Description: PyMeeus
        =======
        
            **Library of astronomical algorithms in Python**.
        
        PyMeeus is a Python implementation of the astronomical algorithms
        described in the classical book "Astronomical Algorithms, 2nd Edition,
        Willmann-Bell Inc. (1998)" by Jean Meeus.
        
        There are great astronomical libraries out there. For instance, if
        you're looking for high precision and speed you should take a look at
        `libnova <http://libnova.sourceforge.net/>`__. For a set of python
        modules aimed at professional astronomers, you should look at
        `Astropy <http://www.astropy.org/>`__. On the other hand, the advantages
        of PyMeeus are its simplicity, ease of use, ease of reading, ease of
        installation (it has the minimum amount of dependencies) and abundant
        documentation.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        The easiest way of installing PyMeeus is using pip:
        
        .. code:: sh
        
            pip install pymeeus
        
        Or, for a per-user installation:
        
        .. code:: sh
        
            pip install --user pymeeus

        Contributing
        ------------
        
        The preferred method to contribute is through forking and pull requests:
        
        1. Fork it (https://github.com/architest/pymeeus/fork)
        2. Create your feature branch (``git checkout -b feature/fooBar``)
        3. Commit your changes (``git commit -am 'Add some fooBar'``)
        4. Push to the branch (``git push origin feature/fooBar``)
        5. Create a new Pull Request
        
        Please bear in mind that PyMeeus follows the PEP8 style guide for Python
        code `(PEP8) <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/?>`__. We suggest
        you install and use a linter like
        `Flake8 <http://flake8.pycqa.org/en/latest/>`__ before contributing.
        
        Additionally, PyMeeus makes heavy use of automatic tests. As a general
        rule, every function or method added must have a corresponding test in
        the proper place in ``tests`` directory.
        
        Finally, documentation is also a big thing here. Add proper and abundant
        documentation to your new code. This also includes in-line comments!!!.
