    I'm in the process of setting up your Orbit.py script and have been running into this error message
    File "c:\mystic\scripts\orbit\orbit.py" line 26, in (module)
    lat= str(sys.argv[1])
    indexError: list index out of range
    I'm a real Noob with python and was hoping you could suggest a fix :^)

    Hi Lloyd,

    This error means that the orbit.py script didn't get some parameter it
    needed. How did you execute the script? Normally from within the xq-orbit.mpx script? or did you tried to executed yourself?

    Did you press CTRL-L and entered both coordinates? cause these are
    parameters for the orbit.py script.

    Also there is a chance that you use a different version of python than the script uses. If i remember, this script needs python 2.7, but if you use
    python 3, perhaps this is the reason. To check this, edit the xq-orbit.mps
    file and go to line 500. Change the word "python" to "python2" or "python2.7" see what you got and post back to me.

    I hope its one of these. :)

    I was trying it from the command line, But now you mention it I should for obvious reasons run it from the mpx script so it can get the information it requires. Shoot me now :^)..

    I'm using 2.7 with Mystic.

    Many thanks, You've pointed me in the right direction for sure!

    Cheers
