Flightaware

Flightaware is a module that should display flight information from flightaware.com

Usage:

get a flight information:

using the get() method will return a 3 tuple dict:

flight_departure, flight_arrival , flight_general = flightaware().get('Flight Name')

flight_departure and flight_arrival holds:

'Airport'
'Terminal'
'Time'
'Scheduled Time'

And flight_general holds:

'Name'
'Duration'
'Flight Date'
'Flight Status'
'Flight Aircraft'

Note

This module is nowhere to be complete. it needs optimization and has some bugs, that I'm probably not going to fix. I've created this while waiting at the air port for my dad's plane to land.

demo.py is a very simple use-case for this module. It uses VeryPrettyTable to display the information in a table form.
