Feature request: pyvo.dal.tap.TAPService.examples

[trjaffe]

Just as a TAP service can be asked for its tables by simply asking for the "tables" method/attribute, it would be useful to have the same for "examples". Again, it's just appending "/examples" on the URL. In some case, obviously, the result will be None.

(You can assign it to me, since I think it's easy and harmless.)

Sound like a great idea. Two thoughts:

• Using the astropy xml handling, altough i dont think this is necessary yet. Shouldn't introduce additional dependecies.
• examples...execute() method.

[trjaffe]

It should probably just use astropy.io.votable.parse.

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this

• examples...execute() method.

[funbaker]

A method to execute the example right away.

Oh, I see. I was just going to return a list of strings, but it could be a list of TAPQuerys.
