The conversion is made transitive and non singular through the use of semilatus rectum instead of semimajor axis, see poliastro#62. The case of polar inclination is still pending.
My indecision still holds, so I'm reopening this issue. I find myself never dealing with parabolic orbits, yet I introduced this change and I find it extremely annoying for the remaining 100 % of my use cases. I'm thinking of reverting it once and for all. |

This is a consequence on my indecision about using the semimajor axis or the semilatus rectum. To avoid singularities and problems (see #37) I should probably move to using the semilatus rectum definitively.
If I make this change, probably the special function introduced in #38 won't be needed anymore.
