Learning how to use GitHub's CoPilot as a pair programmer to get me through doing C and Javascript programming, as part of my BitGrid project, so I can eventually have something worthy of ShowHN.

I apparently also need to learn about VENV as it applies to python, so I can get WikidPad to run properly, as it's frozen in 2012-ish python.

it might take a bit of work to get going but if poetry is compatible you might try poetry as it is excellent at compiling and freezing dependencies. Is the source only available here? https://wikidpad.sourceforge.net/. OH NVM I found https://github.com/WikidPad/WikidPad

Spoiler alert the tests folder is empty. There appears to be a bunch of branches including this one https://github.com/WikidPad/WikidPad/tree/experiment-convert... which might help you along the way with getting a modern build actually working.
