        ======
        
        The ``eph`` package provides some useful classes to retrieve and manipulate ephemerides. 
        
        **Basic Usage**::
        
        	import eph
        
        	req = eph.JPLReq() # create the request
        		.read('defaults.cfg', 'jplparams') # read parameters from file
        		.set({'COMMAND': '399', 'START_TIME': '2017-01-01', 'STOP_TIME': '2017-31-12'}) # set parameters from dictionary
        	res = req.request() # perform the request obtaining a response from jpl
        	eph = res.ephemeris # extract the ephemeris from the response
        
        	print(eph) # print data
        
        The content of ``defaults.cfg`` can be something like this (see ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/ssd/horizons_batch_example.long for a complete description of JPL parameters)::
        
        	[jplparams]
        	CENTER='@0'
        	OBJ_DATA=NO
        	MAKE_EPHEM=YES
        	TABLE_TYPE=VECTORS
        	VEC_TABLE=1
        	REFERENCE_PLANE=ECLIPTIC
        	REF_SYSTEM=J2000
        	OUT_UNITS=AU-D
        	CSV_FORMAT=YES
        	VEC_LABEL=NO
        	STEP_SIZE=1d
