ClassPy

Overview

This is a basic UF API and schedule builder for UF students written in Python. The purpose of this module is to make it easier for students to view their available classes and to serve as an API for other programs.

Installation

$ pip install -e <PATH>

Note that Python 3.12 is required to run ClassPy.

Schedule Builder

A basic terminal based schedule builder that allows users to make iterative queries to the UF Schedule of Courses with the course_query function through the asynchronous class-method ScheduleBuilder.build to build up a Schedule object.

import asyncio
from classpy import ScheduleBuilder

async def main() -> None:
	schedule = await ScheduleBuilder.build()
	print(schedule)

if __name__ == '__main__':
	asyncio.run(main())

Course Query API

The primary course query API of the module, course_query, is a simple asynchronous function that returns a tuple of Course instances representing all results of the search in the UF Schedule of Courses.

import asyncio
from classpy import course_query

async def main() -> None:
	courses = await course_query(code='MAD2502', ...)
	print(courses[0])

if __name__ == '__main__':
	asyncio.run(main())

Gator Evals Scraping

GatorEvalsScraper.py requires Selenium chrome-driver and the tableau link of the Gator Evals page GatorEvalsScraper.py works by first simulating a user inputted click on the instructor_name dropdown menu pyautogui is then used to simulate a click and drag on the scrollbar of the dropdown menu It then uses Selenium webdriver to iterate through each teacher and take a screenshot This screenshot is then renamed to the professor's name and cropped + compressed to focus the data This produces a folder to be used with the gator_evals_searcher.py gator_evals_searcher.py works by first accepting a user inputted instructor name It then searches through the folder provided by GatorEvalsScraper.py for a filename matching that user inputted name If the file is found, that file is selected and shown, if not, a string is returned reporting that no image was found.
