The SpiceyPy is a Python wrapper for the SPICE Toolkit. This package has been used in the planetary sciences community since 2016, and we are proud to have it listed as a PlanetaryPy Affiliated Package.

The pvl package is a Python implementation of a PVL (Parameter Value Language) parser and encoder. An older version of this package has been existant under the planetarypy GitHub org since 2015, but this version is not only modernized, it is also the first official PlanetaryPy Affiliated Package under the modern PlanetaryPy Project!

This marks the day that the initial commit was made to the Tecnical Committee (TC) repository within the planetarypy GitHub org. Although individuals had been working for some time prior to this to conceive of a modern PlanetaryPy Project that mirrored the Astropy Project, this commit is when that work got a little more concrete.
