# bike2csv - Convert FIT, PWX and TCX files from a bike computer to CSV format
Parse any file obtained from a bike computer to a csv file.
This packages supports the following file extensions: `.fit`, `.FIT`, `.pwx` and `.tcx`.
## Installation
The package is available under pypi:
```
pip install bike2csv
```
## Usage
This code unzips `.gz` files, then converts this unzipped (`.fit`, `.FIT`, `.pwx` or `.tcx`) file to a `.csv` file. The code is designed such that all different file extensions are converted to similar csv files (e.g. the same column names). This makes it easier for analyzing and merging the files later.
If your exported files have a `.gz` format, you can run the sample script underneath to *unzip* your files and convert them to csv.
```python
import os
from bike2csv.converter import Converter
root = 'data/'
person = 'Albert Einstein'
path = dict(_path_zip = os.path.join(root, 'export', person), # where your .fit.gz files are saved
_path_fit = os.path.join(root, 'fit', person), # where your .fit files will be saved
_path_csv = os.path.join(root, 'csv', person)) # where the .csv files will be saved
converter = Converter(**path)
for file in converter.files:
converter.convert(file)
```
If your exported files are *not zipped* anymore, you can run the following sample script to convert your files to csv. Note that the only difference is whether you give `_path_zip` to the `Converter` class. If you do not give it a `_path_zip`, it simply assumes your files are already unzipped.
```python
import os
from bike2csv.converter import Converter
root = 'data/'
person = 'Albert Einstein'
path = dict(_path_fit = os.path.join(root, 'fit', person), # where your .fit files are be saved
_path_csv = os.path.join(root, 'csv', person)) # where the .csv files will be saved
converter = Converter(**path)
for file in converter.files:
converter.convert(file)
```
You can of course adjust the script as you please.
A sample script can also be found under `bin/run.py`.
