msm's Introduction

msm - Magazine Subscription Manager

A simple yet powerful tool to manage magazine subscribers, written in Python 3 and using GObject Introspection (Gtk+ 3).

How to install

Prerequisites

MSM currently needs a couple of dependencies:

We currently also need python-pytz at the moment, but we'll replace it with python-babel soon (we only need pytz for getting country names by ISO 3661-1alpha2 codes).

On windows, you'll also need pywin32.

Installation

Clone the git repository:

git clone https://github.com/Holzhaus/msm.git

Now you can run msm.pyw:

cd msm
chmod +x msm.pyw
./msm.pyw

First Steps

On first start, MSM will create a config directory and the database by itself.

Now you should edit the Magazines. Open the application menu of MSM and click on Preferences. In the tab Magazines you can add a new magazine and then add possible subscription types to it. If you're done, click Apply.

You can now start adding customers.

msm's Issues

Add country to AddressEditor

Country is currently not editable. This needs to be changed.

Avoid data duplication in CustomerTable

Up to now, the CustomerTable inserts multiple columns containing simple data types like str or int into the underlying liststore. This can lead to data being out of sync and also makes it harder to add support for customizable TreeViewColumn (which might happen in a later release).

Instead, every row in the liststore should only have on column (of type PyObject). This will contain the core.database.Customer object. Its attributes will be access via cell_data_funcs.

I sincerely hope this doesn't degrade performance too much.

InvoicingTable is not sortable

InvoicingTable is not sortable (e.g. by clicking column heads). This is caused by the PyObject-only liststore.

Add option for empty honourific to CustomerEditor

Companies do not have a honourific.

split up letter generation and pdf rendering

Add Company1 to CustomerTable

customer.company1 should be displayed in CustomerTable.

Fix rounding error (Invoice generation)

There seem to be rounding errors, probably due to a regression that came with commit 2e299fe. This must be fixed.

Investigate function of InvoicingAssistant

Recheck if InvoicingAssistant is really working properly. It's extremely important that the invoices are not based on miscalculations.

Also, the insertion of BookkeepingEntries needs to be improved.

Proper data loading for CustomerTable

Adding a huge bunch of rows to the treemodel should be a lot faster if the Gtk.TreeModel is completely disconnected from the Gtk.TreeView and filtering/sorting is disabled. Also, The CustomerWindow should be insensitive during loading and some loading indicator might be displayed (probably a Gtk.Spinner)

Add country to CustomerTable

Country should be displayed in CustomerTable.

Rename Invoice.due_date to Invoice.maturity_date

Rename core.database.Invoice.due_date to core.database.Invoice.maturity_date.

Investigate function of LetterExportAssistant

Currently, if LetterExportAssistant throws an Error during PDF generation (namely a LatexError), the corresponding letter is skipped silently. This shouldn't happen. Make the Errors fatal and check if they occur.
