I'm in the process of setting up your Orbit.py script and have been running into this error message

File "c:\mystic\scripts\orbit\orbit.py" line 26, in (module)
lat= str(sys.argv[1])
indexError: list index out of range

I'm a real Noob with python and was hoping you could suggest a fix :^)

Cheers
Lloyd

Hi Lloyd,

This error means that the orbit.py script didn't get some parameter it
needed. How did you execute the script? Normally from within the xq-orbit.mpx script? or did you tried to executed yourself?

Did you press CTRL-L and entered both coordinates? cause these are
parameters for the orbit.py script.

Also there is a chance that you use a different version of python than the script uses. If i remember, this script needs python 2.7, but if you use
python 3, perhaps this is the reason. To check this, edit the xq-orbit.mps
file and go to line 500. Change the word "python" to "python2" or "python2.7" see what you got and post back to me.

I hope its one of these. :)

I was trying it from the command line, But now you mention it I should for obvious reasons run it from the mpx script so it can get the information it requires. Shoot me now :^)..

I'm using 2.7 with Mystic.

Many thanks, You've pointed me in the right direction for sure!
