📂 Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance a Python script for processing Jupyter Notebook files and implement a bin-packing algorithm for distributing consigna files.

Key Activities

  • Enhanced the file filtering capabilities of a Jupyter Notebook processing script by excluding checkpoint directories and handling Unicode errors.
  • Developed a bin-packing algorithm using the First-Fit Decreasing (FFD) approach to distribute consignas efficiently without splitting them.
  • Modified the bin-packing algorithm to balance the size and number of consignas in each chunk.
  • Implemented a Python script to automate the retrieval and distribution of consigna notebooks into balanced chunks based on specified constraints.

Achievements

  • Successfully enhanced the file filtering process to improve error handling and file management.
  • Completed the implementation of a bin-packing algorithm to optimize consigna distribution.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing and validation of the bin-packing algorithm under different scenarios.
  • Documentation of the enhanced script and algorithm for future reference.
