Module headers should contain some useful hints what is in the module. Remove created timestamp and @author.

implement pre-commit (automatic black formatting etc.)

should strip whitespaces from col names:

    df = df.select(
        pl.all().name.map(lambda col_name: col_name.replace(' ', ''))
    )

I want to be able to read a string directly into a FFI1001 instance.

sometimes, lines contain more fields than allowed (specified by header) - remove those fields.

nasa ames reader should only accept 'ascii' if keyword ensure_ascii is set to true. otherwise, it should try common encodings; ascii -> utf8 -> cp1252 before raising an error

use sphinx docs instead of the long readme?

• revise what is actually in use
• move obsolete code to sub-module "legacy"
• make sure used functionality is sufficiently tested

• use today as default date in NA 1001 RDATE

version on readthedocs is totally outdated

pyV25 should be re-introduced here, makes not much sense in a separate repo.

• sometimes, only the header is needed

numba always has been kind of a blocker when it comes to adopting new Python versions. At the moment (2023-04-16), Python 3.11 is still not supported.

An option could be to rewrite some functions in Rust, then include them via pyo3 / maturin. That would be a general solution to handle functions that suffer from poor performance in vanilla Python.

The downside is, that this

• adds other dependencies
• probably a bit slow than the jit-compiled version
• additional coding to do

tzinfo is always replaced with default or specified tz...
