README

        
This is 'solartime', a Python module which calculates times for various positions of the sun:

dawn, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and dusk.

'solartime' is a vastly-simplified fork of Simon Kennedy's 'astral' module, and is Free / Libre

Open Source software under the Apache 2.0 license.

Its only dependency is the `pytz` package, and Python 2.6, 2.7, 3.3+.

Example usage:

    >>> from datetime import date

    >>> from pytz import timezone

    >>> from solartime import SolarTime

    >>>

    >>> today = date(2014, 4, 20)

    >>> localtz = timezone('US/Eastern')

    >>> lat, lon = 38.0, -79.0

    >>>

    >>> sun = SolarTime()

    >>> schedule = sun.sun_utc(today, lat, lon)

    >>> sunset = schedule['sunset'].astimezone(localtz)

    >>> print sunset
