MYRaf; an astropy wrapper for astronomical photometry

What is MYRaf?

The MYRaf WAS a practicable astronomical image reduction and photometry software and interfaces for IRAF.

Nowadays MYRaf uses astropy and other python's libraries to achieve its purpose. For this, MYRaf uses IRAF, PyRAF, and many other python packages with a Qt framework. Also, MYRaf is free software and distributed with a GPLv3 license. You can use it without restrictive licenses, make copies for your friends, school, or institution.
