If internet connection doesn't exist, store the event to be added to calendar in some json file. And later when there's internet connection, sync it to Google calendar.

Internet connection can be determined by posting a request to Google.com or something (neglecting the probability of Google's server being down) & checking it's response...

Also, is a terminal version of this possible for offline cases? I mean, can ALL the events be stored into json and be accessed with bash commands with tab auto_complete feature?

As is obvious by the name of the issue the repo needs to be updated with the dates of the 2020 spring semester.

The academic calendar for 19-20 can be found at http://www.iitkgp.ac.in/files/acad_cal1920.pdf

Implement optional CLI arguments --output and --input using which the user can supply the path to the output ICS file and the input data file

Currently, we do not check for the validation of roll numbers entered.

In practicality it is not feasible to verify if the roll number is correct but
we can surely filter wrong formatted rolls numbers using REGEX check.

if ("Class of " in event['summary'] or "Lab of " in event['summary']):

KeyError: 'summary'

This issue is not about a specific post. I'd rather like to discuss a few things that increase the scope of the project.

• 'Export' calender (*.ics files, I believe) or create a per user link that people can add to their own calender.
• Having worked on naarad, we can scrape events from most of the society pages periodically and create calender events - no need to do anything manually. This, too, can be offered as an exported calender.

I do not know what are the specific issues in implementing these, but I think that the above combined with a resolution of existing issues will really pack a punch.

Ideas?

After running del_events.py only current month's events are removed from calendar.

Work begun at: https://github.com/icyflame/gyft/tree/generate-ics-file

The generated ics file includes institute holidays for the whole year. Due to this, some holidays may be repeated if gyft is used for both semesters. Adding holidays only relevant to the semester will be better.

Additionally, having an option to add holiday events or not would be nice.

Improvisation in selecting date periods :

(1) The Sync should be made to the Google Calendar, only till beginning of end-semester exams. Currently, the sync is made for all weeks after the current week.
(2) The week of mid-semester / end-semester exams should be left vacant at least, or even better - be filled with the user's mid-semester / end-semester timetable.

Labs are not included in current subjects.json

Just because some classes are not included in subjects.json , the class is being classified as a lab. Instead, how about checking the number of hours of the class on that day?

if number_of_hours < 3 => class
else => lab

When logging in with a first year roll number, the following error occurred:

ss:

P.S.: only checked with one first year roll number (mine).

Current request library comes with a security threat. We need to use: requests>=2.20.0.

Update it in the requirements.txt file.

• Changes made in #96 - solved in #98
• Make instructions more organised and concise - using better format, preferably this - solved in #110
• A logo?

There is a vulnerability in the urllib3 version we currently use.

Update it to urllib3>=1.23

I couldn't track down the dependency apiclient. I used apiclient==1.0.2 from here but it says that apiclient.discovery (which you have imported) doesn't exist. Any ideas?

Currently we ask the user to input password and, for obvious reasons, it's a bad practice.

A better way to do this would be using OCR and identifying elements by reading the image of time table taken using any device, or in the very least, just the actual timetable.

@ghostwriternr Any other spec you'd like to see? Assign to me :)

$ python gyft.py --help
Enter your ERP password:

Asking for the password in such scenario is totally irrelevant.

Instead of just printing to use generate_ics.py in the end of gyft.py, prompt the user for confirmation whether they want ics file or not and if yes we can just directly execute the generate_ics.py script.

Same goes for add_events.py

And integrate del_events.py via a cli argument what they want to do. Basically one should only use gyft.py for whatever their need be

Note I am not clear about the role of del_events.py so let's first of al complete the first two tasks and if you know what the other file does please tell me.

• The file of interest is network.py and hence gyft.py

Network.py has various things which are already handled by the package itself, like:

• Specifying cookies separately anywhere (this is handled well enough internally)
• No need to "refresh_cookies" - not sure, test this claim

Thus the functions of interest are:

• refresh_cookies -> Not needed
• post -> Remove usage of cookies
• login -> Update accordingly

after adding to Google calendar, its default setting it to repeat till 2018
can be repeated till the week end

Get vacation list and exam times from academic calendar and hack it into add_events.py.

Python standard package manager is Pipenv now, and the gyft requirements should shift to it.

ConnectionRefusedError: [WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

The script doesn't work behind proxy; I guess the error is in the building of the drive application which uses httplib2 to establish the connection.

We currently take roll number as an argument and do not check if it is provided or not.

It would be good to have a check if the argument ("user") is not None and if it is None, ask the user to enter it and then proceed.

