Someone showed me a screen shot of itãand asked if I could do something like it for Synchronet. I'm honestly not sureãI can, lol. ããYou did a really great job, I wanted to say kudos.

I'm not a coder or anything and this was the first thing I ever didãin Python. It started out just outputting the data like a list, and then Iãjust started adding onto it, making that template for it, etc. I originallyãwrote it for DayDream BBS, but I re-did it and started using mystic's MCIãcodes rather than ANSI positioning.ããI run the script as a door from the BBS, or it could be a timed event, and itãjust generates a text file which is then displayed to the user.ããThe module that does the heavy lifting is xmltodict, which I'm told is veryãsimilar to JSON. I use it for some other stuff like a Top 10 Box Officeãlisting, and I had a Summits on the Air spot lister once upon a time also.ããYou're free to use whatever you like. I was basically just riffing off theãsolar widgets from hamqsl. I actually sent him a screenshot of it in actionãand he loved it.ãã Ke> My post was basically because I was tinkering around to see if I couldã Ke> even play with the data before I started attempting to write anythingã Ke> else.ããGood luck with it! Let me know if you want to see the Python and I'll try toãfigure out a way to make it available. I never really released anythingãbecause my code is so bad I didn't want to get ridiculed for it, heheh.ããIn the meantime, I hope this solar flux index goes back up.

It makes a copy of the template and appendsãpositional codes with the respective data at the bottom. My first versionãused ANSI codes, when I made a version for Mystic, I used Mystic's MCIãpositional codes, and I'm sure Synchronet's positional codes would also work.ããIt also looks pretty decent with a good Amiga font...
