Saving and Publishing to Coop

How to persist EDSL objects locally and share them via Coop (Expected Parrot's servers). The object itself is defined in another Python file e.g., study_survey.py or study_agent_list.py

Pushing to Coop

1. Descriptive name — used to generate the alias and description
2. Visibility — one of "public", "private", or "unlisted"
3. Script - write a short script to get the object

For 3:

from study_survey import survey as obj
obj.push(
    visibility="unlisted",
    description="<paragraph description based on user's descriptive name>",
    alias="<valid-url-slug-from-descriptive-name>"
)

After pushing, print the results so the user can see them (URL, alias, visibility).

Alias Rules

• Must be a valid URL slug (lowercase, hyphens, no spaces or special characters)
• Generate from the descriptive name the user provides
• Example: "US Senators 2024" -> us-senators-2024

Error Handling

If the push fails (e.g., alias already taken), update the alias or description and retry.
