22. buildClassroom(): Build one classroom table line and page

This function builds the room page for a classroom. It also constructs that room's row in the classroom table on the start page.

hwscan3.py
# - - -   b u i l d C l a s s r o o m

def buildClassroom ( parent, room, reportInfo, clientSet ):
    '''Build one classroom table row and classroom page.

      [ (parent is an et.Element) and
        (room is a Room instance) and
        (reportInfo is a ReportInfo) and
        (clientSet is a ClientSet) ->
          parent  +:=  a row for that classroom, with
              workstation and instructor station counts from
              clientSet, and a link to a room page for that room
          room page for that room  :=  table of clients in
              that room, with configuration data from
              clientSet and devices from reportInfo ]    
    '''

Building the classroom table line is a bit complex because we have to count the workstations and instructor stations in that room. For that logic, see Section 23, “buildClassroomRow(): Build one line of the classroom table”.

hwscan3.py
    #-- 1 --
    # [ parent  +:=  a tr with the room name and a link to its
    #       room page, and count of workstations and instructor
    #       stations from clientSet ]
    buildClassroomRow ( parent, room, clientSet )

For the logic that builds the room page, see in Section 17, “buildRoomPage(): Make the page with a table of all the clients in a room”.

hwscan3.py
    #-- 2 --
    # [ room page for room  +:=  table of clients in room
    #       room.roomPrefix from clientSet, with roomType in
    #       the page title, with devices from reportInfo ]
    buildRoomPage ( room, reportInfo, clientSet )
