personalizedexams

This is a small framework explaining how to run python directly from LaTex. We use this to generate personalized exams. See this presentation.

General compilation process:

Create problem and solution separately:

Create many variants of the same exam:

compile

foo@bar:~$ MATRICULATIONID=132 SEED=12 pdflatex --enable-pipes --shell-escape exam.tex

Compiles the pdf using SEED as the seed for the pseudo-random engine: make sure to use a seed that is a function of the matriculationid, like that the generation process is determinsitic for every student.
