Astropy affiliated package
Project description
Description
This package consists of Python replacements for functions that are part of the IDL® built-in library or part of astronomical IDL® libraries. The emphasis is on reproducing results of the astronomical library functions. Only the bare minimum of IDL® built-in functions are implemented to support this.
There are four astronomical libraries targeted:
- idlutils : a general suite of tools heavily used by SDSS.
- Goddard utilities : The IDL® Astronomy User’s Libary, maintained by Wayne Landsman and distributed with idlutils.
- idlspec2d : tools for working with SDSS, BOSS and eBOSS spectroscopic data.
- photoop : tools for working with SDSS imaging data.
This package affiliated with the astropy project and is registered with PyPI.
