Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

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
