Introduction

Disclaimer - this is by no means a reflection of my coding abilities, it's a small tool that I spun up quickly, to work. Pls don't hire/fire me based on the quality of this code :(

Introduction

A tool designed for UNSW Tutors who wish to create an ICS file with their teaching timetable :)

Assumptions

Calare works under the assumption that you teach a 1 hour tutorial, followed by a 2 hour lab.

It also does not schedule classes for midsemester break (currently set to week 6).

To edit these assumptions, see constants.py

Additionally, this tool currently only works for offerings that are in the range:

 20T3 <= offering <= 22T1

It will be extended when 2022 term dates are availiable.

Usage

First, install the needed requirements with:

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Running the command

./calare

or

python3 calare

will lead you through an interactive sequence of steps.

You will initially be asked to provide

• Your Name
• Course you are teaching
• Offering (ie 20T3)

Then, you will infinitely be asked to add classes, and you will be prompted for:

• Class Code (ie H13A)
• Tutor or Assistant Tutor?
• Do you want the tutorial to be added if you are an assistant tutor?

Finally, the ICS file will be created for you to input into your Outlook or GCal :)

Enjoy!

Notes

Daylight savings bug fixed in 5da477c

Pretty fragile, but hopefully you can modify it to suit your needs! If you have any troubles, please tweet me @SpanishPear :D

Future Features

• Ability to parse the tutor timetable page, ie 1511
• Ability to provide text file input, make it more unix'y
• Web interface?? idk
