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 what, no compiled Matlab mixed with labview vis a custom C++ dll written by a masters student who has long since disappeared into industry?

Are you even trying to write obtuse academic code or are you just focused on getting some science done, smh

@dotjayne hahaha I have yet to incorporate former students' code into this mess, but I'm sure it'll happen at some point
