        poliastro is an open source pure Python package dedicated to problems arising in Astrodynamics and
        Orbital Mechanics, such as orbit propagation, solution of the Lambert's
        problem, conversion between position and velocity vectors and classical
        orbital elements and orbit plotting. It is released under the MIT license.

            from poliastro.plotting import plot

        Requirements
        ============
        
        poliastro requires the following Python packages:
        
        * NumPy, for basic numerical routines
        * Astropy, for physical units and time handling
        * numba (optional), for accelerating the code
        * jplephem, for the planetary ephemerides using SPICE kernels
        * matplotlib, for the orbit plotting
        
        poliastro is usually tested on Linux and Windows on Python 2.7, 3.3 and 3.4
        (single codebase). It should work on OS X too with no changes (not tested).
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        The easiest and fastest way to get the package up and running is to
        install poliastro using `conda <http://conda.io>`_::
        
          $ conda install poliastro --channel poliastro
        
        You can also `install poliastro from PyPI`_ using pip, given that you already
        have all the requirements::
        
          $ pip install poliastro
        
        You can also `download poliastro source from GitHub`_ and type::
        
          $ python setup.py install
        
        Development installations are also supported thanks to setuptools::
        
          $ python setup.py develop
        
        .. _`install poliastro from PyPI`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/poliastro/
        .. _`download poliastro source from GitHub`: http://github.com/poliastro/poliastro
        
        It is recommended that you **never ever use sudo** with distutils, pip,
        setuptools and friends in Linux because you might seriously break your
        system [1_][2_][3_][4_]. Options are `per user directories`_, `virtualenv`_
        or `local installations`_.

        Testing
        =======
        
        If installed correctly, the tests can be run using py.test::
        
          $ python -c "import poliastro; poliastro.test()"
          Running unit tests for poliastro
          [...]
          OK

        FAQ
        ===
        
        Does it work on Windows and OS X too?
        -------------------------------------
        
        poliastro is tested on Windows (see above). It is a pure Python package with
        no compiled extensions, so it should work under Windows or Mac OS X with
        properly installed dependencies. Please file a bug on the
        `issue tracker`_ otherwise.
        
        What's up with the name?
        ------------------------
        
        poliastro comes from Polimi, which is the shortened name of the Politecnico di
        Milano, the Italian university where I was studying while writing this
        software. It's my tiny tribute to a place I came to love. *Grazie mille!*
