Develop a Hospital Management System (HMS) using a Command Line Interface (CLI) that addresses the operational needs of a hospital. The system should cover various aspects, including patient management, appointment scheduling, and medical staff coordination.
-
CLI Application:
- Create a CLI application that allows users (hospital staff) to interact with the system efficiently.
- Implement features for managing patients, appointments, and medical staff.
-
Database:
- Utilize SQLAlchemy ORM to create and modify a database.
- Implement at least three related tables in the database.
-
Virtual Environment:
- Maintain a well-organized virtual environment using Pipenv.
-
Package Structure:
- Establish a proper package structure in your application.
-
Data Structures:
- Demonstrate the use of lists, dicts, and tuples in your application.
-
Algorithm Implementation:
- Implement an algorithm from the Data Structures and Algorithms Canvas module accurately and appropriately.
-
Clone the repository to your local machine:
git clone https://github.com/Python3-Git-Lab/python-project-end-phase.git
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd python-project-end-phase -
Set up a virtual environment using Pipenv:
pipenv install
-
Activate the virtual environment:
pipenv shell
-
Install dependencies:
pipenv install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the CLI application:
python main.py
-
Database Schema:
- Plan your database schema before starting; migrations can be challenging.
-
Module Organization:
- Keep your Python objects, SQLAlchemy objects, and CLI script in separate modules.
-
Problem Solving:
- If you encounter difficulties with a specific task, check online for Python libraries that can simplify the process.
-
CLI Frameworks:
- Consider using Click or Fire to handle basic CLI tasks more efficiently.
