| Summary : Reads and writes FITS files - DEPRECATED
|
Description :
PyFITS provides an interface to FITS formatted files in the Python scripting
language. It is useful both for interactive data analysis and for writing
analysis scripts in Python using FITS files as either input or output. PyFITS
is a development project of the Science Software Branch at the Space Telescope
Science Institute.
All of the functionality of PyFITS is now available in Astropy as the
astropy.io.fits package, which is now publicly available. Although we will
continue to release PyFITS separately in the short term, including any
critical bug fixes, we will eventually stop releasing new versions of PyFITS
as a stand-alone product. The exact timing of when we will discontinue new
PyFITS releases is not yet settled, but users should not expect PyFITS
releases to extend much past early 2014. Users of PyFITS should plan to make
suitable changes to support the transition to Astropy on such a timescale.
For the vast majority of users this transition is mainly a matter of changing
the import statements in their code--all APIs are otherwise identical to
PyFITS. STScI will continue to provide support for questions related to
PyFITS and to the new astropy.io.fits package in Astropy.
