All Files of Jhon Bryce 7732/3 Library Project - by Omer

This project spanning 2 weeks includes multiple files:

1. front end file - the main file of the projects creating all the menues and everything
2. library file - the "last line": the file taking all the seperate functions and classes and binding them together to all the major functions
3. 3 JSON log files - customers, books, log - contain all the respective information - about the books and thier details, the customers and thier information, and a log of all loans and returnes *currently this file contains some sample information
4. logger file - the "work horse" of my project - contains almost all of the functions that interact with the log files - all three of them.
5. loan file - contains the loan class and all its respective functions
6. customer file - contains the customer class and all its functions - also contains the writing to customer log function
7. book file - contains the book class and the functions, also has the writing to books file function
8. dates file - containing all functions regarding dates and datetime - taught me alot on how to use the module and interact with time in python
9. address file - contains a simple class and some functions to interact with an effective address field for the customer class

languages used: python

pycharm plugins used: Sourcery - advices to make the code clearer and more effective

modules used: datetime, json, pprint, fuzzywuzzy, python-Levenshtein (for optimizing fuzzywuzzy)

files format: JSON

important notes:

1. using inside your computer CMD panel, or pycharm Terminal (if set to default computer CMD terminal):

   PIP INTALL FUZZYWUZZY,

   PIP INSTALL Levenshtein - if it doesnt work try PIP INSTALL python-Levenstein

   or manually installing from pycharm install the package to be able to use the program

2. due to a problem with debugging of strptime in my pycharm, i used string iteration to handle dates and such - i know its not a real solution, but i have kept all my original datetime code for comparison

and thats it,

this project was definitely a challenge, taking alot of time, quite a lot of sweat, a little bit of tears and many long nights coding,

this project taught me alot and exposed me to new modules, functions, methods, quite abit of bugs but was overall a great learning opportunity.

hope everything works and comes out okay.
