Background
stsci_python is a library of Python routines and C extensions that has been developed to provide a general astronomical data analysis infrastructure. It includes the following:
- PyRAF, an environment for running IRAF tasks without using the IRAF CL
- MultiDrizzle, a task for combining dithered STScI images
- PyFITS, used to read FITS images and tables into numpy or numarray objects and to manipulate FITS headers
- Numdisplay, used to visualize numpy array objects using image display tools like ds9 and ximtool
