Project description
pyaavso is a Python library for working with AAVSO (American Association of Variable Star Observers) data. The library is compatible with both Python 2.7 and 3.3+.
Features
reading and writing variable star observations in AAVSO’s Visual File Format
downloading all observation data for a given observer
Installation
Use pip to install latest release available at PyPI:
pip install pyaavso
Usage
The following code uses VisualFormatWriter to report a single observation of SS Cyg between the outbursts.
>>> from pyaavso.formats import VisualFormatWriter >>> observer_code = 'XYZ' >>> with open('data.txt', 'wb') as fp: ... writer = VisualFormatWriter(fp, observer_code) ... writer.writerow({ ... 'name': 'SS CYG', ... 'date': '2450702.1234', ... 'magnitude': '<11.0', ... 'comp1': '110', ... 'chart': '070613', ... })
The data.txt file can be now submitted to AAVSO.
