LIS

A very simple and lightweight Laboratory Information System, written in Python

---

I know this could be done with a lot of other modules, less coding, better functions, etc. but it was a uni project for elementary programming, so I couldn't do a lot of stuff outside of what they taught us (it already has a lot of stuff they never taught us)

So I made this, and tried to make it as perfect as possible. Can be better, so feel free to change it as much as you like :D

First-time use

The program will ask for a name, an email (used for sending emails) and then a password. You can use an app password

How to get an app password

Go to myaccount.google.com, login into the email you entered for LIS program, and choose "Security". Enable 2-step verification from there if you already haven't turned it on. The on the main page, in "Security" tab again, under "How you sign in to Google" choose 2-Step Verification (not 2-Step Verification phones), then scroll all the way down to find "App passwords". In the new page, choose "select app", then choose "other (custom name)". Enter a name for you passwrod, and click "Generate". Done! You can now use this for this LIS program so it will be able to send emails with the entered email.

Known issues

This code will have problems with system path when you run in inside VS Code or any other coding application/IDE. It must be running using a terminal

To-do

1. Probably use "num_ask()" for all inputs
2. Change database from txt to json or something better
3. Data encryption
4. GUI

Credits

1. ThePycoach for their email sending code. Used it as a function in this program. The code can be found in here

2. My friend Light7734, for giving me advice on coding, teaching me stuff, and reviewing my code. (Still didn't do as he told me on changing this code, lol)
