MarksheetGenerator

A script that can quicky generate Marksheets using CSV inputs

Introduction

This script was created due to the repetative task of generating Marksheets for the classes/labs I teach.
I wanted a quicker way to pull information and then generate marksheets from information that was accessible from other sources.

The solution I came up with was this, using CSVs it is possible to describe the Grading scheme (columns) and specify the Students, divided into Sections.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6+
• xlsxwriter

Using the script

You must create files the describe the marksheets you wish to generate.

There are three main files you need to have:

• Students
• Grading (Rubric)
• Sections (Partion)

Each file has a slightly different format, but they are all CSVs.

Install the needed libraries by running pip -r requirements.txt.

After this, you can edit the flags and constants in the python script.

Finally, run the python script doing something like py generate.py.

File formats

Files follow this format, where each line corresponds to a student
