Thanks, but I'm quite familiar with it. My copy is some 10-15 years old. 
  I suspect he never wrote a newer edition for any computer language. I 
do have access to a C++ library, but I don't think that's going to do me 
much good with Python.

My problem at the moment is finding either someone who has implemented 
it or another similar module.

Note I posted just before you that I have found a siderial.py module, 
but am not familiar with how one installs them or the doc mechanism.
