# Module: Subject Pulldown
22
# Pluggable subject pulldown module.
23
# Grabs a student's subject list from a source specified in conf.py.
25
# Each module should have a get_subjects(login) function, which takes login
26
# and returns a list of (subject, semester) pairs (both strings), or None
27
# if the user can't be found. May also raise a SubjectError which is fatal.

36
def get_subjects(login):
38
Looks up the student in whatever modules are available, using login.
39
If successful, returns a list of (subject, semester) pairs (both strings).
40
Raises a SubjectError if unsuccessful.

for modname, m in subj_modules:

if result is not None:

def enrol_user(login, year=None):
50
Looks up the student in whatever modules are available.
51
The pulldown does not tell us what year to enrol the student for, so the
52
year may be specified (as a string). If unspecified, will enrol in the
53
current year according to the system clock.
54
If successful, enrols the student (in the database) in all subjects in the
55
system. Subjects which the pulldown tells us the student is in, but which
56
are not in the system are ignored.
57
Does not unenrol the student from any subjects.
58
Does not complain if the student is already enrolled in any subjects.
59
Raises a SubjectError if the pulldown module says so.
61
Returns the number of subjects the user was enrolled in (not including
62
subjects outside the system, or subjects already enrolled).
