Maybe there's an interpolation operator?
There's nothing built in, but see the bisect module. It is a good way
to determine which interval you are in, and you can interpolate the
points yourself.

I'll take a look. I just posted above yours with a more insightful set of
data than the first three pointer. Yes, some way of bisecting, or chopping
is the trick here. One is just trying to fill in all the gaps with
interpolation and produce 360 points to feed to the telescope software. It's
sort of like giving someone, and forgetting interpolation here, the sequence
20, 30, blank, 60, 70, 80 and asking for the two missing tens between 30 and
60. 40 and 50, of course.
The fellow above wrote an interpolate function that will probably fit the bill.
