How to Run Python Scripts

How to Run Python Scripts

There are two automation scripts: 1) automation.py: appends new mentors in samples/mentors.xslx to _data/mentor.yml

2) download_image.py: downloads image from a specified URL and saves in assets/images/mentors

Dependencies

python 3.11 or above

How to Execute on Mac

A) automation.py

sh run_automation.sh

Note:

• Ensure to update mentors.xslx with the new spreadsheet containing the mentors to be added, OR
• adjust the FILE_PATH_MENTORS_XLSX parameter in the script to match the file path for the new spreadsheet.

B) download_image.py

Before running the script, make sure to update the IMAGE_URL and MENTOR_NAME parameters in the run_download_automation script with:

• the URL you want to download the mentor’s image from, AND
• the mentor’s name as it appears in the spreadsheet e.g ‘Adriana Zencke’

You can then run:

sh run_download_automation.sh

C) meetup_import.py

sh run_meetup_import.sh

Note:

• New data will be imported to imported_events.yml
• Ensure to copy the generated data to events.yml and clear the file.

How to Execute on Windows

1) Install python

2) Navigate to the project’s \tools directory:

```
cd tools
```

3) Execute the desired script with the same steps as in How to Execute on Mac.
