+PyEphem provides astronomical computations for the Python programming
+language. Given a date and location on the Earth's surface, it can
+compute the positions of the Sun and Moon, of the planets and their
+moons, and of any asteroids, comets, or earth satellites whose orbital
+elements the user can provide. Additional functions are provided to
+compute the angular separation between two objects in the sky, to
+determine the constellation in which an object lies, and to find the
+times at which an object rises, transits, and sets on a particular day.
