Usage
The following code uses VisualFormatWriter to report a single
observation of SS Cyg between the outbursts.

>>> from pyaavso.formats import VisualFormatWriter
>>> observer_code = 'XYZ'
>>> with open('data.txt', 'wb') as fp:
... writer = VisualFormatWriter(fp, observer_code)
... writer.writerow({
... 'name': 'SS CYG',
... 'date': '2450702.1234',
... 'magnitude': '<11.0',
... 'comp1': '110',
... 'chart': '070613',
... })


The data.txt file can be now submitted to AAVSO.
