Hi Pierre,

I should note that you are looking at the page for the "stable" version of AstroPy, which is 5.3.1, whereas you are using a very old version of AstroPy, for which the docs are here:

https://docs.astropy.org/en/v2.0.16/coordinates/index.html#module-astropy.coordinates
Based on my casual look, this method is not in this old version. If you can, I highly recommend upgrading to the latest version, which also necessitates upgrading to Python 3. 

Best,

John
