Exchange of data files

The files in the table below are in a format that is understood by the Planner (C# or Django, see migration).

Writing responsibility

The responsibility to write these files can be:

• Loader (in module planner_interface.py exclusively)
• Django app loader (theater data dumper form)

Reading responsibility

The responsibility to read and process the data can be:

• C# planner project
• Django app loader (e.g. theater data loader form)

YML status

We're moving from XML toward YML. This has to do with the better readability of YML, but also with ease of use in Python/Django.

At this time, only the description from the film info is passed to Django, in csv format (sorry, the extension is .yml).

Work in progres!
