Hello I Posted Another Question But Since I Have To Do Another Thing

Hello., I posted another question but since I have to do another thing into the program I'm writing a new updated question. So I need to write a program : First the program must read a text file (The user must be able to write the name of the text file) , the text file contains the following: a title, an companyname, an teacher name, the duration of the project, key words, and the expenses the company is going to spend. Text file example: Title: Projeto Company: UMA Teacher: Joaquim Duration: 5 months Keywords: #best_project_ever Expenses: Equipment:$300 Food: $50 Consumable expenses: $100 Consulting expenses: $40 Travel: $150 Extras: $500 Then after reading the text file, ( the file must show into the console, so the evaluator can see it) I have to do the following: 3 evaluators will evaluate 4 parameters ( just name them parameter1, parameter2 ...) the program must ask the evaluators to input those parameters but as letters (N=1,M=2,S=3,B=4,E=5) then I have to do the average for each evaluator and then the average for all of the 3 evaluators. Now I have to convert the 3 evaluators average in percentage( 1 to 2 =25%,2 to 3 =50%, 3 to 4=75% and 4 to 5=100%) Finally I have to write these percentages in a new file, following the things that were written in the initial text file. Obs: I have to due this in 9 hours, so I will pick a teacher who can do the program in 8 hours or less.

Paper For Above instruction

This programming task involves creating a comprehensive Python application that reads project details from a user-specified text file, displays its content, then gathers evaluation scores from multiple evaluators, and finally outputs the evaluation results in a new file. The key stages include file input/output, data parsing, user interaction, data processing, and output formatting, requiring careful consideration of data structures and control flow to ensure accuracy and usability.

Initially, the program prompts the user to input the filename of the text file containing project details. It then opens and reads the file contents, parsing key-value pairs such as title, company, teacher, duration, keywords, and expenses (including categories like equipment, food, consumables, consulting, travel, and extras). The parsing should handle variations in line format and extract data correctly. After reading, the program displays the entire content to the console for inspector verification, ensuring transparency in the data being processed.

Subsequently, the program solicits evaluation scores from three evaluators for four unspecified parameters. Each evaluator inputs their scores as single letters ("N"=1, "M"=2, "S"=3, "B"=4, "E"=5). These letter inputs are converted into numeric scores, then averaged per evaluator. An overall average across all evaluators is computed, providing a comprehensive assessment metric. This process demands robust input validation to prevent errors, ensuring each input is valid and correspondingly acts on acceptable data.

The program then converts the three evaluators' average scores into percentage values following a predefined mapping: 1-2 equates to 25%, 2-3 to 50%, 3-4 to 75%, and 4-5 to 100%. These percentages are formatted and stored to a new output file, which also maintains the initial project details for context. The output file should be clearly structured, delineating the original project data and the evaluation results, providing a complete record of the process. Proper handling of file output and data formatting ensures clarity and professionalism in the final report.

Given the deadline of 9 hours, efficient coding and testing are essential, ideally completed within 8 hours for review or adjustments. This project is suitable for an instructor or developer familiar with Python's file handling, string parsing, user input validation, and basic data processing, ensuring timely delivery and correct functionality.
