      Can anyone tell me how to get Pythonista to run the pyephem module from pypi? I believe I have successfully installed Pipista, as the pypi-modules folder is there, but I haven't figured out how to go from there.

        Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but the PyEphem PyPI page states:
        "<i>The underlying numeric routines are coded in C</i>".

        PyEphem is not a "pure Python" package but is instead built on the C library called astrolib. This means that it would be a good deal of effort to get it working with Pythonista. The Pipista tool can only deal with pure Python packages. There are great astrology apps for the iPad but PyEphem would be difficult to port.
