EVE Industry Status Tool v0.1 Complete

My experiment in Python coding is complete for a first iteration. I present to you, EVE Industry Status Tool version 0.1.

Its rough. No, really rough. I need to work on widget placement strategy, I want to explore tabs because some statuses are more important than others, I want to look into adding contract status, corporate office asset lists, etc. But overall I'm pretty pleased, it gives me 90% of the information I need at a glance without having to log in or fight with EVEMon.

If anyone wants to beta test it, let me know. It requires no installation, just a zip file you unzip to a folder, and a config file you edit to put in your CEO's appropriate key and validating code.

Exercising Those Developer Muscles

Project Vulcan continues apace with Archons and the occasional Chimera for a corp mate being produced and sold on market for copious amounts of ISK.

The one frustrating part of the project is keeping an eye on all the moving parts in this operation that is spread across multiple characters: Buy orders, sell orders, industry jobs, contracts, and assets. Even with everything done through the corporation, I still need to log in to see what's going on or use a third party tool.

So being the masochist that I am, I decided the best course of action was to build my own little app that would allow me to see my status at a glance. I've got the API calls I need to make and decided that instead of trying to do a heavy C#/.Net app again I would do some playing around in Python.

Progress So Far

So far I got a window with a poorly placed listbox. Its been a busy day.
