Add a script to download TLEs and store them to a database #56
Conversation
…rbital into feature-tle-download-db
This makes me think of the Maybe this database should be stored in a location like the PROJ database, but the TLE files are stored in a more temporary or cache-y location? Just some ideas. |
I think it's best to let the user decide where the database is stored. All the software we have (pyorbital, AAPP, PPS, pytroll schedule) read the TLE data from text files and either use I'll sill adjust the text file saving so that multiple output directories/patterns are possible. |
Could there be an API in pyorbital or other package that given parameters (platform, time, etc) gives back the TLE file or the information from the TLE file? |

LGTM.
As discussed on slack, I would like to be able to handle the data on a purely text file basis (switch off SQLite), and send messages about the new TLEs, but this will be another PR.
This PR adds a script that can be used to download TLE data from various sources, and store them in a database. The latest TLEs can also stored to a text file.
Testing for Python 2.7 is removed!
