Thanks. The main concern here is that we only provide sources for pytrainer and user would need to compile this application by his/her own. > The original references used can be found on my blog here > http://www.jamesarbrown.com/?p=5 which shows getting stuff from a 405 > into PyTrainer.

I have also found the following stuff out there: https://github.com/braiden/python-ant-downloader https://github.com/mvillalba/python-ant Good point of these last 2 is that they are python based and integration should be easier. Any experience with them?
