run_curveProject.py

"""
Helper script for running Dory's `curveProject.py` code, which creates light curves
from GALEX data given an RA, DEC, and targetID

This script is about a half-step up from being hard-coded;
`.tsv` files are outputs from a ViZier search, with a substantial header
`.csv` files are just basic ascii lists with a single line header

If you're updating this to run with different target lists, or using it as a template
for your own helper `run` script, keep this in mind!
