Auto-Generate Tool for eng.pdn.ac.lk Interim Transcript Template (Unofficial)

Installation

pip install pera-transcript

Using the tool

  1. Generate the latex file:

The tool provides three ways of specifying metadata in order to generate the latex file. Choose any of the following methods that you find convenient.

  • Specify metadata as a set of command-line arguments:

    autogen_transcript --user "E/XX/YYY" --passwd "password" --DOB "DD Month YYYY" --dept_head "Prof. John A. Doe"

  • Using a "metadata.yml" file: Create a "metadata.yml" file with your registeration number, course registeration portal password, your date of birth, and the name of your head of department as following:

    user: E/XX/YYY # Your registeration number
passwd: xxxxxx # Your password for the course registeration / degree claim account
DOB: DD Month YYYY # Your date of birth
dept_head: Prof. John A. Doe # The name of your head of department

    Then, run the tool as follows:

    autogen_transcript --meta_path="/path/to/metadata.yml"

  • Specify the metadata as a JSON formatted string in the command-line argument:

    If using Windows,

    autogen_transcript --meta_cfg "{\"user\": \"E/XX/YYY\", \"passwd\": \"password\", \"DOB\": \"DD Month YYYY\", \"dept_head\": \"Prof. John A. Doe\"}"

    If using Linux,

    autogen_transcript --meta_cfg '{"user": "E/XX/YYY", "passwd": "password", "DOB": "DD Month YYYY", "dept_head": "Prof. John A. Doe"}'
  1. Generate both latex and pdf files:
autogen_transcript --compile (--meta_path META_PATH | --meta_cfg META_CFG | --user USER --passwd PASSWD --DOB DOB --dept_head DEPT_HEAD)
