pyphoon is a Python command-line tool that renders the current phase of the Moon as ASCII art, based on Jef Poskanzer's 1979 Pascal original. It supports localization, configurable moon size, date input, and hemisphere-aware rendering.
Use cases
- show the moon phase in my terminal
- display ascii art of the moon for a given date
- add a moon phase widget to my shell prompt or motd
- see the moon as it appears from the southern hemisphere
- get time until the next lunar phase from the command line
When to choose
- you want a lightweight, fun terminal utility showing the lunar phase
- you need localized output or hemisphere-correct moon rendering
- you want to embed moon phase art in scripts, motds, or status bars
When to avoid
- you need precise astronomical ephemeris data or calculations
- you want graphical or photographic moon imagery
- you need a library API rather than a CLI display tool
