If we find the time (we meaning Peter) we can upload it to CD though I am not sure how difficult it would be to remove the hooks to our database.

The Python sign in system is available on GitHub: https://github.com/team294/signinapp. It runs on both Windows and Linux as a PyQt application. Currently it's written to use Python 3 but I'll probably update it soon so it can run on either 2 or 3.

As Ken mentioned, it is currently written to tie into our Django-based team database system (also on GitHub; https://github.com/team294/roster) to pull user information and photos and push timecard records. However, all of the database access code in the sign in application is localized to rosteraccess.py, so it should be fairly easy to adapt it to a different backend (e.g. reading/writing to CSV files).
