Apart from the fact that pyephem seems to give incorrect results at the moment I think the docs and / or API for coordinate transformations could be improved a bit.
I've made tickets on bitbucket to discuss this because I presume you want to turn off launchpad at some point (there's no link to it any more from the docs)
I've made a new question here:
http:// stackoverflow. com/questions/ 11169523/ how-to- compute- alt-az- for-given- galactic- coordinate- glon-glat- with-pyephem
There are similar questions already for (ra, dec) <-> (alt, az) instead of (glon, glat) <-> (alt, az):
