Add commands to ease the day-to-day operations at EPFL

To be completed when work on the configuration options is done

(Requires Python 3)

A file site.url can be put in the directory of a course, enabling the opening of the course site by command line.

A valid file follows this format: each line begins with an url. If it is followed by a space, everything following this space will be considered to be the label of the url. The label is striped of its leading and tailing whitespace to take less visual space.

Example Algorithms/site.url:

http://moodle.epfl.ch/course/view.php?id=13768 Moodle
http://theory.epfl.ch/courses/algorithms/      General site
http://theory.epfl.ch/osven/                   Ola is cool

Then epfl o alg (read: epfl open algorithms) will give:

Possible sites for Algorithms
[1] Moodle       (http://moodle.epfl.ch/course/view.php?id=13768)
[2] General site (http://theory.epfl.ch/courses/algorithms/)
[3] Ola is cool  (http://theory.epfl.ch/osven/)
[q] Quit
Choice:

Configuration file can be found at ~/.config/epflmanager/config.ini. It consists of three sections: version, directories and moodle:

version: Contains the versions of epflmanager and the configuration reader used to generate the configuration file. Enables migrations of configuration.

directories:

• main_dir: the directory containing all the semesters
• semester_directories: names of the directories for every semesters, in chronological order. Used to determine the current semester.
• schedule_file: name of the file in the semester directory that contains the current semester schedule
• course_urls_file: name of the file stored in a course directory which contains the URLs of interest for this course
• moodle_config_file: name of the file containing Moodle informations/config for a particular course

moodle:

• main_url: url pointing to the home of Moodle
• course_url: url containing the pattern to access a particular course with its Moodle id
• cookie_file: name of the file that will hold current cookies for the connection the Moodle, in order to allow reconnection if done within a certain span of time (normally 4h)

• Open the configured URLs of a course
• Separation of the courses by semester
• Display your current schedule
• Create a new course directory
• Run the commands for a previous semester course
• The configuration file is read and used
• Possibility to link a course directory with a Moodle id

• Moodle connection & synchronization
• Init/setup script to install and configure options
