This project is a small Python script which uses a publicly available Cloudant database that contain all airports in the world. The script will find airports sorted by distance in an user defined radius of a latitudinal-longitudinal point.
Built with
The script was developed with Python 3.7, but it should work with other Python 3 versions as well.
Show what the library does as concisely as possible, developers should be able to figure out how your project solves their problem by looking at the code example. Make sure the API you are showing off is obvious, and that your code is short and concise.
Provide step by step series of examples and explanations about how to get a development env running.
Depending on the size of the project, if it is small and simple enough the reference docs can be added to the README. For medium size to larger projects it is important to at least provide a link to where the API reference docs live.
No tests are available yet.
There is two ways to use the script:
- By running the script with 3 optional arguments:
python airport_finder.py --longitude 21.9189 --latitude 47.0465 --radius 100000
- longitude: must be a float value, which is longitudinal part of the center coordinate of the area
- latitude: must be a float value, which is latitudinal part of the center coordinate of the area
- radius: must be a float value, is the radius which defines the area of the search area with center defined by the longitude-latitude coordinate
If the arguments are float values than the script will fail to start and a help message will be printed. To print manual of the CLI, use the following command:
python airport_finder.py -h
If one of the arguments is not provided than the script will wait for input from the user. (case nr 2.)
- By running the script without arguments:
python airport_finder.py
In this case the script will wait for longitude, latitude and radius inputs from the user. For example:
Please provide the following information (radius in meters):
Longitude: 21.9189
Latitude: 47.0465
Radius: 100000
If the input values are not float values than the scrip will ask for input again until the values are not valid.
To stop the script press: CTRL + C.
- longitude: 21.9189, latitude: 47.0465, radius: any arbitrary number (in meters) - Nagyvárad (Oradea), Romania (my home town :) )
- longitude: 19.0402, latitude: 47.4979, radius: any arbitrary number (in meters) - Budapest, Hungary (where I live :) )
Please feel free to fork the project.
