I found the original pytxtelite (written by Ian Sparks) at http://automaticromantic.com/static/misc/pytxtelite.txt. You can find a copy of the original script in the "pytxtelite" folder.
pytxtelite is a conversion of Ian Bell's txtelite.c 1.2 (and parts of 1.4) to Python (2.5, maybe earlier).
As I was interested in planet names only, I removed everything else. This script contains the minimum for generating planet names.
It also has a simple command-line interface for printing planet names (n) and for jumping to the next galaxy (j).
I made a simple wrapper script too called elite.py. If you want to get
the name of a random planet, use elite.py.
Print the planet names in Galaxy 1:
import pyplanets
galaxy = pyplanets.Galaxy()
print(galaxy.planets)
Print the name of a random planet:
import random
...
print(random.choice(galaxy.planets))
