A Python migration script for Uamuzi Bora from our CakePHP app to OpenMRS 1.9.0.

When switching platforms from our in-house developed EMR to OpenMRS, we needed to migrate our existing database containing ~7,100 patients with ~300,000 observations to OpenMRS' schema.

fly_south is a rudimentary Python script that imports all patients and selected observations from our existing PostgreSQL database into our new schema in OpenMRS.

It uses Gunnar's excellent db.py, a Python database abstraction module for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

Due to the niche use-case of this script, it's unlikely to be of much use elsewhere in its present form, but if you're trying to import data from an existing EMR into OpenMRS, it may illustrate one approach to a solution.

• tl;dr: Use at your own risk!

• This is some rather ugly code; it was written in a hurry to meet a deadline.
