Comment 4 for bug 1012797

A skeleton sunpy download script.

I've split the data acquisition script down to a very atomic level, basically trying to reproduce how people select features and events in helioviewer.org. This might get tedious if there are a lot of choices.

# SunPy data download script
# helioviewer_data_script_AIA_EIT_LASCO-C2_20120716_120354__20120716_140354.py
#
#
# (1) Helioviewer provenance information
# --------------------------------------
#
# Automatically generated by helioviewer.org on 2012/11/28 12:34:56 UT.
# This script uses the Virtual Solar Observatory (VSO; www.virtualsolar.org)
# and the Heliophysics Event Knowledgebase (HEK; www.lmsal.com/hek)
# service to access to the science data used to generate
# the helioviewer.org movie http://www.helioviewer.org/?movieid=ApdT15
#
#
# (2) The SunPy environment and commands used to find and acquire data
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# This script requires an up-to-date installation of SunPy. To install
# SunPy, please follow the instructions at www.sunpy.org.
#
# This script is provided AS-IS. NOTE: It may require editing for it to
# work on your local system. Also, many of the commands included here
# have more sophisticated options that can be used to optimize your ability
# to acquire the relevant data. Please consult the relevant documentation
# for further information.
#
# IMPORTANT NOTE
# These scripts query the VSO for the records they have access to. Data
# relevant to your request may be available elsewhere. Likewise, the HEK
# provides only the feature and event information they have access to.
# Other features and events relevant to your request may be available
# elsewhere.
