Notes

The final data is produced in three steps:

A python script file with predefined structure that has to export certain variables in a specified format.
An intermediate representation (probably an array that contains relevant data and assumes unknown properties)
The XML structure for one or multiple questions, readable by Ilias.
An Ilias object packed as .zip file, ready for upload.

The tool will ship with a VirtualBox containing Ilias Versions used in production. With hallgrim upload <xml script> it is possible to upload these scripts quickly and see a how they look like in a working Ilias system.
