This program can be used to record and analyse Continued Professional Development (CPD) Activities. It will create CSV file that lets you add new activities.

CPD Rules are based on the BPEQ and Engineers Australia conditions.

Install

pip install cpdlog

Or alternatively, if you have uv installed you can run it directly by calling uvx cpdlog.

Add an entry

Web GUI

A web GUI is also available to be generated based on the CSV file.

Logfile location

If you don't want to parse the --logfile argument every time, it will assume the CSV is located at cpdlog.csv in whatever directory you run the command from.

Alternatively, you can set the path to your logfile as an environment variable CPD_LOG_FILE.
