Moon Phase App

Python CLI and Tkinter GUI programs to calculate moon phases and other moon data.

Batch files are included to use Nuitka to convert the Python .py program to a Windows exe using GCC. To avoid false positives from my anti virus for the single file, I created a Windows 11 Evaluation VM and installed Nuitka 1.8.6 and Python 3.9.13.

Requirements

Uses the Python ephem library.

• pip install ephem
• pip install geopy
• pip install tkcalendar
