uwaterloo-addcourse 1.0.5

Package for easily adding a course on UWaterloo's QUEST.

This python package allows one to easily interact with the University of Waterloo’s QUEST system to easily add a course.

Install

The Repository

You can install this package from source using:

git clone https://github.com/kcolford/uwaterloo-addcourse.git
cd uwaterloo-addcourse
python setup.py install

PyPi

Using easy_install, you just have to invoke:

easy_install uwaterloo-addcourse

You can use pip to install this package with just:

pip install uwaterloo-addcourse

You can also navigate to our PyPi page and choose one of the download links at the bottom.

Usage

There are two ways to use this API: the command line and the python interpreter. Note that when using the interpreter, you have more control over the queries you would have when using the command line. Although the command line is far more user friendly.

Command Line

To add a class from the command line, simply invoke the helper script like so:

user@computer:~/$ addcourse
Desired Course: cs246
QUEST ID: jsmith
Password:
...

For command line arguments, see addcourse --help.

Python Interpreter

Simply write a script like so:

#! /usr/bin/env python

from addcourse import *

addcourse('jsmith', 'password123', numbers('cs246'))

Note that the call to numbers fetches a list of class numbers that correspond to the given course code (in this case 'cs246'). You can then use a splicing or other list manipulations to delete classes you don’t want or add alternative classes that you do want. See pydoc addcourse for more information.
