Initial Major Restructure about pedal

[lukesg08]

All of what you said looks fine to me. I'm not sure I understand the "The init.py file in each module should expose the client-facing functions/variables/classes." because I'm not very well versed in python, but my understanding is that it's used for pathing?

Yep, just a matter of making imports prettier. if you put stuff into init.py, those things are available when you import the module. You can get some more info here.

After some design, I think there needs to be one more aspect to our pipeline: setting the source. This is the entry point for most of the modules, since they all need access to the students' source code. There might be some other elements that need to be set via the environment, but I think this is the primary. Others include:

• Initial results of running students' code (output, variables, etc. a la Sandbox)
• Student usage patterns (how long they've been in the app, when they last took a break, etc.) that could be used for more metacognitive feedback ("Have you taken a break lately?")
• Previous feedback delivered

Anyway, I have a design in mind, I'm going to mock it out and you can see what you think.
