Abstract: In this paper we present PyCF3, a Python client for the cosmological distancevelocity calculator CosmicFlow-3. The project has a cache and retry system designed with the objective of reducing the stress on the server and mitigating the waiting times of the users in the calculations. We also address Quality Assurance code standards and availability of the code.
