CIAO is distributed with some (not very well known) Python libraries that make interacting with Chandra files and coordinates easier. They access the same underlying implementation as the CIAO tools, but are easier to handle and a more robust way to get information out of Chandra files instead of calling CIAO tools like dmcoords, which essentially start a run in a subshell.

Note that this PR is build on top of #10 because I needed at least one Chandr test to pass to see that it works.

Here are references to the Python libraries shipped with CIAO that I'm using:
