function main_v57
Main execution function that orchestrates a document comparison workflow between two directories (mailsearch/output and wuxi2 repository), scanning for coded documents, comparing them, and generating results.

412 - 440
moderate
Purpose
This function serves as the entry point for a document comparison tool. It coordinates the entire workflow: scanning the output folder for documents, scanning the wuxi2 repository, comparing documents between the two locations, saving comparison results to files, and printing a summary. It's designed to identify differences, matches, or discrepancies between document sets in different locations.
Source Code
def main():
"""Main execution function"""
print(f"\n{'='*80}")
print("Document Comparison Tool")
print("Comparing mailsearch/output with wuxi2 repository")
print(f"{'='*80}")
# Scan output folder
output_docs = scan_output_folder(OUTPUT_FOLDER)
if not output_docs:
print("\nā No coded documents found in output folder!")
return
# Scan wuxi2 repository
wuxi2_docs = scan_wuxi2_folder(WUXI2_FOLDER)
# Compare documents
results = compare_documents(output_docs, wuxi2_docs)
# Save results
save_results(results, RESULTS_FILE, DETAILED_JSON)
# Print summary
print_summary(results)
print(f"{'='*80}")
print("Comparison complete!")
print(f"{'='*80}\n")
Return Value
Returns None (implicit). The function performs side effects including printing to console, writing results to files (RESULTS_FILE and DETAILED_JSON), and potentially creating output directories.

Usage Example
# Define required constants and helper functions first
OUTPUT_FOLDER = './mailsearch/output'
WUXI2_FOLDER = './wuxi2'
RESULTS_FILE = './comparison_results.csv'
DETAILED_JSON = './comparison_results.json'
# Define required helper functions (scan_output_folder, scan_wuxi2_folder, etc.)
# ... (implementation of helper functions)
# Execute the main function
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Best Practices
- Ensure all required constants (OUTPUT_FOLDER, WUXI2_FOLDER, RESULTS_FILE, DETAILED_JSON) are properly defined before calling this function
- Verify that all helper functions (scan_output_folder, scan_wuxi2_folder, compare_documents, save_results, print_summary) are implemented and available
- Ensure the directories specified in OUTPUT_FOLDER and WUXI2_FOLDER exist and are accessible
- Verify write permissions for the output file paths (RESULTS_FILE and DETAILED_JSON)
- The function exits early if no coded documents are found in the output folder, so ensure the output folder contains expected documents
- Consider wrapping the main() call in a try-except block to handle potential file system errors or missing dependencies
- This function is designed to be called as the entry point, typically within an if __name__ == '__main__': block
