Overview

Scheduler is a python script that creates Instructional Lab Schedules from a set of text files. By default, the program creates a summary page that has a 12-up view of all the schedules, and detail pages (8.5" x 5") for each of the individual schedules that are suitable for labeling the lab rooms (please print these on green cardstock).

Configuration

This is an example of the layout of an input file (called '103_4320.txt'):

M,12:05 301     Ojalvo    14:00
M,14:25 302     Carmody   16:20
M,16:35 303     Ojalvo    18:30
M,19:05 304     N/A       21:00

T,7:45  305     Carmody    9:40
T,9:55  306     Zeng      11:50
T,12:05 307     Zeng      14:00
...

and so on...

Input files must be named in the form <lab num>_<room num>.txt. The first column has a comma (',') with no space on either side separating the day of the week and the start time. Times are in 24-hour format. Columns are separated by any amount of tabs or spaces but cannot span lines. Lines that begin with a pound-sign ('#') will be ignored. Blank lines are also allowed, so please include them between days for readability.

Usage

To run the script just execute it from the command line (it takes no arguments). An example of the output:

[cwilson@trogdor]$ ./scheduler.py 
Generating summary in [summary.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [103_4320.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [104_3328.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [201_4314.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [207_4310.ps]...DONE

Windows:

C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\scheduler> scheduler.py
Generating summary in [summary.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [103_4320.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [104_3328.ps]...DONE
Generating individual in [201_4314.ps]...DONE
