This week was mainly spent in refactoring the astroquery.irsa_dust module. A detailed discussion of the entire implementation can be found at this pull-request. And as it currently stands most of the API for this is almost finalized except for some tweaks that may come up in the final review.
Apart from this the order in which the remaining modules of astroquery will be refactored may be found here.
Some other things that were also tackled this week were to monkeypatch the remote tests that most commonly resulted in network errors/ timeouts. Again more details here.
Currently SIMBAD is on the top of our to-do list. So I have been trying to familiarize myself with this web service and also made some preliminary attempts at re-writing the code, coherent with the finalized API.
P.S. Anyone with an Astronomical incline, could probably fork the revised irsa_dust module , use it and give feedback!
