A python tacview consumer. Install from pypy with pip install tacview-client.

py-tacview-client processes either a realtime tacview steam, or a an existing tacview acmi file, enriches the data to detect collisions between objects, parent relationships to child objects (projectiles), and streams the resulting data into a postgres database.

tacview_client assumes that you have set an environment variable, TACVIEW_DATABASE_URL, equal to the connection DSN of a postgressql database where tacview output should be stored. The format for the DSN should match: postgresql://{ip}:{port}/{dbname}?user={username}&password={password}

After installation, you'll need to initialize that tables with: tacview createdb. To nuke everything and start from scratch, run tacview dropdb.

To process a single acmi file, run: tacview process_file --filename {Path to the File}.

To process a real-time event stream from a running tacview server, run:

tacview process_stream
    --host {ip-of-tacview-server}
    --port {default:42674}
    --client_name {auth username}
    --client_password {auth-password}

The py-tacview-client codebase utilizes the black formatting standard.
