conference_schedule.py

# This program knows about the schedule for a conference that runs over the
# course of a day, with sessions in different tracks in different rooms.  Given
# a room and a time, it can tell you which session starts at that time.
#
# Usage:
#
# $ python conference_schedule.py [room] [time]
#
# For instance:
#
# $ python conference_schedule.py "Main Hall" 13:30
#

# TODO:
# * Implement the program as described in the comments at the top of the file.

# TODO (extra):
# * Change the program so that that it can tell you what session is running in
#   a room at a given time, even if a session doesn't start at that time.
# * Change the program so that if called with a single argument, the title of a
#   session, it displays the room and the time of the session.
