Introduction

Tawhiri is the name given to the next version of the CUSF Landing Prediction Software, which will probably be different enough from the current version (see below) to warrant a new name.

The name comes from a Māori god of weather, which rather aptly “drove Tangaroa and his progeny into the sea ” (WP).

More information

Please see the CUSF wiki, which contains pages on Tawhiri and prediction in general.

More detailed API and setup documentation.

Setup

Predictor

…is written for Python 3, is compatible with Python 2, and needs Cython:

$ virtualenv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ python setup.py build_ext --inplace

The last line (re-)builds the Cython extensions, and needs to be run again after modifying any .pyx files.

Downloader

The downloader was written before Python had good cooperative concurrency support, and so is instead a separate application in OCaml.
