Currently the excitation fitter uses Meudon transition data files and partition functions. munged into astropy-readable format, to enable fitting of several molecules. Another common format is the Leiden Atomic and Molecular Database (LAMDA) https://home.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~moldata/ . If the toolbox could read this format natively, it would open up more potential molecules for excitation fitting. We would also need the partition functions for these molecules, in tabular format or as a callable function of temperature.
It would help if there were already existing python code to read these tables.
