Since `pyvo` already supports doing a VO standard cone search, this may mostly be an exercise in clearly documenting the alternative approach in the `vo_conesearch` documentation, then deprecating `vo_conesearch`. I...

My sense is that `fitsheader` is not the best place for custom adjustments to the keyword values. If the goal is to avoid getting into the python scripting, then shell...

I'm very comfortable with the proposed text of the warning (`pyvo.discover's API is still under design in pyVO 1.6 and may change without prior notice. Feedback to the authors is...

@gilleslandais Where this sort of functionality belongs is an interesting question. - As @bsipocz said, the fundamental VOTable parsing (and writing) happens in astropy core (`astropy.io.votable`). - The `pyvo` package...

Renewing this effort... The goal: We would like to deprecate then remove`astropy.samp` from astropy in favor of `SAMP` capabilities in `pyvo`. Note that [pyvo/samp](pyvo/samp.py) depends on `astropy.samp`, so that reference...

Most Python applications end up with a stack of dependencies on 3rd-party packages, each of which is capable of upsetting the top-level application with a new release. This house of...
