missing directory and files after installing with "pip install astronomy-engine"

Open francis-dalaudier opened this issue 7 months ago • 1 comments

Hello, I use a MacBook with MacOS 10.13.6 and Python Python 3.12.0 I installed astronomy-engine through pip (see title) I looked, downloaded (in a local directory) . and tried various demo scripts at https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy/blob/master/demo/python/ I could then write my own python program and run it with success (thanks !!)

The issue is with stars_near_moon.py the line with open('../../generate/hyg_v36_1.csv') as starfile: gives an error since there is no "generate" directory and no "hyg_v36_1.csv file"

I searched in various places with no success. I then downloaded https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy/blob/master/generate/run and run it. the result is shown below: `€ ./run

Local file not found: lnxp1600p2200.405 Attempting download from: https://github.com/cosinekitty/ephemeris/raw/master/lnxp1600p2200.405

the line with open('../../generate/hyg_v36_1.csv') as starfile: seems to assumes some current working directory. How can this work ?

I found an issue entitled " Rewrite entire build process in Python #295 " is my question related ?

with my best regards
