Documentation

This is Best explained by example:

Person

A Person object

   Person(self, 
   name, *, 
   birthday=None, 
   birthplace='nyc', 
    sun=None, moon=None, mercury=None, venus=None, mars=None, 
    def_love=None, 
   ideal_lover=None, 
    lovers=[])

Each datry entry (row) will give information on a person and their prior lovers/relationships. For instance if Micheal completes the survey form and he provides data on his past relationships with Gracen and Valerie...

Then Micheal is a Person object. Gracen and Valerie are Lover objects.

Creating a Person (Instantiating)

A Person object must be instantiated with the name and either the person's birthday or all of the (sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars) parameters such as

from chart import * 
from Person import Person 
from Lover import Lover 
from Relation import Relation 

micheal = Person('Micheal', birthday='1999/07/21')
micheal = Person('Micheal', sun='Cancer', moon='Scorpio', mercury='Leo', venus='Virgo', mars='Scorpio')

Note

The birthday parameter can accept: a string with 'YYYY/MM/DD' format or a Datetime object that represents the date. See Datetime documentation (Google) ex: date = Datetime('1999/07/21'). May be (or may not be) easier to deal with Datetime module since you'll be reading it from a spreadsheet and I know sometimes they have a weird way of formatting dates

The only time you would do this this way is if a Person (or a Lover) does not have its birthday available but has the birthchart. There will be a column in each row that has an entry for either the birthday or the full birth chart so there won't be any issues there

The attributes of a Person are mutable and can be changed by reference

micheal.birthplace = "nyc" #Redundant parameter for now. Only going to be useful in the feature. The constructor will set the default value here anyway
so don't worry about this.

micheal.def_love = ['unconditional', 'genuine', 'forever'] #A list of adjectives Micheal (A 'Person') used to describe love 

micheal.ideal_lover = ['sensitive', 'beautiful', 'fierce'] #A list of adjectives  the person used to describe their ideal lover

You can also read and write to the following properties; however, these properties are automatically set IF you include the birthday parameter in the constructor.

You will only need to write to these if you do not have the person's birthday but you have this information. Which is possible, because some data entries have columns for the birth chart but not the birthday

 micheal.moon = 'Scorpio'
 micheal.sun = 'Cancer'
 micheal.mercury = 'Leo'
 micheal.mars = 'Scorpio'
 micheal.venus = 'Virgo'

Lover

Finally, a Lover is a past romantic encounter of a Person (Micheal).

A person can have many Lovers. So the .lovers attribute is an array of lovers but this is READ-ONLY

A Lover inherits from the Person class

 gracen = Lover('Gracen', '12/08/1998')
 valerie = Lover('Valerie', sun='Aries', moon='Aquarius', mercury='Gemini', venus='Gemini', mars ='Aries')

Adding a Lover to a Person

You can add Gracen and Valerie as lovers to Micheal with the .add_Lover() function

 micheal.add_lover(gracen)
 micheal.add_lover(valerie)

Now the .lovers attribute will return an array with 2 objects, gracen and valerie.

Lover Attributes (Read and Write)

Examples:

 gracen.duration = 1 # Months the relationship between Gracen and gracen.person (Micheal) lasted 
 gracen.isCurrent = False #boolean of whether or not this is a current partner ornot
 gracen.attractiveness = 10 #gracen.partner's (Micheal's) attractiveness rating of gracen. Similarly as follows for chemistry, sex, and love
 gracen.chemistry = 9
 gracen.sex = 8 
 gracen.love = 6
 gracen.harmony = 9 
 gracen.relationship_type = 'FLING' #String, has to be one of the values in the RELATIONSHIP_TYPES list constant 
 gracen.person # Read only . This will automatically be assigned when you call micheal.add_lover(gracen)

Relation

Finally we have a Relation object.

A relation is an object associated with a single relationship between a person and a lover

Instantiate it with a Person and Lover object

 couple1 = Relation(micheal, gracen)
 couple2 = Relation(micheal, valerie)

A Relation object has READ-ONLY properties that will contain all relationship information such as

 couple1.partner # --> micheal object returned 
 couple1.lover # -> gracen object returned
 couple1.duration # -> returns 1 (in this specific example) returns the duration of relationship in months
 couple1.attractiveness, couple1.chemistry, ... , couple1.harmony 
 couple1.def_love
 couple1.sun_aspect # 'Quincunx' -> Returns one of the ASPECTS constants 

Full Example

Suppose we have a data entry row as follows. Note that a Person can have many Lovers and these Lovers

You will read in the data, create a Person, assign the attributes to the Person (Gender, ideal lover, definition of love, etc) create the Lovers assign the Lovers to the Person create a Relation for each Person and Lover

from chart import * 
from Person import Person 
from Lover import Lover
from Relation import Relation

# Creating a Person 

micheal = Person('Micheal Bingham', birthday='1999/07/21') 
micheal.gender = 'M' 
micheal.def_love = [forever, sacrifice, caring, empathy, attachment, unconditional, understanding, consuming, addicting]
micheal.ideal_lover = [sensitive, beautiful, kind, loving, empathetic, nurturing, fierce, brave, extroverted, social, seductive, passionate, deep, intuitive, romantic, committed, devoted]

#Creating a Lover
luisa = Lover('Luisa', birthday='2000/08/21') 
luisa.isCurrent = False 
luisa.duration = 4 
luisa.attractiveness = 5
luisa.chemistry = 6
luisa.sex = 7
luisa.love = 5
luisa.harmony = 3
luisa.gender = 'F'
luisa.relationship_type = 'FLING' 

# Adding Lover to a Person 
micheal.add_lover(luisa) 

#Creating another Lover 
gracen = Lover('Gracen', sun='Sagittarius', moon='Taurus', mercury='Capricorn', venus='Capricorn', mars='Capricorn') # Her birthday wasn't given to (column was blank) So we had to instantiate the Lover object with her birth chart (moon,mercury, etc..) 
gracen.isCurrent = False 

#... rest of the attributes ... (duration, attractiveness, chemistry, etc..)

# Adding Gracen as also a lover to Micheal 
micheal.add_lover(gracen)

Important Constants

Use the following string values for the relationship_type attribute. RELATIONSHIP_TYPES = ['BOF', 'FWB', 'FLING', 'P', 'S']

BOF: better off friends, FWB: Friends with benefits, FLING: Fling, P: Partner, S: Soulmate

Gender is male (M) or female (F) or other (O).

GENDER = ['M', 'F', 'O']

Zodiac signs and aspects are case sensitive so type exactly

SIGNS = ['Aries', 'Taurus', 'Gemini', 'Cancer', 'Leo', 'Virgo', 'Libra', 'Scorpio', 'Sagittarius', 'Capricorn', 'Aquarius', 'Pisces']
ASPECTS = ['Square', 'Conjunct', 'Semisextile', 'Sextile', 'Trine', 'Quincunx', 'Opposition']
