vote4film 1.5.2

Easy scheduling for regular film nights

Vote4Film

Simplify film selection for regular film nights. Participants can:

• Add films
• Vote for films
• Declare absences
• See the schedule which takes into account votes and absences

Admins can set the schedule of film nights.

This is a simple WSGI Web Application. The back-end is Django, and the front-end is dynamic HTML served by Django (no JavaScript is used).

Development

1. poetry install to set-up the virtualenv (one-off)
2. poetry run ./src/manage.py migrate to set-up the local DB (one-off)
3. poetry run ./src/manage.py runserver_plus
4. make fix, make check and make test before committing

TODO: Fix dependency on bbfcapi to be bbfcapi[apis] and remove direct dependency on pyhumps.
