Hey folks,
I notice that from time to time some programming tools pop up here and there. So here I am with yet another library (yes, it's only a library, not a standalone tool) for Python coders. Bikerouter, as the name suggets, is a simple Python package that lets anyone easily use the power of bikerouter.de in their scripts to calculate the length, time or energy cost of the route.
It's an open source, licensed with MIT. I isolated the reverse-engineered API from the rest of the bigger, personal project (bunch of heuristics to choose subset of points to visit and optimize the route) and cleaned it up a bit. Right now it's a bare minimum that works and can be installed as package with pip in your venv. In future I may add some set of tests and try to get it added into offical pypi repo – but for sure not in the middle of riding season 😉 Feel free to use it in your projects.
