The biggest outstanding issue with the script right now is related to the way it determines if users have completed Weekly Training. The timestamps on the forums were giving me fits, so the way it's implemented is that it works backwards until it finds the most recent training post on Sunday and gives credit to all of the people that completed training since then. If no one did training on a Sunday, I have no idea what will happen.

Can you parse the forum dates?  If so, can you check something like

Code:

lastWeek =  datetime.now() - timedelta(days=7)
for each player:
    get most recent post
    if post.time < lastWeek:
        print that they didn't do it or whatever

(I don't actually know python)
That's obviously not perfect, but maybe a good starting heuristic?

Yeah, this is the way I originally started going about this! It works great for most posts, but here's what I run into. Old post timestamps look like this--

Code:

<span class="post_date"><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> Tuesday, July 21st, 2020, 10:18 am</span>

It's fairly straightforward to get the date/time value from the text of that field, but this is what "new" posts look like...

Code:

<span class="post_date"><i class="fa fa-clock-o"></i> <span title="Tuesday, January 19th, 2021, 09:06 am">5 minutes ago</span>

The same element now has a description of the date/time value, while the value itself is moved to the title tag. The same thing happens for posts that have been edited. Anyway, I do agree that this is the best way forward for the sake of accuracy if I can work around this issue. Thank you!
