Return to Question

I found the python package HorizonJPL in the Python Package Index, but it looks like it's limited to activity in 2013. When I go to the linked documentation page https://docs.google.com/document/d/1g9q3ln9LVAATOZ15986HLTCaqcAj_Jd8e_jOGS3YWrE/pub the info is fairly sparse, and the two links there lead to a dead end in Japanese (below).

Is there a way I can access JPL Horizons for tables of data (Like I am doing here) from within a Python script? In other words, I want to build a url query and receive a json of text with state vectors in return using urllib or urllib2.

Update: This is a typical example of what I want to do:

This is what is displayed on the pypi site - there seems to be names/handles but I don't know how to query them.
