Southwest Checkin Script

This is a command line python script that will, given a confirmation code and passenger name, will do the following:

• Look up flight info and display when the flights leave and where they are going.
• Wait until 24 hours the first flight
• Drive the web site to check in all users for that reservation.
• Optionally send email with the boarding pass as a PDF
• Repeat with any unchecked in flights

If you don't have the script email you, you will still need to go back to the southwest site to print your boarding pass, but you should have a decent place in line.
