First version of the library meant for public use. This library calculates geodesics using an arbitrary space-time metric and the equations of General Relativity. The 4-acceleration is first calculated symbolically with sympy and then used to calculate numerically the 4-velocity and 4-position of a body using the IVP solver from scipy.

This version includes 3 examples which can easily be modified to simulate many different trajectories. More specifically, there is an example for the Schwarzchild metric, the Lemaitre metric and the Kerr metric.
