ib-clearance

ib-clearance is a program which helps schools manage the entrance and exiting of their IBDP students. Due to the unique nature of IB students' timetables, the program helps 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.*.

I recommend building executables with pyinstaller with pyinstaller --onefile ib-clearance.py.

Database specification

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

database.db must contain:

Table	Description
students	Contains students' names, ID numbers and subject preferences
timetable	Timetable information (lessons)

students

Column	Data type	Description
