Dear All, my python pyswisseph package version is 2.10.3, I try to use this package to calculate the position of planetary moons. I download the ephemeris form dropbox.

when I run the follow lines: ################################ swe.set_ephe_path('/Users/mac/sweph/ephe') cjd = swe.julday(2023, 1, 1, 0.0) flags = swe.FLG_EQUATORIAL | swe.FLG_SWIEPH | swe.FLG_SPEED plm = swe.calc_ut(cjd, swe.PLMOON_OFFSET+501, flags) ################################

the error is :"Error: swisseph.calc_ut: SwissEph file 'sepm9501.se1' not found in PATH '/Users/mac/sweph/ephe/'" in the dropbox folder 'ephe', I think there are 'semo_18.se1' file shoul be used in the case. I can not find like 'sepm9501.se1' files in the dropbox.

could you kindly to tell me, what kind of problems in my case. did I use the wrong sentence ? or set a wrong path? or other things?

Thanks a lot!

According to documentation, those files must be found in the subfolder ast.

Now that they fixed their messy dropbox, we can close. Thank you.
