This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.
katpoint
Coordinate library for the SKA and MeerKAT radio telescopes, providing astronomical coordinate transformations, antenna pointing models, correlator delay models, source flux models and basic source catalogues, using an existing coordinate library such as Astropy to do the low-level calculations.
