Hi fellow Pythoneers,

I put the relevant files from our meeting as a git repository into:
/afs/mpe/home/hartl/git/slapy
(I renamed module and function names for simplification. Oh, and there seems to be a different module named SLApy already.)

The SLALIB library I used is part of the Starlink project, cf.:
http://starlink.eao.hawaii.edu/starlink/Releases

BTW: aside from the f2py Philipp mentioned and Python extensions there seems to be another alternative based on SWIG, see e.g.:
http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~rgm/dazle/software/dics/src/slalib.html
In case anybody knows what's that about, maybe s/he could tell us in an upcoming meeting?

Cheers,
Mike
