PySoar

PySoar automates the analysis of glider competitions. It starts with a Soaring Spot URL and delivers a spreadsheet as output.

Stand alone versions

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.

Limitations

The following limitations are (currently) in place:

  • no restart after 1st turnpoint
  • no penalties for missing turnpoints -> outlanding
  • no multiple start points

Building an executable

Executables are built using github actions. See .github/workflows/main.yml for the steps taken

Publishing a new version

  • everything merged in main
  • add version number in CHANGES.md and change version number in settingsClass.py
  • commit on main and push tag
  • download zips from pipeline and create release from the tag
