Okay, thanks for the advice.
Yeah, well thats the time they gave me to do it in.
Unlucky I can't argue.
Well, I think whoever thought that that assignment was reasonable should get their ass kicked.
Doing it manually would take me well over a month since I have to do four different students and doing half a unit takes me give or take three hours.

Take the following template. Let's call it hello.tmpl:
Hello %(name)s, your score is %(random_number)d Now the following Python code:
import random
variables = dict(
name = "Fred",
random_number = random.randint(80, 100)
)
file = open("hello.tmpl", "r")
text = file.read() % variables
file.close()
file = open("output.txt", "w")
file.write(text)
file.close() When run, the Python code will create a new file called output.txt that will look something like this:
Hello Fred, your score is 87 Note that the score will be a random number between 80 and 100. Is that the sort of thing you were after, or have I gotten the wrong idea? |
You have it head on.
Thats exactly what I need, I'll see if I can't upload the "example page" its how my teacher wants it to look.
It should probably clear up any confusion I might have caused, I don't know if I might have written it so that you're like "what?".
Edit:
Okay, I added an attachment with the example file my teacher gave me.
The only difference is that I had to save it as a txt so I could add it as an attachment.
If you want to see how it should look just rename it to .html
