I'm a math teacher to undergraduate level students in France.

I want to set up an efficient and easy to handle exercises database (written in LaTeX). I'm not so sure of the best way to proceed. I could possibly use the packages xsim and exercise or use a Python package (such as on https://github.com/supermihi/exdb).

What would you suggest?

    Welcome to TeX.SE! Unfortunately your question is not really a good fit for the site, because it asks for an opinion on which package is the easiest/most efficient, and opinion-based questions are off-topic. However, you could try xsim which is well-documented and you can find many examples of using this package of the site. – Marijn Jul 16 '19 at 17:04
  • Sorry for the typo (you should read "Exercises database") – Vincent Jul 16 '19 at 17:10

    @Marijn Maybe it is nevertheless good enough, in my humble opinion it's similar to https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/11 which is a very popular question with 100k+ views :). – Dr. Manuel Kuehner Jul 16 '19 at 19:02
  • @Dr.ManuelKuehner that question is from 2010, when the criteria for what is on-topic were still being developed - such questions can still be useful but it is not really the best fit for the question/answer format. – Marijn Jul 16 '19 at 20:44
  • Thank you both. Shall I rewrite the question without mentioning explicit packages ? – Vincent Jul 17 '19 at 16:47
  • @Vincent a good way to write an on-topic question is to try one of the packages, find something that you want to do that you don't know how to do with that package, then write a minimal example, and ask a question 'I want to do this with the code below, how can I do it?' and then the answer can either be 'you can do it such-and-such with that package' or the answer could be 'this is not possible with the package but it can be done with other package X in such-and-such way'. – Marijn Jul 17 '19 at 19:09
  • OK. I will try to figure this out. Nonetheless, I figure my question has quite an interest... not sure of it however... Thanks, anyway ! – Vincent Jul 17 '19 at 20:58
  • If you are still in need you can take a look at https://github.com/CSMathematics/DataTex – mac Nov 24 '21 at 14:02
