tally-methods provides functions for tallying election questions.
The entry point for tally processing is either
- do_dirtally(dir_path)
Tallies election data found in the given directory
- do_tartally(tally_path)
Tallies election data found in the given tar.gz file.
Both the tar and directory functions expect the same file structure for election data:
<root>
|
|- questions_json (file describing the election questions)
|
|--- 0-xxxxx (directory with data for the 0th question)
| |
| |
| -- plaintexts_json (file containing votes, one per line)
...
|
|--- n-xxxxx (directory with data for the nth question)
|
|
-- plaintexts_json (file containing votes, one per line)

Then run the tests with
python -m unittest discover
