Hi I am a doctor.I want to prepare quiz with this script (added to comment)

But I don't have python knowledge. Can you tell me how to parse TPC.quiz file into a json file using quiz_questions.py?
Thanks

The readme suggests python quiz_questions.py unicorns.quiz (which you'd use your own file instead of unicorns). Have you tried it? Did you have any issues? (If so, be very detailed; e.g. if there's a stacktrace, definitely include it).

Hi sir. I created my quiz file(example.quiz) So what is the next? I opened quiz_questions.py file Python 3.6.2 shell and don't know what is the next step. May I import example.quiz to quiz_questions.py file? If answer is yes so how will i do it?
Thank you very much

Well, open a terminal in the directory with the quiz_questions. py in it and type this:

python3 quiz_questions.py /path/your_quiz_file.quiz

path is the full path to the quiz file

I can't get it. Why the script is in the output or is this an output at all? Did you put what I said on top of the script. If that is the case you have to remove this line from the script.

What you have to do is to open the Windows file manager and navigate to the folder with the script in it. Hold SHIFT and right click on that folder. Chose 'Open command window here'. In that window type the command from my previous post. I am not using Windows and don't know if the options in the context menu are called like that.

Open the script with Notepad and change line 42 to looks like this:

quiz_text = quiz_file.read().decode('utf-8')

So all that part have to looks like:

def toJson(filename):
    with open(filename, 'r') as quiz_file:
        quiz_text = quiz_file.read().decode('utf-8')

Better to set encoding when open file.

with open(filename, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as quiz_file:
    quiz_text = quiz_file.read()

Also when write line 88:

with open(filename.split('.')[0] + ".json", 'w', encoding='utf-8') as outfile:

I did a test run with Flask,work fine this quiz maker.
