Rename project.

[rca]

@drbitboy suggested a better name to avoid conflict with another PySPICE -- python-based tools for the SPICE circuit software -- would be Spyce.

Thoughts? If we do go through with this idea, it might make sense to move over to an organization of that name and make this project an entity of its own.

Thoughts?

Spyce is taken as well: http://spyce.sourceforge.net/

As the IDL interface of SPICE is called Icy, we could go with Spycy ?

spycy sounds fun. :)

this may solve the windows issue:

#!/usr/bin/env python

import os
import sys
from urllib import urlopen
from zipfile import ZipFile
from StringIO import StringIO

cspicezip="
ftp://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/toolkit/C/PC_Windows_VisualC_32bit/packages/cspice.zip
"

sys.stdout.write( "### Downloading %s this may take a while ..." %
(cspicezip,) )
sys.stdout.flush()

zipfile = ZipFile(StringIO(urlopen(cspicezip).read()))

sys.stdout.write( " download complete; extracting files from cspice/ ..." )
sys.stdout.flush()

for info in zipfile.infolist():
if os.path.dirname(info.filename)[:7]=='cspice/':
zipfile.extract(info.filename)

print( " extracting complete" )

I'll need to add some exception handling but I expect most modern
systems will read the 24-26MB zip file into the StringIO instance with
no problem.
