pyfa, short for python fitting assistant, allows you to create, experiment with, and save ship fittings without being in game. Open source and written in Python, it is available on any platform where Python 2.x and wxWidgets are available, including Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
The latest version along with release notes can always be found on the project's Releases page. pyfa will notify you if you are running an outdated version.
Windows and OS X users are supplied self-contained builds of pyfa on the latest releases page. An .exe installer is also available for Windows builds. Linux users can run pyfa using their distribution's Python interpreter. There is no official self-contained package for Linux, however, there are a number of third-party packages available through distribution-specific repositories.
There are two different distributives for OS X: -mac and -mac-deprecated.
-mac: based on wxPython 3.0.2.0 and has updated libraries. This is the recommended build.-mac-deprecated: utilizes older binaries running on wxPython 2.8; because of this, some features are not available (currently CREST support and Attribute Overrides). Additionally, as development happens primarily on wxPython 3.0, a few GUI bugs may pop up as-mac-deprecatedis not actively tested. However, due to some general issues with wxPython 3.0, especially on some newer OS X versions,-mac-deprecatedis still offered for those that need it.
There is also a Homebrew option for installing pyfa on OS X. Please note this is maintained by a third-party and is not tested by pyfa developers. Simply fire up in terminal:
$ brew install Caskroom/cask/pyfa
The following is a list of pyfa packages available for certain distributions. Please note that these packages are maintained by third-parties and are not evaluated by the pyfa developers.
