Study Manager Scripts

Collection of scripts I used for managing my studies

main.py

Contains core functionality of the Study Manager. Namely it can:

• Create symlink of the current relevant course (CC) to a easily reachable destination like ~/CurrentCourse/
• List relevant resources for the CC like links, username, passwords, etc.

Usage

• main.py -c to select CC
• main.py -l to list resources
• main.py -t to create entries for all lecture in your calendar using khal

Configuration

• Create config file at ~/.config/StudyManager/config containing all the following options. See ./config for an example
  • CURRENT_COURSE_LINK_DST: Path to folder containing all relevant courses
  • COURSES_ROOT_DIR: Path to symlink for the CC
  • INFO_FILE: Name of infofile contained in CC
  • TIMETABLE_FILE: Name of timetable file contained in CC
  • CALENDAR: Name of Khal calendar to use
  • SEMESTER: Unique identifier for current semester
  • SEMESTER_START: Date of first day in semester
  • SEMESTER_END: Date of last day in semester
• Create folders for each course in COURSES_ROOT_DIR
• Create INFO_FILE inside each course containing information about the course. See ./info.yaml for an example
  • title: Name of lecture (required)
  • short: Shortform of lecture title (required)
  • Arbitrarily other key/value pairs like web, username, etc. (optional)
• Create TIMETABLE_FILE inside each course containing the timetable of that course. The structure for one event is as follows. See ./info.yaml for an example
  • ArbitraryName:
    • day: Day of the event. One of: Mon, Tue, Wed, Tue, Fri, Sat, Sun
    • start: Startime of event
    • end: Endtime of event
