Or, if you wish to use the standard python PEP249 api for your JET data
(thus making your program portable), you get a copy of

If you tried this in the last two weeks (version 2.3.0), and got a dismal
failure, its because I messed up the latest distribution .zip file. That was
corrected on Friday.
