codePost snippet to programmatically reassign students/partnerships on already-uploaded submissions

codePost-fix-partners.py

# variable parameters
# get the API key here: https://codepost.io/settings

# mapping a codePost ID to students
# (note that this could be loaded from a CSV file)

# authenticate
codepost.configure_api_key(API_KEY)

for submission_id, students in partnerships.items():

    # NOTE: currently, because we are assigning an object to
    # the property "students", we need to cast it to the same
    # dynamic list data type as the list we are replacing (this
    # is a bug of the SDK that will be fixed in an upcoming
    # version)
