All your room are belong to us!
Booker is a set of python 3 scripts that automatically book group study rooms at the ANU library.
It is in a very early development stage, core functions are still being implemented. No features are available as of yet. All of the code is being written by two first-year engineering students, so its quality it pretty terrible (sorry).
- Auto-book rooms for every timetable break
- Multiple ANU accounts (more concurrent bookings)
- Configurable timetable, room preferences, libraries
- Email notifications or Google calendar integration
Booker uses requests python library to interact with the anulib.anu.edu.au website. All the information is stored in plain-text .conf files.
Apart from the main booker.py script, there are multiple utility modules:
- config.py works with (you guessed it), .conf files, storing and loading information from them.
- network.py contains functions to interact with the anulib website.
- notify.py generates and sends out email notifications and works with the calendar.
The configuration files are:
- timetable.conf contains information about breaks during which the rooms need to be booked.
- login.conf, which is not actually present on the repo for obvious reasons, contains a list of logins and passwords to be used for booking. (There's an .example file provided).
- cbook.conf stores all the current bookings.
- email.conf will be used for all notificaton-related stuff.
- rooms.conf is a room preference file (some study rooms are much better than the others).
