Hi Marcel,

Great script, comes really useful for my mother's Suunto watch, the GPX generated was accepted by Strava.

I had huge problems installing Python 3.8 (I should update my system soon). I went on and modified your script a bit so it runs Python 3.5, see my fork.

Regards,

Mike

Hi @mike-kilo ,

Not sure if you missed it, but I'm keeping track of this script in a "real" repository now: https://github.com/mrvdb/suuntoapp2gpx

At the moment, the script isn't different from the gist though.

Hi Marcel,

I did miss it indeed. Would you care for a pull request (for Python 3.4 - 3.6) or you'd rather stick to Python 3.7?

Pull request will be welcomed. I have no objections to make it work for earlier versions of python as long as we keep it working for 3.7 as well. The 'minimum' I put in was just my current python version at that time.
