PyQSO
PyQSO is a contact logging tool for amateur radio operators.
Installation and running
Assuming that the current working directory is PyQSO's base directory (the directory that the Makefile
is in), PyQSO can be run without installation by issuing the following command in the terminal:
python3 bin/pyqso
If the pip3
package manager is available on your system then PyQSO can be installed system-wide using:
sudo make install
Once installed, the following command will run PyQSO:
pyqso
Documentation
The PyQSO documentation is stored in the docs
directory. It can be built with the following command:
make docs
which will produce an HTML version of the documentation in docs/build/html
that can be opened in a web browser.
Alternatively, a ready-built version of the PyQSO documentation can be found on Read the Docs.
Dependencies
PyQSO depends on the following Debian packages:
- gir1.2-gtk-3.0
- python3
- python3-gi-cairo (for log printing purposes)
The following extra packages are necessary to fully enable the grey line tool and the plotting of logbook statistics:
- python3-matplotlib (version 1.3.0 or later)
- python3-mpltoolkits.basemap
- python3-numpy
- libxcb-render0-dev
- python3-cairocffi
- geocoder (installable with
pip3
and used for QTH lookups)
The following extra package is necessary to build the documentation:
- python3-sphinx
There currently does not exist a Python 3-compatible Debian package for Hamlib. This library must be built manually to enable Hamlib support. As per the instructions on the Hamlib mailing list, run the following commands in the Hamlib root directory (you may need to run sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libtool
beforehand):
export PYTHON=/usr/bin/python3
autoreconf --install
./configure --with-python-binding
make
sudo make install
You will also need to append the Hamlib bindings
and bindings/.libs
directories to the PYTHONPATH
:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/hamlib/bindings:/path/to/hamlib/bindings/.libs
