# python-editor
Browser-based Python editing: **FastAPI** serves static assets, stores workspace files, and optional **API key auth**. **Pyodide** runs your scripts and **Jedi** (inside Pyodide) powers completions — no server-side Python execution or Jedi.
## Run
```bash
cp .env.example .env # optional: set WORKSPACE_ROOT, EDITOR_API_KEY, etc.
pipenv install
pipenv run dev
```
Configuration is read from **`.env`** at the repo root (see `.env.example`). Values there are applied when the app loads unless the variable is already set in your shell. [Pipenv](https://pipenv.pypa.io/) also loads `.env` for `pipenv run` commands.
Tests (includes **pytest** and **selenium** in dev dependencies):
```bash
pipenv run test
pipenv run test-integration # Playwright; optional
```
### Selenium
Selenium talks to a **real browser** against a **running server** (not the in-process `TestClient`).
1. Install **Google Chrome** or Chromium on the machine (Selenium 4 uses [Selenium Manager](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/selenium_manager/) to resolve a matching driver).
2. In one terminal, start the app (default `http://127.0.0.1:8080`):
```bash
pipenv run dev
```
3. In another terminal:
```bash
pipenv run test-selenium
```
If the app listens elsewhere, set **`SELENIUM_BASE_URL`** (e.g. `http://127.0.0.1:9000`) before running.
Or run only Selenium-marked tests:
```bash
cd src && PYTHONPATH=. pipenv run pytest ../tests -m selenium -v
```
If nothing is listening, the smoke test **skips** with a short message instead of failing.
Open [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
## Deploy with Docker
Build and run with Docker Compose:
```bash
cp .env.example .env
mkdir -p data
docker compose up --build
```
Then open [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080).
Notes:
- `workspace/` is mounted to `/app/workspace` so your code persists locally.
- `data/` is mounted to `/app/data` for the SQLite auth DB.
- In container mode, `WORKSPACE_ROOT` and `AUTH_DATABASE_PATH` are set by `docker-compose.yml`.
**User accounts** — Set `AUTH_ENABLED=true` in `.env` to require sign-in for workspace APIs. Users live in a SQLite file (`AUTH_DATABASE_PATH`, default `./data/editor.db`). Use `/register` (if `AUTH_REGISTER_OPEN=true`) or `BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_USERNAME` / `BOOTSTRAP_ADMIN_PASSWORD` for the first superuser. Superusers can **GET/POST/DELETE `/api/users`** to list, create, or remove accounts.
**API key** — If `EDITOR_API_KEY` is set, requests may use `Authorization: Bearer …` instead of a session (useful for automation). When `AUTH_ENABLED=true`, a valid session *or* API key is accepted.
The home page can store the API key in `sessionStorage` when you are not using cookie login, or use `?api_key=` on `/editor`.
## Layout
- `src/` — FastAPI app and static UI (`src/static/`)
- `workspace/` — default tree: `code/` (editable), `lib/` (read-only via API)
## ESP32 / NeoPixel mock
The browser runtime now includes MicroPython-style mocks in `workspace/lib`:
- `machine.Pin`
- `neopixel.NeoPixel`
Use them from scripts in `workspace/code` exactly like ESP32 examples:
```python
from machine import Pin
import neopixel
np = neopixel.NeoPixel(Pin(4), 8)
np[0] = (255, 0, 0)
np.write()
```
`write()` updates the NeoPixel simulator window so you can verify behavior visually.

## Dev auto-reload hook
Project hook files are included in `.cursor/`:
- `.cursor/hooks.json`
- `.cursor/hooks/dev-reload-touch.sh`
When files are edited through Cursor tools, the hook updates `src/static/.reload-token`.
The editor (on localhost) polls that token and auto-reloads the browser when it changes.
