pykep is a scientific library providing basic tools for astrodynamics research. Algorithmic efficiency is
a main focus of the library, which is written in C++ and exposed to Python using the boost::python library. At the library core
is the implementation of an efficient solver for the multiple revolutions Lambert's problem, objects representing 
direct (Sims-Flanagan), indirect (Pontryagin) and hybrid methods to represent low-thrust optimization problems
, efficient keplerian propagators, Taylor-integrators, a SGP4 propagator, TLE and SATCAT support and more.
