fahrplan

Goal: Simple access to the sbb timetable service from the commandline with human readable argument parsing.

Relies on the public transport API by opendata.ch: http://transport.opendata.ch/

Fahrplan support both Python 2.6 and 2.7. PyPy should be working (except for the tests), but there is no official support until the tests are fixed. Python 3.3 support is under way.
