WMM2015 geomagnetic model with simple object-oriented Python interface

Description

WMM2015 World Magnetic Model...in simple, object-oriented Python. WMM2015 is a Python wrapper for the World Magnetic Model 2015, providing a simple interface to compute geomagnetic field components (north, east, down, total intensity, declination, and inclination) at specified geographic coordinates and altitudes. The package uses a build-on-run technique, compiling the C library on first use. Tested on Linux, Mac and Windows. Most C compilers work.
