A Python 3 package to download bars and turn them into autoloaders.
Subsumes `archivist <https://github.com/thurask/archivist>`__ and
`lazyloader <https://github.com/thurask/lazyloader>`__.

With command line arguments, it proceeds as directed. Without command
line arguments, it queries the user as to OS version, radio version,
software version, etc. Most arguments are assumed with the
questionnaire, so if you want fine control, use arguments.

This can be used either as importing bbarchivist, or the scripts from a command line.

Requirements
------------

Universal
~~~~~~~~~

Requires Python >=3.4. Install the latest.

To get this package, install with pip:

::

    $ pip install bbarchivist

On POSIX, type that in your command line. For Windows, I recommend
`pip-win <https://sites.google.com/site/pydatalog/python/pip-for-windows>`__.

A copy of cap.exe is included with this script.

Since it does the entire autoloader process for all devices from start
to finish, make sure to have A LOT of hard drive space. 40GB at least,
even more if you aren't using 7-Zip compression.

It also requires the
`requests <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/install/>`__
library installed somehow. Installation with pip does this
automatically, or use your package manager's version.

7-Zip compression (default) uses
`p7zip <http://sourceforge.net/projects/p7zip/>`__
(Linux/Mac)/`7-Zip <http://www.7-zip.org/download.html>`__ (Windows).
Zip and tar.xxx compression don't require external programs.

Windows
~~~~~~~

To use 7-Zip compression, have 7-Zip installed. If not, make sure to
specify a non-7-Zip compression method when invoking the script.

Linux
~~~~~

If you're using 7z compression, this requires p7zip (look through your
package manager, or install from source) in your path. I.e.:

::

    $ which 7za

resolves to something.

Your package manager should also have a python-requests package
available. If not, or if you want the latest, compile from source. Or
use pip.

Other than that, install this with pip.

Mac
~~~

Same as Linux, but you'll have to either install p7zip from source, or
install it with something like `Homebrew <http://brew.sh>`__ or
`MacPorts <https://www.macports.org>`__.

What It Does
------------

9. Verify loaders (optional)

Lazyloader
~~~~~~~~~~

1. Ask for OS/radio/software versions, device type (if not specified)
2. Download the right OS/radio bar based on above input/specification
3. Extract bars
4. Create autoloader
5. Ask to load autoloader (Windows only)

CarrierChecker
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
