PyEphem releases 3.7.3.1

I have just released version 3.7.3.1 of PyEphem, which fixes the problem that some users were reporting in which the functions to find the previous rising or next setting of a body were hanging instead of ever returning an answer. The problem was that my Newton's Method function was insisting on too precise an answer; now, by returning when it gets within a half-second of the solution, it should avoid getting stuck on tiny irregularities in the smoothness of the planetary position functions.
