        MoonDB is a NASA-funded quality-controlled data system that will preserve, digitize and curate lunar geochemical and petrological data and their associated sample metadata and analytical metadata.
        
        __Pymoondb__ is a python module which creates an interface to the Application Program Interface made available by the MoonDB project.
        
        The python module is being developed at [IAPS/INAF](http://www.iaps.inaf.it) in Rome, Italy.  The MoonDB database is being developed and maintaned by the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory's Geoinformatics Research Group of Columbia University, New York.
        
        # Installation
        
        Step 1: clone the repository:
        
        ```
        git clone https://www.ict.inaf.it/gitlab/alessandro.frigeri/pymoondb.git
        ```
        
        Step 2: install the software; within the directory where setup.py is placed, type:
        
        ```
        pip install -e .
        ```
        
        To use moondb module, fire up your python interpreter and simply do:
        
            >>> import moondb
            >>> s_12023 = moondb.get_specimens(sc=['12023'])[0]
            >>> print( type(s_12023) )
            <class 'moondb.core.Specimen'>
            >>> ", ".join( (s_12023.mission,s_12023.landmark,s_12023.specimenType) )
