Time to run my horrifying python code that builds a bash script that I use to repeatedly call some fortran code and make output I pull back into python for calculating telescope pointings.

My deepest apologies to everyone here who actually has training in making good software. I'm doing science!

(And no, I'm not looking for advice. Hilariously, this dumpster fire of code works well enough, and I don't need to improve it right now.)

@sundogplanets No problem detected here. Sometimes it doesn't need to be seamlessly engineered, it just has to work "enough"!

Thinking of some prototyping I did where C++ code run in parallel on our cluster made an occasional system() call to ssh, to run an ML Python script on the one machine that had a big GPU 😅 It didn't generate Fortran, admittedly, but I'm sure I've some of that lying around, too! #science
