Abstract: |
PyVO is an Astropy-affiliated package providing an API for the access
and retrieval of astronomical datasets from the Virtual Observatory (VO)
using various VO Data Access Layer Protocols. This paper reports on
the recent addition of support for the Table Access Protocol (TAP) in
PyVO. Methods for synchronous and asynchronous queries are provided,
including support for uploading tables. Both local and remote tables
are supported, which enables interesting patterns of chaining queries to
various services. PyVO's TAP support also
allows inspection of the service metadata. Thanks to Astropy
integration, it is straightforward to work with the obtained results and
re-use them either in further VO queries or in custom Python code. |
