I believe Linux and Mac already have Python installed by default but windows does not so it will need to be installed if you don't already have it.
The files should be extracted to any directory that has read/write permissions.
The "Traffic_Creator.py" and "traffic_test.xml" files should be extracted to any directory that has read/write permissions.
Traffic_Creator.py can be run either through an IDE or directly from the directory via the command line/terminal by typing "python Traffic_Creator.py" without the quotes.
Traffic_Creator.py can be run either through an IDE or directly from the directory via the command line/terminal by typing "python3 Traffic_Creator.py" without the quotes.
In windows you can open the terminal from the directory the files are in by clicking in the address bar and typing cmd then enter.
The program should be self explanatory if you have delt with traffic files before but if not I suggest reading up about them on the Wiki first. -

When finished save the file with the name of your choice, all being well it can be copied straight into your AI/Traffic folder and ready for use.
This is not an xml editor, it can not edit traffic files, I created it to quickly write test or local files so it's not really a program for writing airline schedules.

This is my first Python program so any errors and bugs are entirely down to me. ;)
