This is a small command line python script which creates a .xls (excel compatible) spreadsheet from the Project Hamster Time Tracking application. Because managers like spreadsheets :) It can extract data for a specified date range (defaulting to the last 30 days), and can filter the data based on simple search terms.
From the inbuilt help:
usage: hamster-xls [-h] [-e DATE] [-s DATE] [-o FILE] [-f FILTER]
[-g {day,month,year}] [-b {category,activity}] [--version]
Create a .xls spreadsheet from your hamster time tracking data, with the
ability to specify the date range to extract.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-e DATE, --end-date DATE
the date tracking data should end at, inclusive in the
format YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to today)
-s DATE, --start-date DATE
the date tracking data should start from, inclusive in
the format YYYY-MM-DD (defaults to 30 days before the
end date)
-o FILE, --output FILE
the .xls spreadsheet file to create (defaults to
`./hamster-timesheet.xls`)
-f FILTER, --filter FILTER
limit the data based on search terms. Comma (",")
translates to boolean OR and space (" ") to boolean
AND.
-g {day,month,year}, --group {day,month,year}
group the tasks by day, month or year
-b {category,activity}, --group-by {category,activity}
choose the category to group by (defaults to
activity). Only useful in conjunction with `--group`
--version show program's version number and exit
