PySpace2 0.4.1

Python package for astronomical calculations

PySpace2

Description

PySpace2 is a Python library that allows for advanced astronomical calculations, simulations, and data analysis related to outer space. The project aims to simplify operations on celestial bodies, their movements, and the dynamics of planetary systems.

Features

• Calculating the real and theorical Earth speed
• Plotting the Solar System Barycentre with relation to Sun
• Analyze when you can take photo of Venus
• Create Planets' map with Equator Coordinates System

System Requirements

• Python 3.9+
• Supported operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux

Installation

To install the PySpace2 package, use the pip package manager:

pip install PySpace2

If you are installing the package from the repository, ensure you have the latest version of pip, and then install it locally:

Documentation Website

PySpace2 uses MkDocs to generate documentation. If you want to generate it locally, follow these steps:

1. Move to the root directory of the PySpace2 project where the requirements folder is located:

2. Install MkDocs and required plugins

pip install -r requirements/docs.txt

3. Serve the documentation locally

mkdocs serve

This will start a local server, and the documentation can be viewed in your browser at http://127.0.0.1:8000.

4. Build the documentation (optional)

If you want to generate a static HTML version of the documentation, you can run:

mkdocs build

This will create a site/ directory with all the HTML files needed to host the documentation.
