Description-en: Python module for reading, writing, and manipulating FITS files
FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is a data format most used in
astronomy. PyFITS is a Python module for reading, writing, and manipulating
FITS files. The module uses Python's object-oriented features to provide quick,
easy, and efficient access to FITS files. The use of Python's array syntax
enables immediate access to any FITS extension, header cards, or data items.
.
This package provides PyFITS on the Python 2 module path. It is complemented
by python3-pyfits.
