This would be a great set of functionality to incorporate into PVLIB.  It could be a good project to either integrate the whole code base into the pvlib project (I was involved in the PyRTM project, and I think this would be great). Or, it might we worthwhile to pull in  a set of functions to reference it in PVLIB, as PyRTM is already up on pip. \r\n\r\n@uniphil any thoughts?

Requires [Chris Gueyrmard's SMARTS model](http://www.nrel.gov/rredc/smarts/) which is easy to compile. I used gfortran from msys-2 on windows, so I'm sure you can do it in linux or mac as well.\r\n\r\n[RRTM](http://rtweb.aer.com/rrtm_frame.html) from [Atmospheric & Environmental Research (AER) \r\nRadiative Transfer Working Group](http://rtweb.aer.com/) is _rapid_ radiative xfer model, but not a spectral model, probably broadband, used in forecasting models? Not sure, shoulkd shoot @tomflannaghan a message.\r\n\r\nWatch out lots of irrelevant pyrtms (remember the milk) on the cheeseboard."}}
