You may also choose to use pipenv, if you have it installed. It
allows for better isolation of Python projects.
# To use `pipenv` and an isolated project environment via `pipenv run`:
$ pipenv install git https://github.com/civictechto/anki-meetup-memorizer#egg=anki-meetup-memorizer
$ pipenv run anki-meetup-memorizer --help
# You can set config via a dot-env file
$ cp sample.env .env
# To generate an APKG import file
$ pipenv run anki-meetup-memorizer <meetup-event-url>
Your generated APKG file will now be in the outputs/ directory.
To run the script and generate a new APKG file for importing:
cd path/to/anki-meetup-memorizer
# Install dependencies
git submodule update --init
pipenv install
- Each meetup event gets it's own card deck.
- We include attendees who RSVP'd both Yes and No, as both forms of action are indicative of an active community member.
- Members without photos are obviously not included in the deck.
