| Abstract: |
We introduce two products for accessing the VO from Python: PyVO and VOClient. PyVO is built on the widely-used Astropy package and is well suited for integrating automated access to astronomical data into highly customizable scripts and applications for data analysis in
Python. VOClient is built on a collection of C-libraries and is well
suited for integrating with multi-language analysis packages. It also
provides a framework for integrating legacy software into the Python
environment. In this demo, we will run through several examples
demonstrate basic data discovery and retrieval of data. This includes finding archives containing data of interest (VO registry), retrieving
datasets (SIA, SSA), and exploring (Cone Search, SLAP).
VOClient features some extended capabilities including the ability to
communicate to other desktop applications from a script using the SAMP protocol. |
