Описание тега pyfits

Note: PyFITS has been superseded by Astropy via the astropy.io.fits package. Please only the pyfits tag for questions that involve directly using older versions of PyFITS, as opposed to Astropy (in which case the astropy tag should be used).

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 was a development project of the Science Software Branch at the Space Telescope Science Institute.
