between ``has_equal_value()`` and ``has_equal_ast()`` for checking
+whether arguments are correct. The former **reruns** the expression used to specify the argument in both student and solution process
+and compares their results, while the latter simply compares the expression's AST representations. Clearly, the former is more robust, but there
+are some cases in which ``has_equal_ast()`` can be useful:
+
+- For better feedback. When using ``has_equal_ast()``, the 'expected x got y' message that is automatically generated when the arguments
+  don't match up will use the actual expressions used. ``has_equal_value()`` will use string representations of the evaluations of the expressions,
+  if they make sense, and this is typically less useful.
+- To avoid very expensive object comparisons. If you are 100% sure that the object people have to pass as an argument is already correct (because
+  you checked it earlier in the SCT or because it was already specified in the pre exercise code) and doing an equality check on this object between
+  student and solution project is likely going to be expensive, then you can safely use ``has_equal_ast()`` to speed things up.
+- If you want to save yourself the trouble of building exotic contexts. You'll often find yourself checking function calls in e.g. a for loop.
+  Typically, these function calls will use objects that were generated inside the loop. To easily unit test the body of a for loop, you'll typically
+  have to use ``set_context()`` and ``set_env()``. For exotic for loops, this can become tricky, and it might be a quick fix to be a little more
+  specific about the object names people should use, and just use ``has_equal_ast()`` for the argument comparison. That way, you're bypassing the need
+  to build up a context in the student/solution process and do object comparisions.

-Checking objects
-----------------
-
-In ``pythonbackend``, both the student's submission as well as the solution code are executed, in separate processes.
-``check_object()`` looks at these processes and checks if the referenced object is available in the student process.
-Next, you can use ``has_equal_value()`` to check whether the objects in the student and solution process correspond.
-
-.. note::
-
-    For more information how DataCamp's coding backends run code, check out `this article <https://authoring.datacamp.com/courses/exercises/technical-details/sct.html>`_
-
-Basic example
-=============
-
-Consider the following solution, and corresponding SCT:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    x = 15
-
-    # sct option 1
-    Ex().check_object("x").has_equal_value()
-
-    # submissions that will pass this sct
-    x = 10
-    x = 12 + 3
-    x = 3; x += 12
-
-
-- ``check_object()`` will check if the variable ``x`` is defined in the student process.
-- ``has_equal_value()`` will check whether the value of ``x`` in the solution process is the same as in the student process.
-
-
-.. note::
-
-    If you only use ``Ex().check_object("x")`` without ``has_equal_value()``, you are only checking whether the object is defined.
-
-.. caution::
-
-    ``has_equal_value()`` only looks at **end result** of a variable in the student process. In the example, how the object ``x`` came about in the student's submission, does not matter.    
-
-Checking the type of an object
-==============================
-
-You can use ``is_instance()`` after ``check_object()`` to verify the class of an object:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    x = 3
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().object("x").is_instance(int)
-
-    # passing submissions
-    x = 3
-    x = 4
-
-    # failing submissions
-    x = '3'
-    x = '4'
-
-
-Checking objects with keys
-==========================
-
-You can use the `check_keys()` function to 'zoom in' on a particular key in a dictionary or a pandas DataFrame:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    import pandas as pd
-    my_df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 2, 3], "b": [4, 5, 6]})
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().check_df("my_df").check_keys("a").has_equal_value()
-
-    # passing submissions
-    my_df = pd.DataFrame({"a": [1, 1 + 1, 3], "b": [4, 5, 6]})
-    my_df = pd.DataFrame({"b": [4, 5,  6], "a": [1, 2, 3]})
-
-Here `check_df()` does two things:
-
-+ it checks whether the object ``my_df`` is defined in the student process (``check_object()`` behind the scenes).
-+ it checks whether ``my_df`` is an object of type `pandas.DataFrame` (using ``is_instance()`` behind the scene).
-
-Exotic objects
-==============
-
-pythonwhat compares the objects in the student and solution process with the ``==`` operator.
-For basic objects, this ``==`` is operator is properly implemented, so that the objects can be effectively compared.
-For more complex objects that are produced by third-party packages, however, it's possible that this equality operator is not implemented in a way you'd expect.
-Often, for these object types the ``==`` will compare the actual object instances.
-
-.. code::
-
-    # pre exercise code
-    class Number():
-        def __init__(self, n):
-            self.n = n
-
-    # solution
-    x = Number(1)
-
-    # sct that won't work
-    Ex().check_object().has_equal_value()
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().check_object().has_equal_value(expr_code = 'x.n')
-
-    # submissions that will pass this sct
-    x = Number(1)
-    x = Number(2 - 1)
-    
-The basic SCT like in the previous example won't work here.
-Notice how we used the ``expr_code`` argument to _override_ which value `has_equal_value()` is checking.
-Instead of checking whether `x` corresponds between student and solution process, it's now executing the expression ``x.n``
-and seeing if the result of running this expression in both student and solution process match.

