Note
The network functionality in the conesearch, ssa and image modules is experimental and subject to change.
vo.conesearch is a Python package to make performing VO cone searches on popular catalogs simple.
This package uses the VO conesearch protocol (v1.03).
Some examples of simple usage follow:
import vo.conesearch as vcone
tab = vcone.conesearch('USNO-A2', ra=10.2, dec=65.4, sr=0.1)
will return a vo.tree.VOTableFile object containing the contents of the returned list of stars found in the USNO-A2 catalog.
