[submitted] Python “sgp4” module that offers official SGP4 C++ library

The “sgp4” module is a Python wrapper around the C++ version of the standard SGP4 algorithm for propagating Earth satellite positions from the element sets published by organizations like SpaceTrak and Celestrak. The code is the most recent version, including all of the corrections and bug fixes described in the paper _Revisiting Spacetrack Report #3_ (AIAA 2006-6753) by Vallado, Crawford, Hujsak, and Kelso. The test suite verifies that the Python wrapper returns exactly the coordinates specified in the C++ test cases.
