        **pyaavso** is a Python library for working with
        `AAVSO <http://www.aavso.org>`_ (American Association of Variable Star
        Observers) data. The library is compatible with both Python 2.7 and 3.3+.
        
        Features
        --------
        
        * reading and writing variable star observations in AAVSO's
          `Visual File Format`_
        * downloading all observation data for a given observer
        
        .. _`Visual File Format`: http://www.aavso.org/aavso-visual-file-format
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Use ``pip`` to install latest release available at PyPI::
        
            pip install pyaavso
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        The following code uses ``VisualFormatWriter`` to report a single
        observation of **SS Cyg** between the outbursts.
        
            >>> from pyaavso.formats import VisualFormatWriter
            >>> observer_code = 'XYZ'
            >>> with open('data.txt', 'wb') as fp:
            ...     writer = VisualFormatWriter(fp, observer_code)
            ...     writer.writerow({
            ...         'name': 'SS CYG',
            ...         'date': '2450702.1234',
            ...         'magnitude': '<11.0',
            ...         'comp1': '110',
            ...         'chart': '070613',
            ...     })
        
        The ``data.txt`` file can be now submitted to AAVSO.
