        A collection of tools to analyze student's work in a pipeline.
        Pedal not only provides some of these tools, but it provides a *framework*
        around those tools.
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Install from PyPi::
            
            pip install pedal
        
        Or install from the https://github.com/acbart/pedal repository
        
        Important Concepts
        ==================
        
        Pedal revolves around providing *Feedback Functions* that can be called in an
        Instructor Control Script to generate *Feedback* for a *Submission*, which are
        all attached to a *Report*. A *Resolver* can then transform that Feedback into
        something that an *Environment* can hand off to a learner (or other interested
        party). These Feedback Functions are organized into *Tools*.

        One of our major goals is to attach metadata to feedback to enable easier
        analysis, versioning, and evaluation. Although Instructor Control Scripts can
        be written very imperatively to specify very complex (or simple) grading logic,
        we are trying to reach an elegant, declarative style. This will enable tooling
        to automatically generate reports on occurrences of feedback, connect to
        datasets like those in the ProgSnap format, and allow us to "unit test our
        unit tests".
        
        One of our other goals for this project is to categorize Feedbacks' Conditions
        and Responses, using concepts established by Narciss 2006. For example, we
        say some Kinds of Responses are "hints" instead of "mistakes". We also say
        that Conditions can be Categorized as being from "Specifications" or
        "Runtime".