-Checking output
----------------
-
-Checking any output
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Among the student and solution process, the student submission and solution code as a string,
-the ``Ex()`` state also contains the output that a student generated with his or her submission.
-
-With ``has_output()``, you can access this output and match it against a regular or fixed expression.
-
-As an example, suppose we want a student to print out a sentence:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # Print the "This is some ... stuff"
-    print("This is some weird stuff")
-
-
-The following SCT tests whether the student prints out ``This is some weird stuff``:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # Using exact string matching
-    Ex().has_output("This is some weird stuff", pattern = False)
-
-    # Using a regular expression (more robust) - pattern = True is the default
-    Ex().has_output(r"This is some \w* stuff",
-                    no_output_msg = "Print out ``This is some ... stuff`` to the output, fill in ``...`` with a word you like.")
-
-
-Checking ``print()`` calls
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Checking whether the right printouts were done is easy:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    x = 4
-    print(x)
-
-    # sct
-    Ex().has_printout(0)
-
-``has_printout()`` will look for the printout in the solution code that you specified with ``index`` (0 in this case), rerun the ``print()`` call in
-the solution process, capture its output, and verify whether the output is present in the output of the student.
-
-Watch out: ``has_printout()`` will effectively **rerun** the ``print()`` call in the solution process after the entire solution script was executed.
-If your solution script updates the value of `x` after executing it, ``has_printout()`` will not work:
-
-.. code::
-
-    # solution
-    x = 4
-    print(x)
-    x = 6
-
-    # sct that won't work
-    Ex().has_printout(0)
-
-In this example, when the ``print(x)`` call is executed, the value of ``x`` will be 6, and pythonwhat will look for the output `'6`' in the output the student generated.
-In cases like these, default to using the classical pattern to check function calls:
-
-.. code::
-    
-    # sct that will work
-    Ex().check_function('print').check_args(0).has_equal_value()``

+### Improved
+
+Documentation has been improved significantly (hopefully):
+
+- Every 'compound statement check' has an example with explanation in the reference now.
+- Common usecases have additional examples
+- Checking compound statements article has been simplified, limits to context now.
+- More helpful message in case check_object or has_printout not called on root state
+- More helpful message in case the zoomed in on object is not an AST
+- Explain has_equal_value vs has_equal_ast
+- Get rid of some articles in favor of more fleshed out reference documentation
+
+### Fixed
+
+- CI is now using the `datacamp` account on PyPi
+

 Instead of having to specify which value an object should be, we can have pythonwhat look into the solution process and compare the object in that process with the object in the student process.

     Args:
         state: State instance describing student and solution code. Can be omitted if used with Ex().
         tests: one or more sub-SCTs that all should not pass.
-        args: one or more sub-SCTs to run.
+        msg: feedback if not all tests fail.
+
+    :Example:
+        The SCT fails with feedback for a specific incorrect value, defined using an override: ::
+
+            Ex().check_object('result').multi(
+                check_not(
+                    has_equal_value(override=100),
+                    msg='100 is incorrect for reason xyz.'
+                ),
+                has_equal_value()
+            )
+
+        Notice that ``check_not`` comes before the ``has_equal_value`` test
+        that checks if the student value is equal to the solution value.
 
     :Example:
         The SCT below runs two ``has_code`` cases: ::
 
             Ex().check_not(
                 has_code('mean'),
-                has_code('median')
+                has_code('median'),
+                msg='Check your code'
             )
 
         If students use ``mean`` or ``median`` anywhere in their code, this SCT will fail.
 
     Note:
-        - This function is currently only tested in working with has_code in the subtests.
+        - This function is not yet tested with all checks, please report unexpected behaviour.

 All notable changes to the pythonwhat project will be documented in this file. This project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
 
+## 2.19.0
+
+- `state` is now the first argument to SCT functions (instead of a keyword argument)
+- functionality is shared with protowhat:
+  - `Reporter`, `Chain`, `F` and logic SCTs are reused
+  - `State` and `Feedback` inherit
+  - `Dispatcher` handles parsing (decoupled from `State`)
+  - `Test` moved
+
 ## 2.18.1
 
 ### Fixed
