Oroboros
Oroboros is an open source astrology software written in
Python.
It is based on the Swiss Ephemeris (pyswisseph) for planetary
calculations, the Olson timezone database (pytz)
for date and time resolution, the GeoNames.org atlas database, and the
Qt4 toolkit (PyQt4) for the graphical user interface.
The software also uses reStructured Text for charts comments,
and the lightweight Source Control Management system,
Mercurial,
as a mirroring system for chart directories.
Oroboros uses a flexible configuration system with a large
panel of planets and aspects, midpoints, heliocentric and topocentric
charts.
