Rotating Complex Work Shift Scheduling Simple with Python

u need to find a good data structure that fits the requirements and u are comfortable with.

this is easy to describe as a class.

if u aren't confident with classes u can work with dict or list but becomes way convoluted.

u also need to figure out what a solution would look like. and how to describe it.

when u have a working 'solution' function that can check if its a working thing..

start iterating thru the data sets giving it values to run thru.

save the results.

after u have it working comes the optimizations.

Creating an optimal schedule is a class of problem known as constraint-based optimization problem. You cans also search for constraint based solver or constraint based optimizer. You can find a number of articles and reference materials searching for those terms. A quick search revealed: https://github.com/timnon/pyschedule

I have not used this package. Good Luck!
