Getting started with the service

1. Install python 2.7.12 from [here] (https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-2712/)
2. Clone the repository using git clone -b master https://github.com/ayush-vibrant/Serioholic-TV-Series-Reminder-Innovacer.

user="MY_USER"     
password="MY_PASSWORD"

Prerequisites

• All the scipts that I have created were tested successfully on Linux based OSes with Python 2.7.12 installed on the system.

Description

• Aforementioned script requires email address and list of favourite TV series for multiple users as input. The prompt is as follows:
  Email address: [email protected]
  TV Series: Game of thrones, suits, friends, black mirror, gotham
  
• The script (database.py) stores the input data in series table in MySQLdb named mydatabase.
  
• A single email is sent to the input email address with all the appropriate response for every TV series. The content of the mail depends on the following use cases:

1. Exact date is mentioned for next episode.
2. Only year is mentioned for next season.
3. All the seasons are finished and no further details are available.
