Glossarist data extraction tools

Tools for converting data in Glossarist Desktop format to new registry format used by Paneron extension.

(NOTE: tested on IEV data, testing on TC 211 data is in progress.)

Setup

Create a virtual environment: python3 -m venv ./venv

Activate it: source ./venv/bin/activate

Then install requirements: pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Copy config.py.sample to config.py, then edit it:

input_dir - path to dir with data in old Glossarist Desktop format

output_dir - path to dir for new format (results)

default_date - date used by default for items without date

default_status - item status used by default for items without status

source_limit - convert less or equal files in old Glossarist Desktop format (None means convert all files)

Usage

Run python3 convert.py (don't forget about venv).
