pytrainer is a desktop application for logging and graphing sporting activities such as running or cycling sessions. Data can be imported from GPS devices, files or input manually. Currently pytrainer supports GPX, TCX, and FIT files.
Most popular Linux distributions (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and so on) already contain a pytrainer package, use that if available. If a package is not available for your system you can install from source, see below.
Copy tarball file to a location where you have write and execution rights (e.g. your $HOME directory).
tar -xzf pytrainer-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
cd pytrainer-X.Y.Z
pip install ."[gui]"
pytrainerThis installation method is very similar to the basic source install above. For development it makes more sense to start from a git clone instead of a tarball, and also makes more sense to install into a virtual Python environment.
git clone https://github.com/pytrainer/pytrainer.git
cd pytrainer
python3 -m venv .venv
.venv/bin/pip install -e ".[gui]"
.venv/bin/pytrainerFor map functionality the GIR bindings for WebKit2 need to be installed.
Certain plugins and extensions also need additional software:
| Package | Plugin or extension |
|---|---|
| GPSBabel | Garmin via GPSBabel and Google Earth plugins (aka garmin-hr) |
| garmintools | Import from Garmin GPS device (Garmin via garmintools plugin aka garmintools_full) |
| Perl | Garmin FIT plugin |
| wordpresslib | Wordpress extension, already distributed within pytrainer tarball |
| httplib2 | Wordpress extension |
| SOAPpy | Dotclear extension |
| GDAL | Elevation correction extension, via gdal-python or python-gdal |
