Job Description

Due to some unfinished developing work by the last feelancer, we are looking for somebody who finishes our existing python app for a custom automation process:

The current app can be provided as a GITHUB Rep.f

A current copy of the code is attached as a ZIP to take a look

Here is what the app does:

Sync of two folders from ftp or sftp (both options) from a server to a specific folder. The option needs to be a single way sync or a two way sync

That is one part, the other part is the following:

The client orders a specific video over a json, after effects renders it and we will delivery link with the download.

One folder has .json files, it will replace the content to another json file on a specific location with the new one, waits until the status is set to done and repeat the process with any new json files that come in.

The programm needs to store a reference of the email to send the link to and the file name that will be generated, which ja all written in the json files.

Once one order is completed, the corresponding original json is deleted.

After effects is already setup to render the correct filename

Once the file is completed, the app takes over again and uploads the file with ftp or sfpt to a server and sends a email to the customer.

Here we need the option to specifiy the messages by the client.

And once all done, the app does maintenance and deleted files that are older to keep the mac and the server clean.

Here is what is missing:

The app as to be installable without any code. Either by just copy the compiled file into a specific location or an installer, this is what is the main part.

The app should close After Effects after each render and currently this does not work well. It fails closing and then the app stops and produces and error, the part where aftereffects gets closed as to be reworked.

Any repository have to be updated to run with OSX 26.3 and has only components that are up do date and still supported Some components are end of life and have to be replaced.

The plan is to have it all completed by end of February for first testing, and then production release by March 10th the latest.

So if you are a Python Export for OSX, please apply to this job. The rep can be provided, due to the fact that is is a live system, it has to be handled with care and cannot just be uploaded prior screening your knowledge of OSX and Python.

Contract duration of less than 1 month.

Mandatory skills:

Python, Desktop Application, Automation
