Updated Trade Maps

[ovka]

I was looking at the trade maps and noticed a comment that indicated they would be updated after the Aslan sectors were completed for the travellermap site. I think we have all of the updates we are going to get for a while (except maybe SPICA). Is there any plan for an update?

Cheers,

I am working on it. I'm currently doing some experimentation with a wiki bot programming to upload the results automatically rather than doing it by hand. I've been using PyWikiBot and the provided scripts to manage this.

There are four chunks that need to be uploaded: The Sector summary pages, the Subsector summary pages, the Sector data pages, and the PDF Maps.

The first three work using that system. The PDF maps fail due to an argument regarding ascii vs unicode encodings of the binary PDF file somewhere between the MIME and the httplib python libraries.

I'm going to phase 2 and try another python wiki bot framework and see if I can get that to work any better.
