About

ArchMap

archmap.py generates geojson and kml files which can be used to display a map of Arch Linux users, it does this by parsing data from the ArchWiki.

One rendering of the data is on a map over at mapbox.com - This is updated manually so it may be out of date.

Have a look at the ArchMap page on the ArchWiki for more information about this project.

The documentation is hosted by readthedocs.org .

Synopsis

By default, running ./archmap.py will output three files to /tmp, users.txt, output.geojson and output.kml, this can be overridden by either using the config file or by the command line switches.

The config file should be placed in /etc/archmap.conf, this can be overridden by using --config <path-to-config-file>

Use

Running ./archmap.py --help will display this help message:
