How to compute sunset and dawn times with python?

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Since it seems no-one has responded, I put together a quicky module
showing a way to do this.  The code is taken from a US Gov't (SRRB)
web-site, but it's billed as "low accuracy", so don't take it as gospel
(it's off by a minute in 2 of the 6 test dates I tried against the
online (accurate) one).

This web-site has a javascript implementation of certain of the
functions that are used in the online version someone who wanted could
translate those.

The Python module is available here:
