A desktop application developed in Python with PyQt5 to help students organise their work in a student planner consisting of an agenda and a timetable.
These instructions will help you to get the software for this student planner running on your computer.
Python 3.7.0 or later is required for this software to run. It can be installed from Python's website here.
The following Python library must be installed, as it is not built into the Python installation by default:
- pyqt5 [for user interfaces]
pip install pyqt5
You can run the student planner by running student_planner.py, which will
provide you with a main menu for the application.
The main menu helps you to navigate across the parts of the student planner, which includes My Subjects, Agenda, and Timetable.
This enables you to enter the subjects which you are studying. These will appear in the dropdown menus in other parts of the application to select the relevant subject.
In the agenda, you can enter tasks which you must complete in the future. This includes the task title, subject, and due date for the task.
The timetable helps you to organise your weekly schedule by editing a 5x5 grid, which represents five hourly slots across the weekdays. In this grid, each cell can be edited to add a subject, teacher, and room for that hour.
Qt Creator was used to design the user interfaces for this project in a what you see is what you get (WYSIWYG) editor.
PyQt5's
pyuic5
was used to generate the base Python code from the user interface designs,
effectively converting the .ui files to .py files. These generated code
files were marked with the _setup.py suffixes, and they were imported into the
other Python files so that functionality could be developed for the user
interface objects.
