JPL SBDB query fails for wildcard query of '467P*' about astroquery

[bsipocz]

@ttmc - We do close this issue, as the issue tracker is only supposed to track issues that are not yet fixed. Also, please note that the documentation clearly states that for astroquery the recommended way to install is with --pre (we do push out a lot of dev releases to pypi that contain hotfixes to address changes to server changes, so the library not at all like a usual backward compatible one.

@ttmc - Your wild-carded query works for me. what version of astroquery are you using? (if not the dev branch, then I would suggest to update with python -m pip install -U --pre astroquery

@bsipocz I just did a "normal" update of the astroquery package (with no --pre) but still had the same issue. Then I upgraded to the dev branch (by adding the --pre) as you suggested, and sure enough, the query for '467P*' now works.

I'm reluctant to close this issue, because for "normal" users of astroquery, it's still an issue. Maybe leave this issue open until the dev branch gets merged into the main branch?
