13-02-2020: thanks to Stephan Grunder soaringspot.com has restored direct downloads! the newest version of pysoar (>0.60) supports this.
23-01-2020: soaringspot.com has removed the direct downloads from the daily results page. Due to this change pysoar unfortunately no longer works for soaringspot URLs (it should for strepla)
PySoar automates the analysis of glider competitions. It starts with a Soaring Spot URL and delivers a spreadsheet as output.
A screenshot of the program:
An example analysis is provided for this competition day:
Stand alone versions for Windows, Mac and Linux are available under releases.
Apart from Excel/Open Office for viewing the spreadsheet, no extra software is needed.
The following limitations are (currently) in place:
- no restart after 1st turnpoint
- no penalties for missing turnpoints -> outlanding
- no multiple start points
For development, the following steps need to be taken:
- Install python requirements
pip install -r requirements.txt
This chapter explains how to create a pysoar executable
Note: it is important to use the system python3.7
- running inside virtualenv causes wxpython issues
- running python3.8 causes PyInstaller issues
- inside PySoar folder:
pip3.6 install -r requirements.txt PYGEODESY_PATH=$(python3.6 -c "import pygeodesy; print(pygeodesy.__path__[0])")pyinstaller --windowed --paths=$PYGEODESY_PATH main_pysoar.py
- inside PySoar folder:
pip install -r requirements.txt python3.6 -c "import pygeodesy; print(pygeodesy.__path__[0])"pyinstaller --windowed --onefile --paths=[INSERT_RESULT_PREVIOUS_LINE_HERE] main_pysoar.py
