Use sphinx with astropy _templates (it would be great to make pcigale an
affilated package).
Make the skeleton of the documentation.
Start to write pcigale script usage.

We follow the astropy version number scheme VERSION-RELEASE.

Take the Maraston 2005 models from the right page (see Readme.rst). The
one we were using come from an old (but still alive) page and the Kroupa
half solar metallicity SSP had a problem that was corrected around 2011.

Also, we keep all the unused SSP in the "not_in_base" folder.

In Maraston 2005 module, use Z value for metallicity (instead of
log10[Z/H]) and homogenise IMF name with BC03 ones.

PEP8-fication of the code and correction of various typos and spelling
mistakes.

If the SED is redshifted, apply the redshift before checking the
boundaries.

Prepare to make it possible to get the flux in a filter without taking
into account the contribution from the spectral lines.

Store the spectral lines in the SED as a three axis numpy array and add
a method to add new sets of lines.

Add the necessary structures and methods to add and retrieve them from the
database.

The redshifting also lower the fluxes (that's different from the
cosmological dimming).
Also, simplify some methods.

The process method was used to complete and check the parameter
dictionary before launching the _process one defined in each module. Now
that the parameters are dealed with at instantiation, this separation is
no more useful.

Also, modify the attenuation modules to read the filter in the database
at instantiation.

In order to speed-up module re-use, get the module needs (ssp,
filters...) out of pcigale database at module instantiation instead of
doing this everytime "process" is called.

To do that:
- we must give the module parameters (and proceed with their checking)
at
  module instantiation.
- we must add the possibility for each module to have its own
  initialisation code.

In addition, to create the configuration file, we must be able to load
the modules without any parameter to query them for their parameter
list.

The bc03, dh2002 and m2005 modules were changed to use this new
behavior.

To avoid problems that might occur when, for instance, using an integer
instead of a float, we now cast the module parameters to their expected
type. This will also have the advantage to raise an error when a
parameter can't be interpreted with its expected type.

Also, use integer for age parameters as we are now using Myr as unit.

Thanks to Médéric Boquien.
The normalisation factor must take into account the error associated
with each filter flux.

Thanks to Médéric Boquien.

It's a dictionnary to hold the spectral lines associated with the SED.
We use a disctionnary to be able to differentiate several sets of lines
(e.g. lines from old and young populations).

TODO: Complete the code to add the line contributions to the integrated flux.
