Google code scripts for creating .tqz files now also generate .gpx files

A short while ago I checked in a change to the google code project which provides example Python code for building files in the .tqz file format required by the Trailer iOS program.

This change enhances the example code so that as well as generating the .tqz (as used by the Trailer iOS application), it generates a .gpx file, which which can be used during Xcode debugging sessions to provide a feed of synthetic location events which simulate moving between the zones covered in the generated .tqz file at a speed which can be adjusted in the source code.

In theory, these scripts could be used or adapted for generation of .gpx files for use in development/debugging/testing of other iOS apps.

I'd welcome comments on whether anyone would be interested in having a similar feature added to the tl-trailer web application.
