[AstroPy] Ecliptic coordinates in astropy.coordinates?

[Erik Tollerud]

To add a bit more: there is a soon-to-come proposal for a change in
coordinates (an APE + an API proposal) that will hopefully make
implementing new coordinate transforms quite a bit easier.

Once that goes through, the next step is to actually implement the
important missing coordinate systems, and ecliptic is certainly among
them.

In the meantime, if you want a pure-python solution, astropysics
(http://pythonhosted.org/Astropysics/) and Kapteyn
(http://www.astro.rug.nl/software/kapteyn/)
