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 & running

The code is currently designed to run on Python 3.6.* and requires the getch module on platforms other than Windows.

Binaries can be built using pyinstaller: pyinstaller --onefile ib-clearance.py
