@echedey-ls thanks for taking the initiative! That issue is 7 years old and the pvlib documentation has changed a lot since then. I am not sure that 1:1 ports into...

Thanks @bmeyers! I think `requests` is already pulled into our test environments for another package. It's probably ok to make it an explicit requirement. The tmy module calls on urllib...

The resampling part of `standardize_time_axis` could be useful in more situations, but I don't know if it should be applied by default. What's the advantage of the `set_index` part of...

I started using OrderedDict because I wanted my plots to consistently use the same colors when iterating over dictionaries returned by pvlib. And I thought "well DataFrames have ordered columns...

Apparently I added this function 9 years ago during a large refactor, perhaps in an aborted effort at DRY code, but never used it. Tests were hardly a thing at...
