Download and Install¶

The pybctc project is hosted at <http://bitbucket.org/kc/pybctc>. Releases are made via the Python Package Index at <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pybctc>. Online documentation is made available at <http://packages.python.org/pybctc>.

Requirements¶

Python 2.4 or better - Available at <http://python.org/download> (2009-11-25).
pytz - “World timezone definitions, modern and historical”. Available at <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pytz> (2009-11-14).
xlrd - “Library for developers to extract data from Microsoft Excel (tm) spreadsheet files”. Available at <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/xlrd/0.5.2> (2010-02-20).

Extract the archive, enter the recovered directory and type:

python setup.py install

Python <= 2.3 - Fails because of requirement for decimal module introduced in Python 2.4.
Python 3 - pybctc uses two underlying libraries, pytz and xlrd, that have no Python 3 version available (2010-02-20). When these underlying libraries support Python 3 the pybctc library can quickly be made to work.
