I've been slowly but surely working through this week's ham radio QSO elevation profile project. The way I want to use the tool (Datasette) doesn't feel like a good fit for the tool. That's made things more difficult. In short, here's what I hope to achieve: Plot a partial QSO path for each contact from the transmitting station (me), about 10 wavelenghts or so out towards the receiving station, so about 200 meters or so in this case. This path should be on the kml map of the QSO This is done. Place a png picture of the elevation profile into the Datasette row for that QSO. This is what this post was about. Add this picture to the kml map as well. So! I think I was wrong! The point of this whole operation was to have elevation profiles directly available in kml animated maps. I wanted them to be automatically included with each QSO, but my ownw specification was that they should be in the map. Not the database! Basically, there's data, the dates, times, callsign
All of the Datasette plugins and enrichments contain this development instruction towards the bottom of their documentation page: Now install the dependencies and test dependencies: pip install -e '.[test]' However, on windows, the above pip install line does not work. It returns an error message: ERROR: '.[test]' Note that the single quotes are still in the message. That is in fact the issue. This command: pip install -e .[test] Does work on Windows. I've updated the documentation on the datasette-enrichments-gmap-geocode package to reflect this.
