PyEphem 3.7.3.4 introduces satellite rising and setting

Written for PyEphem by Brandon Rhodes on 2009-05-01

Finally, the feature so many users have requested: PyEphem can now determine when an Earth satellite will rise, culminate, and set. The standard rising and setting routines now politely refuse to handle satellites, since they are likely to produce wrong answers, and a new next_pass() routine is available on Observer objects that determines when a given satellite will next cross the sky.

Also, a new function is available to automatically adjust atmospheric pressure depending on the altitude of an Observer, producing more accurate refraction near the horizon. Read the changelog for more information, and download 3.7.3.4 now!
