[submitted] pympc

pympc performs checks for the presence of minor and major Solar System bodies at specified coordinates. Orbital elements from the Minor Planet Center are used to propagate orbits to determine the position of asteroids, comets, NEOS, planets and major moons at the request epoch. Topocentric corrections are included to allow for observatory-specific positions. The requested position can also be checked for being within the Hill Sphere (in projection) of any Solar System planet.
