2. If you are running an Intel or AMD CPU in 32 bit mode, it is recommended to get Psyco. You may either do so manually, or use your package manager. Details are on the Psyco web site.
3. python-gpsbabel This is a required module for Cache901 after v0.2.
4. PySerial This is used to detect attached ports on the machine, and allow the user to specify which port to use to speak with the GPSr.
5. SQLite Comes with Python 2.5 and up, so you should not need to get anything. However, if your Python didn't come with it, here's where to get it

Source Distribution

Doing any work with the source will require a working copy of wxPython 2.8 or higher. Building installers for Windows will require py2exe and NSIS. I also used the HM NIS Editor for NSIS, though that is not required. Building the application bundle for OSX will require py2app, and building the .dmg was made easiest (for me) by using Easy DMG.

If you are running an Intel or AMD CPU in 32 bit mode, it is recommended to get Psyco. You may either do so manually, or use your package manager. Details are on the Psyco web site

You may get the source by downloading the source distribution (2.6M) and extracting it. You may also get the source by pointing your svn client at http://cache901.googlecode.com/hg/. If you will be doing work on the source code, I recommend using mercurial, as that will allow you to submit patch files and get updates more easily and reliably.

To Get Python-GPSBabel

For all other systems, download the source archive, extract it, and then run "python setup.py install" as documented in the README.txt file.
