Traveller 5 cargogen
Python modules to produce speculative cargoes in Traveller 5.
Current status:
- T5_cargogen.app.simple.TradeCargo() handles generating, naming, cost and price for a cargo
- T5_cargogen.app.simple.BrokerSale() hadnles broker interactions
- There is a web UI using flask. See notes for setting this up locally. Alternatively, there is a copy in Heroku's app service at http://t5-cargogen.herokuapp.com/ Note that this uses Heroku's free tier, so you may encounter a short delay as the instance spins up (if it's already running, you should see it immediately).
- It has been extensively tested using Python 2.7, testing with Python 3.5 is in progress
Check your OS for instructions; here are some examples:
- Ubuntu:
sudo apt install python-virtualenv - CentOS:
sudo yum install python-virtualenv - Windows: See http://www.tylerbutler.com/2012/05/how-to-install-python-pip-and-virtualenv-on-windows-with-powershell/
- Mac:
sudo easy_install virtualenv
Clone the repo with your preferred git client
Change to the newly-downloaded directory
$ virtualenv venv This sets up a subdirectory called venv which will hold your virtual Python environment, including all the required Flask modules
$ python ./manage.py runserver

Point a browser at localhost:5000 and enter a valid UWP in the Source world UWP box; under Planet details you will see your UWP, its relevant trade codes and the cargo, with label, description and cost/ton.
Add one or more UWPs (space- or comma-separated) to the Market world UWP box; under Planet details you will see the source world cargo as before, as well as a line for each market world listing its UWP, trade codes and the base sale price - the price that will be adjusted by an actual value Flux roll (see T5 rules, page 487).
- Make Python packages
- Generate actual value (based on market world and broker skill)
