pyfixm is a library that contains Python wrappers for the FIXM XML Schemas, plus the US NAS extension for the FAA. Currently the library is built for FIXM v3.0, as this is what the FAA uses to publish data through SWIM.
import pyfixm
xml = pyfixm.parse("./fixm_file.xml")To build pyfixm either use the suppled build-pyfixm PyCharm run
configuration or by manually running scripts/build.py. Both methods build
the library within a Docker image and then extract the built library to
./pyfixm on the host computer. Reminder to install Docker if you haven't
already.
This project has two licenses. Because really what this repository creates is a transpilation of the FIXM XSD files, the generated library is treated as a distribution of the upstream and not a novel codebase and assumes no further copyright with the built library. Both components are licensed under the BSD 3-Clause, but the copyright holder is different.
The pyfixm library-generating source code is licensed under the BSD 3-Clause
license.
The generated library (the part that gets published to PyPI) is licensed under the same license as the upstream FIXM XSD files. Note that the copyright is attributed to the FIXM copyright holders to avoid any copyright complexities.
