### Overview
Kerosene is a lightweight, compact and intuitive application allowing users to
record and permanently store flight information in a personal microdatabase.
The program has a number of features:
* A panel providing miscellaneous database and flight information
* Navigable list allowing users to view/retrieve flights by date
* A menu providing basic database management functionalities
* A search by date tool to quickly retrieve flight Data
* Facilities to export data to Excel and JSON formats
* A dashboard to visually display flight routes on a map

### Installation
Kerosene currently runs only on Windows. The easiest way to obtain, install and
run the software is to download the Windows installer provided in the [releases](https://github.com/errantbot/kerosene/releases)
page. A zipped folder version of the software is also available should you wish
to unzip and run the software from a location of your choice.
If you wish to install kerosene from source you should be aware that the program
is only compatible with Python 3.
A requirements.txt file is provided to install all python modules needed to
run the program. Run
```pip install -r requirements.txt``` to install them.
In addition Kerosene needs the [Matplotlib Basemap Toolkit](http://matplotlib.org/basemap/)
to visually display data. To install the Basemap Toolkit either:
* Install from [binary](https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/)
making sure you follow the official [installation guidelines](http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/installing.html).
* Download a wheel distribution file from [here](http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#basemap)
making sure that you select a version compatible and supported by your Python.
Then run ```pip install basemap-.whl``` to install.

### Credits
As part of it's flight finder facility Kerosene uses tkentrycomplete.py
a tkinter widget that features autocompletion created by Mitja Martini
on 2008-11-29. This is a subclass of tkinter.Entry that features
autocompletion and can be found on Tkinter's Wiki page at
http://tkinter.unpythonic.net/wiki/AutocompleteEntry.
Kerosene is able to export data to .xlsx spreadsheet files thanks to openpyxl,
a Python library written by Eric Gazoni and also distributed under MIT license.
