You can read more about this python module here:
Pysolar is a collection of Python libraries for simulating the irradiation of any point on earth by the sun. It includes code for extremely precise ephemeris calculations and more.
Using pip under Windows OS to install this python module:
C:\Python27\Scripts>pip install pysolar

Let's start with a simple example to calculate the angle between the sun and a plane tangent to the earth whereyou are:

>>> from pysolar.solar import *
>>> import datetime
>>> my_data = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> print (my_data)

>>> get_altitude_fast(47.4616,26.3015,datetime.datetime.now())

Let's try the scattering of light by the atmosphere, though it uses anatmospheric model based on data taken in the United States:
>>> latitude_deg =47.2741
>>> longitude_deg = 26.185
>>> my_data = datetime.datetime.now()
>>> altitude_deg = get_altitude(latitude_deg, longitude_deg,my_data)
