A simple module for generating a bunch of SOPs for different schools.

Description

Using the same content framework, the package will generate multiple SOPs for different schools by replacing the school and program names with the target school and program in the statement.

Prerequisites

• An excel that includes school names and program names (e.g., school_list.xlsx)
• A docx file of your statement template (e.g., SOP_template.docx)

How to use (Mac)

Method 1: Run as package

Step 1: Pip Install package from your terminal

pip install DansonGo-5

Step 2: Generate SOPs

from SOP_GEN.GEN_SOP import GEN_SOP
import os

# Initial parameters
school_list = "~/school_list.xlsx" # The excel file path of your school and program list
SOP_temp_file = "~/SOP_template.docx" # The docx file path of your SOP template.
School_var = "School" # The column name where school names are saved in your school list.
Program_var = "Program" # The column name where program names are saved in your school list.
output_path = os.getcwd() # Output path where you want to save your output files.

# Generate SOPs
GEN_SOP(school_list,SOP_temp_file,School_var,Program_var,output_path).gen_sop()

Method 2: Run from terminal
