source: main/waeup.kofa/trunk/src/waeup/kofa/utils/utils.py @ 7938

Last change on this file since 7938 was 7917, checked in by uli, 13 years ago

Simplify the design of EXAM_GRADES (former EXAM_GRADES_DICT). Grades
are now sorted automatically by their position in the tuple. CAREFUL!
This means that most probably changes in custom packages are
neccessary!
