D20 School Library Parser
Overview
A script that iterates over a hard to read list of school library books and converts the data into a readable and searchable format. I was approached by a non-profit group to build this tool.
It takes in a list of books, iterates over it, stores the results as it parses the data, then returns the results to the user via a simple GUI. I designed and implemented the code in Python, and after user validation handed the script over to the group.
Objective: Convert difficult to read list of books into a searchable and readable format.
Highlights: I designed and implemented this script in about 6 hours of development and test time.
Role: Contractor
Technologies: Python (tkinter, pandas)
Outcome
The initial data was essentially unusable. My script enabled the group to search for the data they needed in a reasonable amount of time.
