Fix `from_nexsci` method in `nexsci` extension #299

Closed christinahedges closed 3 years ago

christinahedges commented 3 years ago

297 shows that the `from_nexsci` method is failing. The method previously used pandas to download files from NExSci, but this is a bit janky and doesn't cache the files. This PR uses `astropy`'s caching feature to store the data in a `~/.starry` directory, which should be more robust.

I'm skipping the tests for the nexsci extension for Python 3.7.9 or lower. We find this error when we run the test: ssl.SSLError: [SSL: KRB5_S_TKT_NYV] unexpected eof while reading (_ssl.c:2570)

Which seems to be due to an issue with openssl. Because this isn't an issue with starry or astropy I don't see a clear way forward for us to fix it, and so this test is getting skipped. If users encounter this error, they may try updating their openssl version, which should fix this issue.
