Does pyorbital no longer calculate moon phase?

[conkline]

Iʻm looking for a quick and simple way to calculate moon phase on a given date, and wanted to follow this tutorial: https://pyorbital.readthedocs.io/en/feature-moon-phase/moon_calculations.html

I installed pyorbital successfully, but get a <AttributeError: module 'pyorbital' has no attribute 'moon_phase'> error. Looking through the code, I was unable to find this module, unless Iʻm missing something.

Is moon_phase no longer an included module?

@adybbroe Any insight ?

Is it in this branch and never got merged? https://github.com/pytroll/pyorbital/tree/feature-moon-phase

Ah, looks like it! Thank you!

Is it possible for this branch to be merged? The work in it seems to work well.

I create #96 from this branch, but it will take a lot of work to get it ready for merging. If anyone (@adybbroe @PythonCreator27 @conkline ) are interested in tackling this challenge, let us know here.
