Hello,

I remember a few months ago some discussion on this list about various
python FITS routines in development.

I didn't pay much attention at the time since I didn't use FITS for any
of my work.  But this has since changed!

Does anyone have any FITS packages available?  I actually need one quite
soon.

Thanks a bunch,

Scott

Hello,
If you want an statically-linked, extended Python that is capable of
reading and writing fits images, I have that, at least for Linux and
Solaris.  I have an application written mostly in Python that does surface
brightness fitting, with or without convolving with a PSF.  I am using a
C++ class library for reading/writing fits images (the C++ classes check
for exposure and astrometry keywords, at least the old-fashioned CDELT1,
etc. ones).  I am using fftw for the convolutions, and to get the swig
interfaces for fftw and my C++ classes to work with the Numerical
extensions I had to combine them into one statically-linked module.  If
you want a more general purpose library, see
ftp://cossc.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/outgoing/barrett/PyFITS 
or

Cheers,
Andy Ptak

David is trying to find the time to make release 13. It would be nice if you
could wait and work from that.
My reservation is that people keep writing in wanting support for this type
or the other.  I'm worried about the consequences for both the complexity of
the package and the job clients face.
