Just a little sketch of this; it’s very easy to whip something like this up in a few minutes with py-ptsl.

import csv
import sys, re

import ptsl
from ptsl import PTSL_pb2 as pt


def create_marker(client: ptsl.Client, time: str, notes: str):
 print("Time: {}\n\t{}".format(time, notes))

 result = client.run_command(pt.CId_CreateMemoryLocation, {
 'name': notes[0:32],
 'start_time': time,
 'end_time': time,
 'time_properties': 'TProperties_Marker',
 'reference': 'MLReference_Absolute',
 'comments': notes,
 'color_index': 7,
 'location': 'MarkerLocation_NamedRuler',
 'track_name': 'Robert Notes'
 })

 print(result)

def main():
 client = ptsl.Client(company_name="Squad 51",
 application_name='csv_import')
 for p in sys.argv[1:]:
 with open(p, "r") as f:
 table = csv.DictReader(f)
 for row in table:
 time = row['Record In']
 notes = row['Notes'].strip()
 if md := re.match(r'^Marker \d+ - (.*)$', notes):
 notes = md.group(1)

 create_marker(client, time, notes)

 client.close()


if __name__ == "__main__":
 main()

Ptsl on
