XAirport tool in Python

[blumenmann]

Udo Thiel had a great idea and made the great program XAirport:

I think this tool is so usefull that everyone should have something like that. But XAirport is programed with XCode and is just availiable for Apple devices. So I started to make something similar with python an TKinter.

The tool can be downloaded from my blog:

This is just a first beta Version, but it should run with every 2.X Python version. But for the other planed features I need help from some python developers.

Following features are planed in future:

• provide an .exe version for Windows users
  
• automatic update of the navigation data
  
• a version which runs as a x-plane plugin
  

For colaboration I started a github project:

So if you have a lot of experience with python and want to help me. Feel free to contact me.

Hi Andreas,

Looks like a very helpful tool. Could you please provide installation instructions in English as the read-me in the zip file is in German.

thanks

Oh sorry.

Just added a short installation message to the gihub wiki: https://github.com/lyckade/XP_Airports/wiki/Installation

But there is no real installation of the script needed. Make sure that you have python (http://www.python.org/) installed on your computer. If you are using a Mac or Linux there should be python. If you have no python installation on your computer download the newest 2.7 version and install it on your system.

Run the main.py file with python. Thats it.
