spacedr

Spaced Repetition API

Enhance your learning speed with Spaced Repetition technique. It uses increasing intervals of time between card reviews.

But now you have API. Create cards, organise them into decks, study and actually review.

And there is no session object to pass it everywhere.

Installation

$ pip install spacedr

Usage

At first, you need to import the module:

>>> import spacedr

And initialise the database:

>>> spacedr.db_init()

Create a deck

>>> spacedr.create_deck(name='Test Deck', description='Just a test.')

Get a deck

You can get a deck id from a card (which you get using get_cards_to_review or get_cards_to_study functions):

>>> deck_id = card.deck_id

And then use this to get the deck object.

>>> deck = spacedr.get_deck_by_id(deck_id)

Create a card

>>> spacedr.create_card(deck,
...                     question='What is the meaning of life?',
...                     answers=[42, '42'])

Update a card

You have to update a card each time the user answers.

If answer is right, card's level will be increased, othervise decreased. And the card will be postponed accordingly.

>>> spacedr.update_card(card, answer='43')

Get cards to study

You will get a number of cards (limited by ``num``*)*, that haven't been practiced, in the given deck.

>>> spacedr.get_cards_to_study(deck, num=20)
[...]

Get cards to review

You will get a number of cards, that need to be reviewed, in the given deck.

>>> spacedr.get_cards_to_review(deck)
[...]

Edit a deck

You have to pass name and description as keyword arguments:

>>> spacedr.edit_deck(deck, name='test2', description='new one')

Edit a card

You have to pass deck_id (replace to an another deck), question and answers as keyword arguments:

>>> spacedr.edit_card(card, deck_id=deck_id, question='What is life?',
...                   answers=[42])

Delete a deck

The cards assigned to given deck will be deleted too:

>>> spacedr.delete_deck(deck)

Delete a card

>>> spacedr.delete_card(card)

Export a deck

Export the deck from a file descriptor:

>>> with open('mydeck.json', 'w') as file_d:
...     spacedr.export_deck(deck, file_d)

Import a deck

Import the deck from a file descriptor:

>>> with open('mydeck.json') as file_d:
...     spacedr.import_deck(deck, file_d)
