KUPython

######################################################################### KUPython is a small Python module intended to help easily build scripts or small applications for KU's studentnet Absalon.

In order for KUPython to work the Requests Library need to be installed.

#########################################################################

• Get started:

  • Start a new session with the absalonSession class. Example:

      from KUPython import absalonSession
      from assignments import assignments
      
      user = <username>
      passw = <password>
      
      kusession = absalonSession(user, passw)
    

• Test status for assignments.

  • Example to test for assignments from all courses

        def getstatus():
            newsession = assignments(user, passw)
        
            status = "" 
            for folder in newsession.assignmentfolders:
                status += newsession.checkassignments(folder)
            return status
    

    • Since the result from getstatus will be html formatted it can just be dumped to a file.

        def dump(html):
            dump = open('result.html', 'w')
            dump.write(html)
            dump.close()
