Using Python in (Occultation) Astronomy
JOA 2020, Vol. 10, No. 3, Page 13 Author(s): Mike KretlowAbstract: Python is one of the most popular programming languages and is a great tool for scientific computing. Thus, it is well suited for almost any kind of astronomical applications. In the last few years many large packages for astronomical and astrophysical work have been developed or have matured, in many cases actively maintained by professional institutions. A first, brief introduction into Python is given here and the use of Python for occultation work is demonstrated in practical examples.
