Arctic Shores - Technical Task

Requirements

The task has been completed using Python 3.8 and Django 2.2.9.

##Overview

Django has been used to create a candidate class and a Score Class.

The import and sort scripts have been written in pure Python.

##Assumptions

• Pyhon 3.8 is installed on the machine and available from the CLI as python38
• Virtualenvwrapper is installed

##Instructions

1. create a folder and clone the repo into it

   mkdir arctic-shores
   cd arctic-shores
   git clone git@github.com:mkjmckinlay/arctic-shores.git . 

2. Create a Virtual Enviroment and then activate it

   mkvirtualenv -p /usr/bin/python38 venv
   . venv/bin/activate

3. install the requirements

   pip install requirements.txt

4. create the database and admin user

   python manage.py migrate
   python manage.py createsuperuser

5. Start the Django Webserver

   python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

Running the importer script

the script assumes that the csv is in the files folder and is called candidates.csv

   python importer.py

The code displays a message advising if a result has been added, If the Candidate reference is invalid(In this case Candiate is not created) and if the score is outside of the range (0.0-100.0)

Running the Sorted Script

    python sorter.py

The script imports the json file and sorted the results by score before outputting to a csv file called sorted.csv(this is created in the files folder)
