Automatic AP Transport Registration check for Vehicles

This is a software for testing if a vehicle is registered or not from the AP Transport registration department.

Using:

• Python
• mechanize python library

Installation:

1. Download and install Python.
   • url: https://www.python.org/downloads/
   • download the latest version and install it
2. Download and install Mechanize Python Library:
   • url: http://wwwsearch.sourceforge.net/mechanize/download.html
   • Download a stable release, version at the time of writing: mechanize-0.2.5.tar.gz
   • Extract the tar.gz file and copy the "mechanize" directory from the mechanize-X.X.X directory.
   • paste the copied directory to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Python2.X\Lib\site-packages". This finishes the mechanize insallation.
3. We need to install "Beautiful Soup" package as well.
   • Installation instructions will be updated soon (If you know, you are good to go)
4. Now Download the latest release of ARC (Automatic Registration Checker)
   • url: https://github.com/inblueswithu/AutoRegistrationCheck/releases
   • Click the link for Latest Release: https://github.com/inblueswithu/AutoRegistrationCheck/releases/download/v0.2/ARC_v0.2.zip (or) Download by selecting the ARC_v0.X.X.zip in the Releases Section
5. Crate a directory with name "ARC" and Extract the contents into it.
6. Double click on "Registration Checker.pyc" to run. If it runs properly skip step 6, Update the file 'engine_nos.txt' with appropriate engine numbers. Registered No's are written to file 'registered_nos.txt'.
7. If step 5 gave any errors which is not meaningful, we will have to build an executable for your system. Follow the steps below:
   • Open Python IDLE Console. (Search in Start menu)
   • Type >>> import py_compile in the console & hit enter
   • Type >>> py_compile.compile('H:\ARC\Main.py') in the console & hit enter. Modify the path H:\ARC\Main.py accordingly for the file we downloaded in step 4.
   • This should produce a file 'Main.pyc' in the same directory.
   • Rename it to remember it, usually "Registration Checker.pyc".
   • Run it to test if its working, if not contact Developer at: [email protected]

Note: Here X - means any number (due to versioning)

Issues:

No perfect executable or finished user specific build is not yet generated. Have to learn how to do that a build with mechanize library & with python libs inbuild.
