# QFactory is a class that can generate question instances, e.g. by shuffling
# options, running a script to generate the question, etc.
#
# To generate an instance of a question we use the method generate().
# It returns a question instance of the correct class.
# There is also an asynchronous version called gen_async(). This version is
# synchronous for all question types (radio, checkbox, etc) except for
# generator types which run asynchronously.
#
# Example:
#
#   # make a factory for a question
#   qfactory = QFactory({
#       'type': 'radio',
#       'text': 'Choose one',
#       'options': ['a', 'b']
#       })
#
#   # generate synchronously
#   question = qfactory.generate()
#
#   # generate asynchronously
#   question = await qfactory.gen_async()
#
#   # answer one question and correct it
#   question['answer'] = 42          # set answer
#   question.correct()               # correct answer
#   grade = question['grade']        # get grade
#
