conference-scheduler-cli
Advanced tools
A command line tool to manage the schedule for a conference.
The library requires Python 3.6 or later. The simplest way to install is::
pip install conference-scheduler-cli
To install from source code::
git clone https://github.com/PyConUK/ConferenceScheduler-cli
cd ConferenceScheduler-cli
python setup.py install
The tool expects to find a directory with the necessary data files to define
the conference. By default it will look for a directory named input under
the current working directory.
It will generate YAML files in the format required by the conference
website. By default, these will be placed a in a build directory under the
current working directory.
It will also generate .csv and .pickle files to store the calculated
schedule and its associated definition and a log file with the full details of
the most recent calculation. By default, these will be placed in a
solution directory under the current working directory.
The input, solution and build directories can be passed to the tool as
command line options in place of the default locations.
To build the schedule with the default options::
scheduler build
There are also further options, e.g. to set the logging verbosity or the solver algorithm to use. To view those options::
scheduler --help
or, for the options for a specifc command::
scheduler build --help
