+"""
+Planetary position calculations for libephemeris.
+
+This is the core module providing Swiss Ephemeris-compatible planet calculations
+using NASA JPL DE421 ephemeris via Skyfield.
+
+Supported Bodies:
+- Classical planets: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
+- Earth position
+- Lunar nodes (Mean/True) via lunar.py
+- Lilith/Lunar apogee (Mean/True) via lunar.py
+- Minor bodies (asteroids, TNOs) via minor_bodies.py
+- Fixed stars via fixed_stars.py
+- Astrological angles via angles.py
+- Arabic parts via arabic_parts.py
+
+Main Functions:
+- swe_calc_ut(): Calculate positions in Universal Time
+- swe_calc(): Calculate positions in Ephemeris Time
+- swe_set_sid_mode(): Set sidereal zodiac mode
+- swe_get_ayanamsa_ut(): Get ayanamsha value
+
+Coordinate Systems:
+- Geocentric tropical (default)
+- Heliocentric (with SEFLG_HELCTR)
+- Topocentric (requires swe_set_topo)
+- Sidereal (requires swe_set_sid_mode)
+
+FIXME: Precision - Frame conversions
+- Uses Skyfield's ICRS -> ecliptic conversion
+- Assumes J2000.0 ecliptic for speed (performance optimization)
+- True date obliquity would add ~0.01" precision but 2x slower
+- Swiss Ephemeris uses full precession/nutation for each date
+
+References:
+- JPL DE421 ephemeris (accurate to ~0.001 arcsecond for modern dates)
+- Skyfield coordinate transformations
+- Swiss Ephemeris API compatibility layer
