Python tool to create LinuxCNC Tool Table from Tool Library

I invested a lot of time to create my Tool Library in Fusion360.  I wanted to be able to generate a LinuxCNC Tool Table from that data.  With a little digging I found the file format to be quite easy to parse.  You can find my script on Github at the following URL:  https://github.com/ntc490/fusion360/

Thanks for making this available.  Sounds great but I am having trouble loading docopt on my Ubuntu 10.04 system.  I am using this old version for linuxcnc because newer versions don't give good timing results on the hardware I am using.  Synaptic Package Manager finds the package but generates a file not found error when trying to install.  What's the simplest way to install this?

 

Does the input expect the zipped version or just the json file?  A few more notes on operation would be nice for those of us with less experience with these sort of things.
