Collaboration: For Assignment 2, collaboration is not allowed; you must work individually. You may still see your TA and come to office hours for help, but you may not work with any other CMSC 210 students. You may post questions on Slack, but you may not post code.

Objectives:

To practice submitting assignments through Github classroom
To practice basic object oriented programming
To learn how to join sets of data together
To become familiar with CMSC 210 Python coding standards

Instructions

Comments & Coding Standards

Include a complete file header comment at the top of your file.
Include a complete function header comment at the top of each function, just below the function header.
Make sure to follow the CMSC 210 Coding Standards.

The Task

A TA from ages now long-past has harvested information about songs and albums from the artist deadmau5, who appears to be some sort of folk-singer. The course staff and UMBC in no way endorse the artist deadmau5 or his views or opinions. The course staff in no way endorses the death of mice. The goal of your project is to write a command line tool, grittify, which will answer queries about songs of deadmau5.

The Data

You will be provided with the following csv files:

deadmau5_albums.csv: each row of the file is an album by deadmau5
deadmau5_tracks.csv: each row of the file is a song by deadmau5

Pre-defined Python Library Usage

You may import anything. At all. May the force of all of Python be with you.

We recommend that you use:

csv: This library lets you read in csv files with ease.
datetime: This library makes date math way way easier.
argparse: Parser for command-line arguments

Command line Functionality

You are writing the command grittify which takes a command and then parameter(s). The acceptable commands are:

grittify album [album-name]

Prints all of the songs on the album with [album-name]

grittify albums

Prints all of the albums (but not their songs)

grittify song [song-name]

Prints the data for song with [song-name] This is optional, I didn't provide code

grittify songs

Prints all of the data for all of the songs, including the data for the album they are on

grittify songs after [date]

Prints all songs that occur after a particular date, which will be written in MM-DD-YYYY format. Album data will be included.

grittify songs before [date]

Prints all songs that occur before a particular date, which will be written in MM-DD-YYYY format. Album data will be included.

Sample Output

The sample output is available as a separate file in your project template.

Additional requirements

You MUST NOT modify any of the supplied code, except for the contents of get_all_albums()

Your output should be as close as possible to the sample outputs, though you can have a different order. This includes printing dates as they are in the sample output.

Submitting Your Assignment

We will cover the use of github in class and provide walkthroughs for submitting assignments.
