Swetest

This is a simple Python wrapper for the high precision swisseph application swetest. Swetest computes a complete set of geocentric planetary positions, for a given date or a sequence of dates. It can be used from the commandline, or loaded from a class.

Installation

The project can be installed using pip:

pip install swetest

Or when you want to use the setuup command to install the project and its dependencies, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install

Usage

The project can be used for both from the commandline and loaded from a class.

When used on the command line simply do:

python -m swetest --query="-p1 -d0 -b1.12.1900 -n10 -fPTl -head"

When loading the class in your project, first import module:

    from swetest import Swetest

Then you can directly query and execute swetest load the class and execute the query:

    swetest = Swetest()
    swetest.query('-p1 -d0 -b1.12.1900 -n10 -fPTl -head')->execute();
    print(swetest.get_output())

    Another option is to pass a list object(note: do not add - to the flags"):

        the_query = [
            'p1',
            'd0',
            'b1.12.1900',
            'n10',
            'fPTl',
            'head'
        ]

        swetest.query(the_query)->execute();
        print(swetest.get_output())

Which in both cases result in:
