Session Goal

The goal of this session was to enhance task scheduling by implementing dynamic time constraints using Python, with a focus on ensuring tasks like β€˜Gym’ adhere to specific time slots.

Key Activities

  • Introduced a β€˜timing’ column in the constraints CSV to allow precise start and end constraints for tasks.
  • Developed Python code to dynamically apply these constraints based on specified timings.
  • Analyzed and resolved an issue where the β€˜Gym’ task was not adhering to the constraint of starting after 7 PM.
  • Implemented solutions for dynamically adjusting time constraints based on the day of the week.
  • Ensured accurate constraint application across multiple days by dynamically calculating the day for task instances.

Achievements

  • Successfully updated the CSV format and Python code to handle dynamic time constraints.
  • Ensured the β€˜Gym’ task starts at the correct time each day by calculating day-based slot offsets.
  • Improved the scheduling model to accurately apply constraints across different days.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the dynamic scheduling system to ensure robustness across various task types and constraints.
