PyVO recently got a great push and is now developed under the hood of the famous @astropy project. The idea of the @IVOAastro Virtual Observatory is to acess all data through a standartized interface. ivoa.net/astronomers/index.h… -- And it is in Debian, ofcourse!
Today's random code is PyVO: Python access to the Virtual Observatory ascl.net/1402.004
