Re: [Tlf-devel] Tlf scoring for Stew Perry?

Hi Mike, et. al.

Hamlib can be used from a Python, Perl, or TCL script and call the
functions used for calculating azimuth and distance using several
different location formats.  Ervin mentioned below about some changes he
submitted to the non-C language bindings.  Those changes are only
available in the development branch of Hamlib at this time (we're
working to get the next version "out the door").

An example of how Python can be used for these functions can be found in
the latter part of the following script:

https://github.com/N0NB/hamlib/blob/master/bindings/pytest.py

A daily snapshot of the development branch is available at:

http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net

Compiling is not too difficult although certain dependencies exist,
particularly for compiling the language bindings.  Most of all the
information is detailed in the INSTALL and README.betatester files in
the source archive.

Admittedly, getting started learning the Hamlib functions is not as easy
as it should be due to a lack of good documentation.  I started on a
manual earlier this year and really need to get back to working on it.
