a simple find my seat command line tool to find seat #, exam hall, exam time of a certain student just by running one command. Note: if you want to see the working of this program in action you can visit this link: https://youtu.be/hkyjOBrrhMY
Important: YOU NEED FIREFOX TO RUN THIS SHIT OTHER WISE CHANGE THE SELENIUM CODE YOURSELF. I'M TIRED.
Instructions:
- Open cmd on windows or bash terminal on linux systems.
- Navigate to the folder containing project.
- type command "python find_my_seat.py". type in arguments for additional functionality. Also see: Arguments.
- type in your name and batch and last 4 digits of your roll number. Name does not matter but batch and roll number must be correct.
- wait and see the results.
Note: in cases where two sections are adjusted in the same room, the registered section of the student may appear wrong. but finding that is not the focus of this program so please ignore it. or better yet maybe help me to fix this lol.
the time functionality is not generalized yet. It is hard coded because I am lazy and I have been working for too long on this project and now I just want to share it ASAP. may be I will fix it or maybe not.
leave a rating. thanks for using this program. in case of feedback or review or complaint, kindly write an email to me at [email protected]
To-do:
- include a parameter time, which, when set to True, also displays the timing of the exam.
- Add arguments functionality.
- add references to code snippets taken from the internet.
- try a different pdf module.
- correct incorrect results.
- correct display of section is cases where there are two sections.
- Make dialog box to take input argument values instead of command line arguments (use PySimpleGUI).
- download final version of the timetable from gmail api.
