Workout Of (the) Day (WOD)

Write a Python program called wod.py that will create a Workout Of (the) Day (WOD) from a list of exercises provided in CSV format (default wod.csv). Accept a -n|--num_exercises argument (default 4) to determine the sample size from your exercise list. Also accept a -e|--easy flag to indicate that the reps should be cut in half. Finally accept a -s|--seed argument to pass to random.seed for testing purposes. You should use the tabulate module to format the output as expected.

The input file should be comma-separated values with headers for "exercise" and "reps," e.g.:

$ tablify.py wod.csv
+---------------+--------+
| exercise      | reps   |
|---------------+--------|
| Burpees       | 20-50  |
| Situps        | 40-100 |
| Pushups       | 25-75  |
| Squats        | 20-50  |
| Pullups       | 10-30  |
| HSPU          | 5-20   |
| Lunges        | 20-40  |
| Plank         | 30-60  |
| Jumprope      | 50-100 |
| Jumping Jacks | 25-75  |
| Crunches      | 20-30  |
| Dips          | 10-30  |
+---------------+--------+

You should use the range of reps to choose a random integer value in that range.

$ ./wod.py -h
usage: wod.py [-h] [-f str] [-s int] [-n int] [-e]

Create Workout Of (the) Day (WOD)

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f str, --file str    CSV input file of exercises (default: wod.csv)
  -s int, --seed int    Random seed (default: None)
  -n int, --num_exercises int
                        Number of exercises (default: 4)
  -e, --easy            Make it easy (default: False)
$ ./wod.py

Hints:

  • Use the csv module's DictReader to read the input CSV files
  • Break the reps field on the - character, coerce the low/high values to int values, and then use the random module to choose a random integer in that range. Also see if the random module can help you sample some exercises.
  • Read the docs on the tabulate module to figure out to get it to print your data
