This PR addresses Issue #169 (also discussed in PR #165) by using the
astropy.config.ConfigNamespace.set_temp
context manager to temporarily set the default data download URL and then using eitherastropy.utils.data.get_pkg_data_fileobj
orastropy.utils.data.get_pkg_data_filename
to get a readable file or a path to the downloaded and cached file.However, I'm not convinced this approach leads to more elegant code than the original one. We eliminate the two wrapper functions, but the file-handling code is somewhat messy because of all the nesting. Please take a look and let me know what you think.
