tool, so I started with the container rather then the content.
Thanks for the very useful (however simple) observation

It isn't completely clear to me the difference and advantages about
standard Python Interpreter (you can execute commands and test script
like Matlab, can't you?) but I think I try to install it and take a
look.

Very good, this seems good for my purposes, 'cause for now I don't use Pyfits.

Thank you very much for your help. I'll start to write and test single
modules as you advice.
