At the beginning of this month, we announced that we were shifting our focus to the web interface. Unfortunately, there have been a lot more issues with the TkInter user interface than we expected, and it is still not entirely functioning. Since this Tk interface will be the one actually used by the food pantry, and since there are only 2-3 weeks remaining in RCOS, we will be focusing entirely on the TkInter UI for the remainder of the summer session.
Not only will this allow us to turn out a working database, but also the quality of the interface will be better than if we tried to finish two interfaces at once. Since this database will probably be used by the food pantry for several years, this quality is especially vital.
Any work already done towards the web interface has been posted under a module called experiServe.py; this should create a very basic interface using html and the built-in Python server, and will accept input and print it to the screen (it has not been connected to the database at all yet).
