It is not in the repository (at least in mine in debian unstable.)
Here is how you find such things out:

$ apt-cache search astm
python-django-model-utils - Django model mixins and utilities
python3-django-model-utils - Django model mixins and utilities
libcache-fastmmap-perl - Perl module providing a mmap'ed cache
libcatalyst-plugin-cache-store-fastmmap-perl - (deprecated) FastMmap cache store plugin for Catalyst::Plugin::Cache
libcatalyst-plugin-session-store-fastmmap-perl - Catalyst session storage plugin backed by Cache::FastMMap
libcgi-application-plugin-tt-perl - plugin that adds Template Toolkit support to CGI::Application
r-cran-fastmatch - GNU R package for fast match replacement for repeated look-ups

So, lots of packages have the string 'astm' in their names, and none
of them are the one we are looking for.

Did you find
http://python-astm.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

It's not much in the way of documentation, but a bit better than 
nothing.

There are people recommending python-astm here.
http://www.limsforum.com/  (just search for ASTM and you will get many
hits).  I didn't find any tutorials, though.

I did find this, https://github.com/mpasternak/cobas-scraper
which in no way is what you were looking for, but I thought, hmm, he
might want one of these as well.
