pylifttk 0.0.19

Python utility toolkit for Princeton CS's LIFT.

pylifttk

This is a Python utility library for Princeton COS' LIFT.

This library tries to conveniently integrate a collection of educational tech tools used at Princeton's Department of Computer Science, to facilitate exchanges of data between those platforms.

Services integrated by this library

This library integrates:

• codePost (roster, grades);
• Ed Discussion (roster);
• CSStaff Course API (roster, assignments);
• TigerFile (roster, assignments, submissions);
• GradeScope (roster, grades).

Configuration file

Since this library integrates the functionality of several platforms, it requires access to credentials for each of those platforms. As such the config.yaml file does a lot of the heavy lifting. Note that each subsection of the file is only loaded if the corresponding submodules are loaded in Python.
