Calamity track/Script

This is a Python script to generate the calamity track table. Copy the code in the box below into a text file named calamityTable.py (or whatever you want) inside the Wildermyth directory. Then run it by calling python calamityTable.py from the command line. It will create a text file named calamityTable.txt, which is wiki-formatted and can be pasted into the calamity track page.
