        the paper or send a pull request including your paper in the list of
        galpy papers on `this page

        DOCUMENTATION
        --------------
        
        The latest documentation can be found `here <http://galpy.readthedocs.org/en/latest/>`__. An alternative that is kept up-to-date less frequently is `here <http://jobovy.github.com/galpy>`__.
        
        PYTHON VERSIONS AND DEPENDENCIES
        ---------------------------------
        
        ``galpy`` supports both Python 2 and 3. Specifically, galpy supports
        Python 2.7 and Python 3.3 and 3.4. It may also work on earlier Python
        3.* versions, but this has not been tested. Travis CI builds regularly
        check support for Python 2.7 and 3.4.
        
        This package requires `Numpy <http://numpy.scipy.org/>`__, `Scipy
        <http://www.scipy.org/>`__, and `Matplotlib
        <http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/>`__. Certain advanced features
        require the GNU Scientific Library (`GSL
        <http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/>`__), with action calculations
        requiring version 1.14 or higher. Use of ``SnapshotRZPotential`` and
        ``InterpSnapshotRZPotential`` requires `pynbody
        <https://github.com/pynbody/pynbody>`__.
        
        ISSUES
        -------
        
        If you find *any* bug in the code, please report these using the `Issue Tracker <http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/issues>`__ or by emailing the maintainer of the code.
        
        CONTRIBUTING TO GALPY
        ----------------------
        
        Some development notes can be found on the `wiki
        <http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/>`__. This includes a list of
        small and larger extensions of galpy that would be useful `here
        <http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/Possible-galpy-extensions>`__ as
        well as a longer-term roadmap `here
        <http://github.com/jobovy/galpy/wiki/Roadmap>`__. Please let the main
        developer know if you need any help contributing!
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        
        DISK DF CORRECTIONS
        --------------------
        
        The dehnendf and shudf disk distribution functions can be corrected to
        follow the desired surface-mass density and radial-velocity-dispersion
        profiles more closely (see `1999AJ....118.1201D
        <http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999AJ....118.1201D>`__). Calculating
        these corrections is expensive, and a large set of precalculated
        corrections can be found `here
        <http://github.com/downloads/jobovy/galpy/galpy-dfcorrections.tar.gz>`__
        \[tar.gz archive\]. Install these by downloading them and unpacking them into the galpy/df_src/data directory before running the setup.py installation. E.g.::
        
           curl -O https://cloud.github.com/downloads/jobovy/galpy/galpy-dfcorrections.tar.gz
           tar xvzf galpy-dfcorrections.tar.gz -C ./galpy/df_src/data/
