small python skript to display tradegate data on a waveshare e-ink

important

• you need locale "de_AT.UTF-8 UTF-8" installed. do so in raspi-config's Localization setting
• install the only dependency python-pil
• the code is configured for a 3.7 inch display. every size needs a different library which you have to put into lib/. see the waveshare documentation https://github.com/waveshare/e-Paper/tree/master/RaspberryPi_JetsonNano/python
• for different display sizes change width and height in main.py.
• symbols.py holds the stocks to display and optionally the owned lots.

all data is directly pulled from JSON endpoints at tradegate. only for private use.

main.py works in two modes: if the login-user is "pi" it displays on the e-ink display. for any other username it starts in debug mode and outputs a preview image.