If there are no events on a given day, the program throws the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "gyft.py", line 114, in <module>
    txt = tds[a].find('b').text.strip()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text'

ICS file generated from Gyft cannot be imported to Google Calendar.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Generate .ics file from gyft.
2. Go to google calendar on desktop. Click Settings icon on the top right.
3. Go to Import and Export tab.
4. Upload the downloaded file.
5. Click import.

Screenshot:

• Modularisation of gyft.py into

  Note Time table extractor will be imported in both - obviously.

  • Timetable extractor - @Devansh-bit
  • CLI workflow(login) - @Devansh-bit
  • WebApp workflow (login) [<- This is backend] - #132
• #128
• Archive gyft-serve
• #134
• #133

The timetable is read correctly. But the events are added to the wrong months.

In the 1st format of timetable I am able to store the timetable to data.txt

While in the 2nd format it generates an error

The error is following:

AttributeError: module 'oauth2client' has no attribute 'file'
while running add_event.py.
Modify add_events.py and del_events.py accordingly

The idea is pretty simple, we don't have to maintain a subjects.json for fetching the name of the course. We can directly fetch it from erp itslef.

Possible solutions:

• Using department timetable, with some trickery to get it
• Using the concept from gyfe

The script will begin with the following list of lists:

[ [ BEGIN_1, END_1 ], [ BEGIN_2, END_2 ], [ BEGIN_3, END_3 ], ...]

The events that are created will be created only in between these dates. i.e. timetable events won't be created for the time between END_1 and BEGIN_2 etc.

Once implemented, this can be easily improved to include both vacations (Durga Puja), mid-term, end-term, holidays (from the holiday list).

Do this in both the available flows:

• ICS generation
• Google Calendar Sync

On typing
python3 gyft.py
we get
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Anindita\OneDrive\Desktop\gyft\gyft.py", line 2, in
from timetable import delete_calendar, create_calendar, build_courses, generate_ics

from timetable.extractor import *
File "C:\Users\Anindita\OneDrive\Desktop\gyft\timetable\extractor.py", line 4, in
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'bs4'

The error is:

$ python3 add_events.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "add_events.py", line 6, in <module>
    from apiclient import discovery
ImportError: cannot import name 'discovery'

1. apiclient is not listed in the present requirements.txt file. I added the line apiclient==1.0.3 and then ran pip3 install -r requirements.txt

2. I tried to import "discovery" inside a Python 3 shell, but it didn't work there either. I think they have dropped this submodule (?)

This issue has been faced before: shazow/apiclient#9 (comment)

Also, the author says

Possibly? Though I don't recall there ever being a discovery submodule.

Honestly this library is not very maintained anymore. It's very simple in what it does, so I haven't touched > it in years.

So, maybe you can use another library or fix this.

It might be useful back then but not now.
If required to create something other than just timetable.ics (Like - time table pdf or timetable CLI representation) we can directly use timetable_dict.

This is just an overhead at this point

Currently, line 77 of add_events.py throws socket error due to insti proxy.

Modification required is :
http = credentials.authorize(httplib2.Http(proxy_info = httplib2.ProxyInfo(httplib2.socks.PROXY_TYPE_HTTP_NO_TUNNEL, '10.3.100.207', 8080)))

Current web app is based on the password model which will be replaced with the OCR model and hence we require a new web app.

Under this web app, the user will be able to submit an image and download the ICS file after all the backend work is done.

@ghostwriternr assign me please.

I'm not sure what the problem is, but I think there is some API restriction or something, due to which the program ended (by Nov 11) , whereas it should have deleted all events till Nov 20.

Test case :

For roll number 14IE10029 , gyft.py fails with error Key error 7 for timetable_dict[days[i]] = {}. So, days is initialized from 1 to 6, and yet due to misalignment of rows in ERP timetable, it tries to access days[7] which throws an error.

LIke currently it shows N241 and likewise.
If we add the proper lat-lng, it can be shown in Google Maps.
TODO:

• Add latitude-longitude of all the departments (possibly on wiki)
• Store the same in this repo as a json
• load the json in the program and add it to the google calendar event

Add a user preference file which contains the semantics of the message to be added onto the Google Calendar. This will preferably be a yaml / json / md file - which will be gitignore-d.

class: "Class of "
lab: "Lab of "

On the web portal of gyft, this can be taken as input (rather than a file) from the user before syncing.

Currently the timeline only includes endsems and midsems. We can extend that to:

• Durga Pooja and other breaks mentioned in Academic Calendar
• Institute holidays from here. Possibly scrape them directly?

Previously, we searched for regex Class of or Lab of in del_events.py to choose only events added by gyft and then delete them. But after merging of PR #15 , this regex will no longer be valid. We need some other way to delete gyft events from Google Calendar.
