astrool is an open source pure Python package dedicated to problems arising in life of

day to day Astronomy, such as orbit propagation, night sky plotting,

analemma plotting, conversion between position and velocity vectors and classical

orbital elements and orbit plotting.

It is released under the MIT license.

FAQ

===

What's up with the name?

------------------------

astrool is made up of astro + tools. So basically, we are trying to come up with an aggregated software.

What's the future of the project?

---------------------------------

astrool is a very new project and we aim to develop it further so that it can become one

package for all in basic astronomy.
