Python Seat Reservation System with PySide2 GUI and Command-Line Tools

Overview of a seat reservation system implemented in Python, featuring a PySide2 graphical interface that displays tables and chairs, and allows users to select seats.

Required Python packages: PySide2, datetime, json, argparse.

Seat layout is defined in seatInf.json , specifying table positions, sizes, types, chair positions, and styles.

Application data for orders and occupied seats are stored in orderList.json and occupied.json .

Command‑line utilities:

Python slotCard_in.py -i="student_id" – check‑in a booked seat.

Python slotCard_out.py -i="student_id" – mark temporary leave.

Python cmd_order.py -i="student_id" -n="name" -s="seat_id" – create a reservation.

Python cmd_leave.py -i="student_id" -t="temp" or -t="free" – request temporary leave or release the seat.

Sample outputs show available seats, booking success messages, error handling for occupied or invalid seats, and instructions for leaving.

The main GUI code ( orderSystem.py ) sets up window size, fonts, style sheets, loads JSON data, draws the seat map, handles seat selection callbacks, and processes booking actions.

A secondary display module ( orderDataDisplay.py ) shows booking confirmation with student information, time, and seat ID, and provides buttons for temporary leave or final exit.
