Python MOSS Script

Helper script to upload a bunch of files downloaded from a Moodle or Canvas course to MOSS to find hints of plagiarism.

Usage

Must have the moss perl script in same directory with username and password filled out.

python moss.py [-a assignment_name] [-d] [-l c|python] [-m]

Options:

• -a Assignment name. Will be used in directory naming when uploading to MOSS.
• -d Whether to delete the directories created in unzipping the files.
• -l Language -- either 'c' or 'python'
• -m Whether this is a Moodle course or not (default: no, Canvas)

Will find all files ending in .zip in same directory as script and assume that they are the zipped download of all submissions for an assignment from Canvas or Moodle.
