It can be used to make custom finder charts, as well as do a tiny bit of cross-matching across catalogs.\n\nFollowing [The Friendly Stars](https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=xa8RAAAAYAAJ&printsec=frontcover&output=reader&hl=en&pg=GBS.PP1) by Martha Evans Martin (1925), \"the chief aim of this [package] is to share with others the pleasure which the writer has had in what may be called a relation of personal friendship with the stars.\" It is still a *work in progress*.\n\n## Usage\n\nPlease feel free to peruse the few examples of how `thefriendlystars` works in `notebooks/`, as well as the tests in the `tests/`. One simple usage would be to run\n```\nfrom thefriendlystars.constellations import Gaia\ng = Gaia.from_cone('GJ1132')\ng.animate('GJ1132-weeeeeeee.gif')\n```\nto make a finder chart that would work for past, present, and future astronomers.\n\n![example finder chart of GJ1132](images/GJ1132-weeeeeeee.gif)\n\n## Installation\nYou should be able to install this simply by running `pip install git+https://github.com/zkbt/the-friendly-stars.git`.\n\nIf you want to be able to modify the code yourself, please also feel free to fork/clone this repository onto your own computer and install directly from that editable package. For example, this might look like:\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/zkbt/the-friendly-stars.git\ncd craftroom/\npip install -e .\n```\nThis will link the installed version of the `thefriendlystars` package to your local repository. Changes you make to the code in the repository should be reflected in the version Python sees when it tries to `import thefriendlystars`.\n\n## Contributors\n\nThis package was written mostly by [Zach Berta-Thompson](https://github.com/zkbt), with contributions from [Luci Ibarra Perez](https://github.com/luib0557).", "description_content_type": "", "docs_url": null, "download_url": "", "downloads": { "last_day": -1, "last_month": -1, "last_week": -1 }, "home_page": "https://github.com/zkbt/the-friendly-stars", "keywords": "", "license": "MIT", "maintainer": "", "maintainer_email": "", "name": "thefriendlystars", "package_url": "https://pypi.org/project/thefriendlystars/", "platform": "", "project_url": "https://pypi.org/project/thefriendlystars/", "project_urls": { "Homepage": "https://github.com/zkbt/the-friendly-stars" }, "release_url": "https://pypi.org/project/thefriendlystars/0.0.2/", "requires_dist": null, "requires_python": "", "summary": "Python toolkit for managing catalogs of stars including tools for querying popular astronomy archives.", "version": "0.0.2" }, "last_serial": 4340656, "releases": { "0.0.0": [ { "comment_text": "", "digests": { "md5": "aa791a1546248ac77015b658763a847f", "sha256": "088c5bcdb239a3f37607538fb31606a88a5db8f5fb303befe265d9c73fa190c8" }, "downloads": -1, "filename": "thefriendlystars-0.0.0.tar.gz", "has_sig": false, "md5_digest": "aa791a1546248ac77015b658763a847f", "packagetype": "sdist", "python_version": "source", "requires_python": null, "size": 12224, "upload_time": "2018-09-30T04:41:47", "url": "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/ed/f3/6fd72b307dee8f862c03ae4c22e8bd56c373904d976048e32fd9289d6580/thefriendlystars-0.0.0.tar.gz" } ], "0.0.1": [ { "comment_text": "", "digests": { "md5": "f2cfdc7bb9cb7d04801e5a8ef11ad09c", "sha256": "9c71521fc53e7879e41367031acfa1fa9aaa37aafb5f35ea7bfce07fa2466d9c" }, "downloads": -1, "filename": "thefriendlystars-0.0.1.tar.gz", "has_sig": false, "md5_digest": "f2cfdc7bb9cb7d04801e5a8ef11ad09c", "packagetype": "sdist", "python_version": "source", "requires_python": null, "size": 12231, "upload_time": "2018-10-03T20:16:46", "url": "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/8e/9e/b79cc8b630bd415e1841e92076fcf503195f90240352059124aca7ed4087/thefriendlystars-0.0.1.tar.gz" } ], "0.0.2": [ { "comment_text": "", "digests": { "md5": "dc9fb5d5a85e65a249c75b6d8152c2b7", "sha256": "b3c7a460c0848f4b5fe4debf6782941137bd006910f93f0edef88b2ce26de63d" }, "downloads": -1, "filename": "thefriendlystars-0.0.2.tar.gz", "has_sig": false, "md5_digest": "dc9fb5d5a85e65a249c75b6d8152c2b7", "packagetype": "sdist", "python_version": "source", "requires_python": null, "size": 12234, "upload_time": "2018-10-04T14:52:51", "url": "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/cf/4f/a26f5dbd83e48024d3b46f28c033644914465aaa32268d8afb35e4e47b26/thefriendlystars-0.0.2.tar.gz" } ] }, "urls": [ { "comment_text": "", "digests": { "md5": "dc9fb5d5a85e65a249c75b6d8152c2b7", "sha256": "b3c7a460c0848f4b5fe4debf6782941137bd006910f93f0edef88b2ce26de63d" }, "downloads": -1, "filename": "thefriendlystars-0.0.2.tar.gz", "has_sig": false, "md5_digest": "dc9fb5d5a85e65a249c75b6d8152c2b7", "packagetype": "sdist", "python_version": "source", "requires_python": null, "size": 12234, "upload_time": "2018-10-04T14:52:51", "url": "https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/cf/4f/a26f5dbd83e48024d3b46f28c033644914465aaa32268d8afb35e4e47b26/thefriendlystars-0.0.2.tar.gz" } ] }
