This tool gives students in graduate programs with different tracks the ability to verify their existing plan meets any specific requirements for classes.
Presently, there is only one plan definition for Portland State University. The format of the file should be extensible enough to support similar plans at other schools.
An example plan.json is provided to show how to describe a plan. It is simply a list of desired classes.
The default behavior is to simply process your plan and show what tracks you meet as well as the number of credits.
$ ./cs.py --school pdx.json plan.json
***** Plan meets requirements for tracks: core, lang, sys
Credits 45/45
To view the plan in a human-readable format, simply add --showplan.
$ ./cs.py --showplan --school pdx.json plan.json
***** Plan meets requirements for tracks: core, lang, sys
