A python library that parses the St. Michaels University School School Data System student panel
To install, clone this repository somehere on your system and then import smusdsparser into your project.
The first step is creating a session. Currently, you cannot setup a session using your username and password (view issue).
# The session_id can be obtained by logging into SMUS SDS and using a chrome extension like EditThisCookie to find
# the PHPSESSID cookie value.
session_id = 'd59gobaahijptjm6rirp7dika5'
# The first step is creating our session
my_session = smussdsparser.Session(session_id)Using the session that we just created, you can request a variety of information. You can create a student object that holds all your data.
# We create a student object by passing our session to the Student class
my_account = smussdsparser.Student(my_session)
# Student objects have many attributes including name and courses
print('Welcome ' + my_account.name + '.')
print('You are currently enrolled in ' + str(len(my_account.courses)) + 'courses.')You can also loop over your courses and request assignment information.
for course in my_account.courses:
print(course.course_name + ' by ' + course.teacher_name)
if course.has_assignments:
print('Assignments:')
for assignment in course.get_assignments():
print(assignment.title + ' due on ' + assignment.due_date.strftime('%d %b %Y'))
else:
print('Your teacher has not enabled assignments.')Additionally, you can view your grades (as long as the teacher has enabled the feature).
for course in my_account.courses:
print(course.course_name + ' by ' + course.teacher_name)
if course.has_assignment_marks:
print('Assignment marks:')
for assignment_mark in course.get_assignment_marks():
print(assignment_mark.title + ' which you scored ' + assignment_mark.percent + ' in.')
else:
print('Your teacher has not enabled assignment mark viewing.')If you are a St. Michaels University School student, you know how old the School Data System (or SDS for short) look and feels. For that reason, I have created this library to aid in the creation of an API that would encourage current SMUS students to develop their own front-end.
