# ib-clearance

ib-clearance is a program which helps schools manage the entrance and exiting of their IB Diploma Program students. Due to the unique nature of IB students' timetables, the program helps to automatically check individual timetables and give clearance to students who have finished for the day.

## Building

The code is currently designed to run on Python 3.6.*.

Binaries can be built using the `pyinstaller` package (`pyinstaller --onefile ib-clearance.py`).

## Database specification

The program requires a SQLite database `database.db` in the working directory, containing data for all classes.

`database.db` must contain:

| Table       | Description                                                  |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| `students`  | Contains students' names, ID numbers and subject preferences |
