Description-en: Compute positions of the planets and stars with Python 2
PyEphem provides an ephem Python package for performing high-precision
astronomy computations. The underlying numeric routines are coded in C and
are the same ones that drive the popular XEphem astronomy application, whose
author, Elwood Charles Downey, generously gave permission for their use in
PyEphem.
.
The name ephem is short for the word ephemeris, which is the
traditional term for a table giving the position of a planet, asteroid, or
comet for a series of dates.
.
This package contains the Python 2 version of the package.
