PyEphem releases 3.7.3.2

Written for PyEphem by Brandon Rhodes on 2008-07-02

Following our important bugfix release yesterday, that prevents the rising and setting functions from hanging, a user reported that the improved code now failed in a new situation: when the same rising or setting function was called repeatedly to compute successive risings or settings, it often got stuck returning the same one over and over again. Thus, another new version of PyEphem is now available, version 3.7.3.2, in which both of these problems are corrected.

And of course, since "untested code is broken code" as Martin Aspeli and Philipp von Weitershausen have taught us, both of these recent failures are covered by new PyEphem test cases — which will prevent them from ever recurring, at least in their current form!
