This basically does the same thing as
python-casjobs <https://github.com/cosmonaut/python-casjobs>
_ but it only
depends on Requests <http://python-requests.org>
_ which makes it more useful
in my opinion.
Install it:
::
pip install casjobs
Here's how you might get the fields in Stripe 82 that hit the Pisces overdensity:
::
import casjobs
query = """SELECT *
INTO mydb.pisces2
FROM Stripe82..Field AS p
WHERE p.mjd_g > 0 AND p.ramin < 355 AND p.ramax > 355
"""
jobs = CasJobs()
job_id = jobs.submit(query)
status = jobs.monitor(job_id)
print status
